Synod Snapshots from this Week! |

6 Lutheran Churches in Humboldt County partnered together this weekend for a Day of Service! The group partnered with three different nonprofits throughout the day to help serve the local community. Our Savior's Lutheran in Ferndale, Christ Lutheran in Fortuna, Lutheran Church of Arcata, Calvary Lutheran in Eureka, Immanuel Lutheran in Eureka, and Grace Good Shepherd in McKinleyville were all present for the day. |

The other morning service project led folk to the beach for a clean-up with the PacOut Green Team! You may see a few "Lutherans in Action, Humboldt County" shirts that the group made for their service day together. |

"As the world has reeled from the effects of a deadly pandemic, we have seen the number of hungry people around the world rise, watched as food pantries and soup kitchens expanded to serve an ever-growing number of guests, and longed together for the time when we “will hunger no more, and thirst no more ... and God will wipe away every tear from [our] eyes” (Revelation 7:16-17)."
