Food and Faith

The KAIR group has spent part of last spring and this fall using a curriculum helping them understand the relationship between our Food and Faith. There were fun activities and Bible stories that allowed the students to think and talk about food, faith, and hunger.

As a final activity they prepared a meal for their families so they could sit down and enjoy it together. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. There were also several meals delivered as a means of outreach to the community and sharing their "bounty" with others. This is the group who will be collecting UNICEF donations the next two Sundays.

Trick or Treat for UNICEF

UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) is the "driving force that helps build a world where the rights of every child are realized." Our KAIR group will have UNICEF boxes in the narthex to collect change for this important cause. They will also be collecting food for our local food pantry on Oct 24 and Oct 31. In this time of harvest and thanksgiving, Let us remember those who are in need.

COOKBOOKS HAVE ARRIVED!!

The Deerfield Lutheran Women of the ELCA will be selling the new cookbooks for $10 each. The fundraiser will benefit the HELP Handicap Access Fund.

CROP WALK On Sunday, October 10th participants of all ages from Deerfield Lutheran and Grace Lutheran in Cambridge walked, ran, pulled or pushed 1- 3- or 5-miles for the CROP Hunger Walk. Thanks to their efforts dollars was collected for CROP; 25% of this will go directly to Deerfield Community Food Pantry or Cambridge Community Food Pantry. A verse in the hymn dedicated to the participants: "Not all here walk with strength or speed but all can give to those in need. And as we serve you, may we know you walk with us where'er we go."
