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!
