Work
"[F]or I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’
Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?’
And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’"
—Matthew 25:35-40 (NRSV)
LDR Carolinas Donates to Disaster Relief
On November 12, LDR Carolina's made a special visit to St. Mark LC, Lumberton NC to joyfully present two checks to Maxine Amos and SAM Deb Rosenberg (who took this photo).
The first check was a solidarity grant from Lutheran Disaster Response to help the congregation assist their community with short term unmet needs following Tropical Storm Debby. This check will be used to support the efforts of the Robeson County Disaster Recovery Coalition.
The second, from the NC Synod, ELCA Disaster Fund, will help the congregation make the repairs needed to their sanctuary after the storm.
As an expression of our faith, we witness and work in our community doing God's work with our hands through a variety of groups and projects. We invite you to explore and join in the opportunities available. To learn more, click on the links below.
