As a member congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Grace supports established Lutheran organizations throughout the world that are doing good work where it is most needed. You are invited to make a special gift to one of these organizations, either through Grace or directly to the organization on it’s webpage.
If you wish to give through Grace, you can make a check out to Grace University Lutheran Church and put the organization’s name in the memo, and collected funds will be sent in a timely manner. You can also do this in a “Special Offering” envelope available at Grace, where you can insert your cash or check and indicate the receiver.
Otherwise, please go directly to the organization’s website and give online. Here are current possibilities:
Lutheran Disaster Response: Lutheran Disaster Response brings God’s hope, healing and renewal to people whose lives have been disrupted by disasters in the United States and around the world. When the dust settles and the headlines change, we stay to provide ongoing assistance to those in need. Learn more.
