February Chapel Offerings:  LERT -- Lutheran Early Response Team

St. Paul’s LERT team is a part of the Lutheran church’s disaster response ministry:  https://www.lcms.org/how-we-serve/mercy/disaster-response Not only does our St. Paul team travel to areas that have been devastated by natural disasters , but also to those whose lives have been changed by tragedy.   This group of people also recognizes the dedicated, compassionate ministry of others who, even in their daily lives, consider others as greater than themselves.  This is an incredible group of people, supporting Jesus’ mission -- to reach those in their deepest needs and meet them.
