• POBLO International MIssion

  POBLO International, also known as People of the Book Lutheran Outreach, is a mission organization that focuses on transforming the way missions are approached in the United States. It aims to meet the physical, social, and spiritual needs of Muslims and other legal immigrants and refugees by sharing the love of Jesus in practical and culturally relevant ways. POBLO utilizes a three-pronged strategy for its work: missions, grassroots community engagement, and training and education. This approach allows POBLO to effectively reach out to and engage with the diverse communities it serves, including those from Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, and Buddhist backgrounds. The organization has trained and sent over 100 ethnic missionaries to work in the U.S. and foreign mission fields since its inception in 1993. POBLO's efforts are supported by the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS), which provides a platform for its mission work and community engagement.

• HELP Needed for Helping Hands Food Pantry

  

  Members, you can add a designated amount to your tax deductible church offerings by marking it for "food pantry". This will provide you with the tax deductible benefit for your support. Lannie in our office will then combine all offerings in a single check for the food pantry on a regular basis as part of our ongoing mission project. 

  The following list are items that the Food Pantry cannot get easily from the Food Bank of Siouxland anymore. This list may seem excessive but it reflects on how short they are with food items at this time. Donors can drop off any of these items at the church entry way designated satellite location Mon-Thu 10a-2:30p, Wed 6-8p or Sun 8a-11a:
