Baby Care Kits 2021
Joe Hustad, Pastor David, Suze Engbretson, and Sherrie Wade delivered our 151 baby kits last Saturday to St. Andrew Lutheran Church in Beaverton.  Rochelle McIntire, the new Lutheran World Relief volunteer director, welcomed our boxes! The boxes are bound for Baltimore, then on to countries around the globe.

During the Thanksgiving season, ChristChurch invites you to contribute to sponsoring a family via The Molly Thompson Memorial Fund.

 

The Molly Thompson Memorial Fund sponsors families with a seriously ill child that is experiencing severe financial hardship. Donations will go towards a tree, presents, food, and a gift card to cover necessities.

 

ChristChurch November 2021 goal: $500
