Caring Community

Did you hear the buzzzzz….?


The temperature is warmer. Rain is falling into puddles. School is almost out. All signs that MOSQUITOS ARE COMING! We might think mosquitos are annoying – really annoying. But for those in other parts of the world, the buzz of a mosquito can mean death, because mosquitos carry malaria. Beginning on Pentecost Sunday (May 27th), we’ll celebrate the buzz of the Holy Spirit empowering us to spread the gospel, by preventing the spread of malaria.

Only $10 provides a Mosquito Net through the ELCA Malaria Initiative. The ELCA Malaria Initiative provides nets, education, and healthcare to those affected by malaria. Pssstt…As well as giving Mosquito Nets, you’ll also have the opportunity to support sending our kids, youth, and families to summer camp at CrossRoads Camp. A Campership Fund will be created that will better enable our children, youth, and families to spend time this summer with God, and mosquitos too! Giving forms will be in the bulletin and the June Newsletter. The mosquitos are coming – and we can do something about it!
