Cool Congregations

Solving Global Warming One Family at a Time

The SE Iowa Synod recently entered into a partnership with Iowa Interfaith Power & Light, an ecumenical organization that addresses the problems
of global warming and climate change from a faith basis. As part of this relationship, congregations of our synod will be able to participate in the "Cool Congregations" workshop free of charge for the next 3 years. The first workshop is scheduled for Saturday morning, May 31, at Faith Lutheran in Clive.

Hospice Kit Project

One of ways that we can support our friends at Gonja Lutheran Hospital, located just a mile  from companion congregation, the Mramba Parish, in Tanzania, is by assembling Hospice Kits for Gonja's ministry with AIDS patients. Hospice Kits are being collected throughout the month of May to be included in the next container of medical supplies going to Tanzania in June. St. John's goal is to provide 150 Hospice Kits! Please pick up a Ziploc bag with the list of items needed in the narthex, and return it to St. John's by June 1. Thank you!
