When disaster strikes our brothers and sisters across the world, how can we respond?
When we seek to create sustainable development and relief from hunger and cycles of poverty, how can we unite to do this?
The answer is Lutheran World Relief. LWR is the way we at Muhlenberg are connected with other Lutherans around the world in making God's promises of abundant life real. This happens in tangible ways - in responding to disaster, in sustainable development, education, quilts, health kits, and other tangible support.
Listen in to this week's podcast, featuring a very special guest, Kristin Vought, program associate for external relations at LWR. She shares an overview of the ways LWR shines light and good news all over the world, and also a couple powerful personal stories of people's lives transformed! We were so glad to have Kristin join us - she was glad to bring her greetings to Muhlenberg, and remembers you all fondly as home!
Thank you for the ways you, as Muhlenberg, joining with so many others, have responded in love. An example is the recent response of Muhlenberg through LWR to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
Our local emphasis this week is a little-known way we are able to provide critical relief for members of our congregation - the pastors' discretionary fund. Check out this week's Chimes newsletter for more!
