Project "Winter Warm Up for Refugees"

Thrivent Action Team and CFNA

In addition to Thrivent’s support, CFNA asked for donations of blankets and heaters from Concordia, Kirkwood and the Lutheran Church of Webster Gardens. About 50 blankets and 2 heaters were generously donated, plus money to buy blankets. A $250 Visa card provided by Thrivent was used to buy heaters from Amazon.com and 6 blankets at Walmart, Kirkwood.

Prayerfully consider volunteering to share Christ’s love with refugees from Iran, Jordan, Sudan, Nepal, Afghanistan and around the world. Questions: Call Carol (314) 517-8513.
