Over the past two months, a surge of COVID-19 cases has ravaged India. Padhar Hospital, a ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Madhya Pradesh, has a ward dedicated to COVID-19 patients. Unfortunately, the hospital is currently being forced to turn away patients because it lacks the space and oxygen to support them. Lutheran Disaster Response is helping Padhar Hospital purchase an oxygen generator for its COVID-19 ward so it can treat more patients. For the past year, Lutheran Disaster Response has supported companion churches and partners throughout India and around the world as they raise awareness about COVID-19, provide personal protective equipment and distribute sanitation supplies to vulnerable communities.

The Mission of the Got Lunch program in  the Jaffrey Rindge community is to ensure that all children always have access to a healthy meals.     

The  Got Lunch is a volunteer-run program and is funded through donations  received from individuals,  organizations and businesses in the  community.

Recognizing that many children in the Jaffrey-Rindge school district are dependent on the healthy lunch program  provided by the school to provide proper nutrition, but that no  such program  existed while school was in recess.

Although Catch-up Sunday has passed it's never to late to "catch-up" in your offerings if you missed any. 

There are additional Red envelopes in the Narthex and in the pews.
