We respond to God's Blessings with acts of kindness to bless others

 

Seeking Ways to Bless our Neighbors - Cyrus Center youth shelter

We want to praise God His many blessings by seeking out opportunities to bless others in His name.  We partner with local relief agencies such as the Cyrus Center youth shelter and outreach program.  Cyrus Center provides meals, counselling and even shelter for Chilliwack's marginalized youth. Reaching out to these young people can help steer them onto a good path where they will not need supports as adults.

Children's Education and Feeding Program - Nicaragua

Our 2024 international mission project will be to support the child feeding and education program in Nicaragua, which is operated by Concordia Lutheran Mission Society, the mission auxiliary of Lutheran Church-Canada.  Most of the Lutheran Churches in Nicaragua are in impoverished rural communities. Through the funding of the feeding program in those congregations, children are given at least one nutritious meal per day and provided with a basic education. Concordia Lutheran Mission Society has a goal for 2024 of raising $20,000 for this project.  Please keep this project, and the children of our mission churches in Nicaragua, in your prayers. We will have several fund-raising events for this project, but you are welcome to donate at any time but designating your gift for the Nicaragua Mission Project. 

Most Ministries - giving the gift of sight

Another partner organization, Most Ministries, operates eye glass clinics in third world countries. Volunteers take donated eyeglasses into the poorest areas and give the gift of sight. In many cases people are able to escape the slums simply by being able to see well enough to work. We collect all types of eye glasses and also make witness necklaces and finger puppets which the Most Ministry volunteers use to explain the Gospel to clients at the eye glass clinic. This is an ongoing project so bring your eyeglasses to the church at any time.

 

Reaching out in love to Klemtu

On July 17 to July 27 a team of volunteers from St. Paul's Chilliwack and St. Luke's Lutheran Church, Surrey journeyed to the village of Klemtu on the BC north coast to conduct a children's program and interact with the men and women of their village. Please continue to pray for the village of Klemtu that God's Spirit would continue to work in people's lives.  May God be honored & glorified!
