Blessing Box

Thank you for your generous support of the Blessing Box! The Blessing Box continues to be an important food resource for our community. Donations of non-perishable food and household items are always welcome. Items can be placed directly in the box or placed in the tote in the narthex.

​Our Blessing Box was installed  April 2017. This free pantry provides food and household items to anyone in need; the community has heavily used this resource since it was installed. If you would like to donate to the Blessing Box, your donations can be put directly into the Blessing Box or dropped off at the church office.  We ask that any donated food products not be expired and can withstand the outside weather.  

MEALS FOR THE HOMEBOUND

HOME-COOKED FOR THE HOME-BOUND
On February 24, we made our first delivery to home-bound members.  We delivered around 10 meals each to 13 members.  That's over 130 meals!  It's not too late to join our group of meal-makers.  Vickie Hemenway will be in the gathering space following both Sunday services to present the program's information.  These meetings are for anyone who couldn't make the initial meetings.  Can't cook but would still like to help?  We need some help on the 4th Sunday of each month to deliver the meals (all in Norwalk).  See Vickie if you would like to help. 

Lutheran World Relief Supplies

Once again, we are in need of hand towels, bars of soap, and baby socks for our baby kits. Please place the items in the basket by the elevator.  Thank you for all your support!!

Water for Tanzania
Northwest Ohio Synod Global Mission
 
“Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty”
(John 4:13)
 
Water is a vital resource for health and wellness. Clean water keeps people healthy, supports crops and livestock, and contributes to a healthy economy. We are incredibly fortunate to have plentiful access to clean drinking water in the United States. Our brothers and sisters in Tanzania do not have access to this resource. Wells are few and far between. People, primarily women and girls, often trek 3 miles or more to carry water from the nearest stream to their village.
 
In partnership with the Dodoma Diocese, the NWOS Global Mission program is raising funds to improve access to clean water in Tanzania. The funds raised will support development and maintenance of water wells throughout the diocese.
 
How can you help?
During Lent, St. Peter is collecting funds to support the installation and maintenance of water wells in Tanzania. All funds collected will be distributed to the Dodoma Diocese through the Northwest Ohio Synod Global Mission program. Donations can be made by marking a pew envelope with ‘Water Wells”, on our website, or through the Tithe.ly app.
 
This project is coordinated by the Concerns Committee. If you have any questions, please contact any committee member.
 
Thank you for your support!
