WEEKLY CHAPEL OFFERINGS

Last week in Chapel, the students began discussing: “where should our monetary chapel offerings go this year?” In past years’ the children have elected to give to homeless shelters and purchased livestock for families in need. Each class will be able to choose the organizations they wish to support. 
In addition to monetary chapel offerings, children may bring food items; canned food, rice, pasta, etc. to help with our “Feed My Sheep” food bank donations. The congregation will be sharing these collections with three local food banks: The Lutheran Food Bank in Glendale, Hathaway-Sycamores in the Garvanza District of Highland Park, and the Faith United Food Bank on Figueroa Street.
