Sew and Tell Pictures

St. Ansgar was touched and inspired by the care and dedication that went into The Sewing Group's work. School kits, dress making kits, layettes (for newborns), and health kits will soon be on their way to Lutheran World Relief (LWR). For more information on how these kits make a difference click on "The Sewing Group" in the menu on the right side of the screen. There is a video available online that follows kits from American churches to LWR sites.

Bread for the World Sunday Sun, 10/21











Bread for the World is an interdenominational Christian group that works to end hunger through political advocacy.

According to Bread for the World's website, Bread for the World Sunday is "a time for churches to renew their commitment to end hunger in God's world - and take part in a growing movement on behalf of hungry people. Major church bodies, religious organizations, and congregations everywhere are all participating in an international effort to overcome poverty, hunger, and disease in Africa, the United States, and around the world."

Pastor Joe Doherty will be discussing the work of this laudable group and hunger's place in our faith journey.
