Let's Take a Walk...And Support the CAR!
Did you know that most pastors in the CAR walk from congregation to congregation in order to do their weekly ministry? President Golike has asked us to support the urgent need for motorcycles, health care and education, so it is our turn to walk!
An awesome walk-a-thon is being sponsored by St. John Lutheran Church in Cat Spring, TX September 30 to October 2nd, 2010 to raise awareness and funding for one of our companion synods, the Central African Republic. Learn how YOU can help!
