Haiti Earthquake Relief: A basket is located in the rear
of the Sanctuary in which you can place your gift. Please
make your check payable to St. Matthew’s and on the memo
line indicate “LWR.” As a nation responded to the
Charleston earthquake of 1886, so we – in kind – respond to
those who are suffering today. For those of you who would
like to “text” a contribution to Lutheran World Relief,
please contact Matt for the proper code.
