The ELCIR Diaconal Department would like to thank St. Mary’s Congregation in St. Petersburg for the groceries they have collected for the needy. They will be given to the two mothers in the care of Vasilyevsky Diaconal Center who we reported on earlier. It’s a great joy that our church members have such responsive hearts to serve our Lord with works of mercy. We hope other congregations of our Church develop similar projects to collect food aid.
