$1,795 in contributions from St. John's sent to Haiti ELCA Disaster Relief. A report from LWR is found at http://www.lwr.org/news/news.asp?LWRnewsDate=7/12/2010#

This year the Blanket Fund received $865 in gifts. Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing with the poor! These gifts are forwarded to Church World Service who in turn provides blankets, food and medicine to third-world countries.
The Jesse Hall Memorial Fund received $380 which will be shared with Camp Caroline Furnace, a camp Jesse enjoyed greatly. Jesse basically grew up in our congregation and was a wonderful young man. His death was sudden, and oh too soon! Thanks to everyone for remembering him in such a terrific way.
