CAN YOU HELP?The Covid-19 pandemic continues to impact many different regions of the Moravian world. Here in North America, the BWM has provided grants to over 55 congregations and agencies to help with expenses in making transitions to online worship services and to assist with other communication tools as community gatherings have been curtailed.
As the pandemic continues to spread, Covid-19 is now impacting our Moravian brothers and sisters in Latin America as case counts are rapidly rising in a part of the world that does not have the healthcare infrastructure we take for granted in North America. We have already sent aid packages to Honduras, Peru, and Cuba, and the BWM is now evaluating several larger grant requests for medical and protective equipment, hygiene kits, and food. The pandemic will continue to require us to be attentive to needs and respond with aid for some time to come. The need to provide significant financial assistance to these areas has begun to stress our Moravian Disaster Response Fund. We are asking for gifts, both large and small, to enable us to respond as generously as we can to help meet these needs. For more information on how to give, including a video about our Covid-19 appeal, please visit our website at www.moravianmission.org. |

JOYFUL NOISEThe Joyful Noise Offering in September will be given to The Rapids Family Backpacks program.
Rapids Family Backpacks is a non-profit organization whose mission is ‘providing nutritious weekend meals in a backpack for Wisconsin Rapids Public School families facing hunger.’ The backpacks are intended for the whole family, not just the child, and encourage nutritious family meals. Each Friday, families participating in the program receive a backpack with a meal and meal ‘stretchers’ like cereal, oatmeal, or peanut butter. The backpacks are placed in the student lockers and contain a recipe and all of the non-perishable ingredients to make the meal. |
