SUMMER CHILDREN’S MISSION PROJECT – At VBS we began collecting items for Orphan Grain Train’s School Supply Kits. We will continue to collect supplies until the opening of Sunday School on September 11th. As you purchase supplies for your own child, we pray that you would also pick up an item or two for this project. If you would like to help out, more information is available in the brochures next to the collection bin. Thank you – The Board of Education

DID YOU KNOW that since the Civil War, LCMS pastors have served as military chaplains? Today, LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces supports a total of 214 chaplains. Among these chaplains, 71 are active duty LCMS chaplains and 88 are serving Reserve or National Guard units. Currently, 15 of these Reserve/Guard chaplains are mobilized and serving in the United States, Iraq and Afghanistan. LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces also supports 25 Veterans Administration chaplains, 26 Civil Air Patrol and four chaplains for the Federal Bureau of Prison ministry.
LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces initiated Operation Barnabas in 2007 in response to the growing needs of returning military personnel. While Operation Barnabas is a network of care to all of our nation’s military members and their families, special emphasis is given to our Reserve members and their families. Why is it called ‘Operation Barnabas?’ Barnabas was Paul’s companion who helped him on his missionary journeys; his name means “son of encouragement.” Operation Barnabas’s goal is to encourage our military and their families with the Gospel in action!
