It’s just about halfway to the holidays. Get an early jump on your Christmas shopping by making a donation to the ELCA’s Good Gifts Program. The ELCA Good Gifts are a creative, meaningful way to support the ministries of the ELCA to help raise communities out of poverty by helping to purchase livestock and agriculture, items to enable clean water, and healthcare to name a few.
The Social Ministry Committee is sponsoring a “Christmas in July” donation drive for Good Gifts with a Christmas tree bearing Good Gifts ornaments. Select an ornament (or two) of the gift you’d like to donate, fill out the order form and put it with cash or check for your donation in the tin beside the Christmas tree. Please make checks out to St. John’s and put “Good Gifts Christmas in July” in the memo line. We’ll tally up all the Good Gifts and send one donation and order form at the end of the fundraising.
