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.
One of our 2025 international mission projects 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.
March 23 Mission Lunch
On Sunday, March 23 we will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the ordination of our faithful brother in Christ, Rev. Dr. William Mundt. While we take this opportunity to thank and praise God for faithful Pastors here at home, we will also be remembering those who serve in lands far away. In thanksgiving we will also hold a Mission Lunch on March 23 to support the work of one of Pastor Mundt's former students, Rev. Yuri Timerkan, who serves two congregations and two mission sites in war torn Ukraine.
