Monthly Mission Emphasis
In addition to collecting non-perishable items for the Dallas Christian Ministry, each month OSLC emphasizes a different ministry with opportunities with which the congregation can engage through prayer, service, and giving. Each organization bears witness to the love and mercy of God.
The mission emphasis for March is NALC Disaster Response. For more about this mission, visit their website (https://thenalc.org/nalc-disaster-response/).
NALC Disaster Response is a vital and active part of our church. In 2010 the North American Lutheran Church determined a need for a disaster response coordinator to support congregations in their response when disasters strike. They provide disaster preparedness training, early response coordination and long-term recovery training.
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.
NALC Disaster Response has resources and capabilities to assist in early response and longer term recovery. We can open the gates to material resources, networking, counseling, training, and volunteers. Remember, the key is early communication! When disaster strikes the NALC Disaster Response has to have supplies and resources to help those in need. That is where our congregation and others come into the picture by either donating monetary/gift cards donations. Even after (as
stated above) the dust has settled, they need to have supplies on hand after a disaster has struck.
Instead of purchasing items, the Board recommend that members can help by purchasing a gift card (Lowe’s, Home Depot, Target, Walmart, etc.) and placing it in the basket provided in the Narthex or table in Education wing during month of March.
