Black Hawk Lutherans For Life, along with churches in the Waterloo Circuit, participated in many events in observation of Life Sunday, on January 20th.
Several area congregations participated in the Pennies For Life campaign to raise money to support the state chapter of Lutherans For Life. The members at Concordia, Faith, Grace, Immanuel of Waterloo, and St. John, Waverly were challenged to donate a penny for each year of their life. $269.82 was collected, equaling 26,982 years.
To help observe the day, Black Hawk Lutherans For Life provided local churches with Life Sunday bulletin inserts from the national office of LFL. They were a simple reminder of how precious God’s gift of life is, and the sacrifice He gave to redeem His people back from death.
That morning, Immanuel Lutheran Church in Waterloo held a brunch between services to raise money for Black Hawk LFL.
Life Sunday concluded with a solemn service at Faith Lutheran Church in Waterloo, officiated by Pastor Killian. It was a remembrance of all those who have lost their lives to abortion, and to remember those who still need to hear God’s forgiving message of the Gospel. A total of $246.00 was given during the service. Half of that offering will go to the Alternatives Pregnancy Center to help mothers in some very difficult circumstances to choose life for their child.
On January 30th, confirmation classes from Immanuel and Faith Lutheran Churches in Waterloo joined together for a servant event. At Faith Lutheran 60 youth and adults painted 200 crosses for the Witness of the Crosses display. The crosses will be set up at churches in the area this spring and summer. Each of the 3,000 crosses in the display represents one life that is lost each day to abortion here in the United States. Thank you to both churches for helping organize the youth and adults to get this service project closer to completion.
A thank you to all who have and continue to support the activities of Black Hawk Lutherans For Life through their donations and prayers this past year.
Black Hawk Lutherans For Life meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month, at 5:30pm, at Valley Lutheran School in Cedar Falls. For more information call Kie at (319) 231-5711.
