At the 2009 Synod Assembly we affirmed our support for the fight against hunger being made by the ELCA Hunger Appeal www.elca.org/hunger The Northeastern Iowa Synod's Lutheran Youth Organizationwww.neiasynod.org/youth (LYO) would like to support this effort by offering it's annual Hunger Challenge to congregations and especially their youth.
The challenge is to raise as many funds as possible for the ELCA Hunger Appeal and/or for local food shelves between now and the LYO Assembly in Dubuque on March 13. This will include the traditional date of the "Souperbowl Sunday" on Feb 7 http://souperbowl.org. In addition, the LYO Board has many resources available on the web page
www.neiasynod.org/youth/hunger.asp
All congregations who participate will receive a certificate and thank you letter from the LYO. The congregation which raises the most funds, per member, will be presented with a trophy, an original ceramic artwork created by an LYO Board member of a football in a Bowl with hearts
To help the board be efficient please send us an email to let us know you have accepted the challenge. You can email Pastor Mark Anderson at andersonm@neiasynod.org to accept the challenge!
