October 2005 - GHOJ Benevolence Gifts Task Force
The Benevolence Gifts Task Force of God’s Hope ~ Our Journey is pleased to announce that we as a congregation will be reaching out with hope by presenting four ministry gifts of $2,750 each in 2005. Two of these gifts will be for local ministries – two will be for national or global ministries.
Brochures are available with descriptions of the following ten different ministries that the task force recommends as potential recipients of this year’s benevolence gifts.
Local Ministries
Urban Servant Corps
Southwest Community Ministry
Jeffco Action Center
Cristo Rey Lutheran Church (Hispanic Ministries – Denver)
Senior Outreach: Lutheran Family Services
National/Global Ministries
Lutheran World Relief
Wings of Hope, Home for Disabled Children – Haiti
Cristo Rey – Border Ministries and Immersion Program, El Paso, Texas
Operation Bootstrap – supporting Maasai Girls’ Lutheran Secondary School, Tanazania
Peace School for the Bline (Palestine)
If these projects or organizations sound familiar, it’s for a good reason. It was decided that the candidates for these first year gifts should represent ministries with which Atonement as a congregation has already had a relationship.
On the last two Sunday of Octobers, those attending the worship services will have the opportunity to vote for two local and two national/global ministries. Those receiving the most votes will announced at the Harvest of Hope Festival on Saturday, November 5.
