News About The Chaplaincy Fund

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW ! ! ! ! The Iowa District East Chaplaincy Endowment Fund went over the $ 250,000.00 mark this past May!!!! We thank the Lord of the Church for continuing to bless this particular mission so that our Savior's Kingdom work at University Hospitals in Iowa City might someday be fully supported by the earnings off this fund. Hopefully, other similar pastoral care ministries might be supported by this fund in other places as well, Ft. Madison Prison, Oakdale Prison, Prisons at Anamosa, Mt. Pleasant, Newton, Mitchellville, along with possibilities in long term care facilities around our District. So many people have no visitors or clergy bringing the Word of our Lord Jesus or His body & blood them, even once a year.

Please note: If you, or someone from your congregation is going to be a patient at University Hospitals, P L E A S E have your religious preference listed as Lutheran - Missouri Synod. Otherwise, it is likely you will not be seen by any of our chaplains. PLEASE feel free to contact Chaplain H. Scheer at 319 356 1987 office, or have the hospital operator contact him 319 356 1616 on pager 3436. Chaplain / Deaconess Carol Goldfish may be paged on 5133 or a message may be left on her voice mail 319 353 6928. Carol is here Monday, Wednesday, & Friday afternoons & evenings. A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO EVERY ONE IN IOWA DISTRICT EAST FOR PRAYING & FOR FINANCIALLY SUPPORTING OUR LORD'S WORK AT UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS!!!!!
