I’m not someone who writes new year’s resolutions.  I never have been.  But, I am someone who likes to reflect on what I have learned in the past and use it to help me grow in the future.

Dear Holy Cross Lutheran Church,
Thank you for your gift of $500 to Lutheran Disaster Response. This season we remember a time before Christ's birth, when humanity waited to be delivered from fear and sin. But we also remember the day the waiting ended. Our Savior arrived, and now we live in a world transformed by God's grace. Through your gifts to Lutheran Disaster Response, you share the everlasting joy of that transformation with our neighbors around the world.
Jesus was born to reign in us forever. Now you are inviting countless others into his gracious kingdom. Thank you.
In Christ,
Amanda White - Director, Congregational Generosity
