THE FUNERAL SERVICE for Lorraine Wipf was held last Thursday, August 18th. Lorraine was received into Glory on August 15th. We ask God to comfort her family in their time of grief with the sure and certain hope of the resurrection of all flesh on the Last Day and the subsequent joyful reunion in heaven of all believers.
EAST AFRICA DROUGHT RELIEF – The worst drought in 60 years is devastating East Africa. According to UN reports, the scarce rainfall has created severe drought and widespread food shortages affecting more than 11 million people principally in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia. The famine has already killed more than 29,000 children under the age of 5 in southern Somalia alone; hundreds of thousands of more children are acutely malnourished and need help or they, too, will starve to death. To date, LCMS World Relief has given $150,000 in grants for food in the hardest hit areas. Please help, if you can, with a donation now or in the weeks and months ahead. Your donation may be put into the offering plate with a notation for “African Drought Relief” or you may mail your donation directly to: LCMS World Care (African Drought Relief), P. O. Box 66861, St. Louis, MO 63166-6861. If you have any questions, you may call (888) 930-4438.
