At the 2009 Synod Assembly we affirmed our support for the fight against hunger being made by the ELCA Hunger Appeal
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
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 a trophy, an original ceramic artwork created by an LYO Board member of a football in a Bowl with hearts.
By the way...the 17th Annual LYO Assembly is almost here:
March 13-14, 2010
Grand River Center
Dubuque, Iowa
Sponsored by:
Northeastern Iowa Synod, ELCA with help from Lutheran Services of Iowa
The event will include Worship, a "poverty Simulation" hosted by LSI, improv and music hosted by outdoor ministry staff, and great food.
