ELCA Advocacy Alert
Our communities braced for nationwide raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in July 2019. The planned raids were reported to focus on 10 major cities where the Department of Justice had sped up immigration cases for thousands of recent arrivals.
Lutherans have a deep-rooted history in refugee and immigrant issues. One of every six Lutherans in the world was a refugee or displaced person after WWII. The God-given dignity in all people and value of family unity have been cornerstones of ELCA faith-based advocacy, and we understand that many immigrants, as well as their families, are both afraid and confused by these developments. Daily experience of ministries, Lutheran organizations and members “Keep before us – so that we do not forget – the grim realities many immigrants face and the strength of character and resourcefulness newcomers demonstrate,” notes the ELCA social message.

West Valley Food Pantry Volunteers Needed
Rosemary Capodieci is now assisting Randy on the board at West Valley food pantry. Their volume has tripled or more and they are in desperate need of volunteers to unload food from trucks and put food into bags. Clients are driving through in cars And groceries are handed to them. The pantry also needs volunteers to do data entry due to the large number of new clients. Volunteers would need to bring their own masks. Volunteers should discuss distancing and safety issues with the director, Debbie. Contact information is below. Please let me know you received this. Thank you, Rosemary

Virtual Vacation Bible School
The Lutheran Retreats, Camps and Conferences (LRCC) has advised us that their Board of Directors voted this week to cancel all of the on-site, Beach Camp and Day Camp programs for the summer. It was an extremely difficult decision for them, but for the safety of their staff and campers they could find no other option.
BUT WAIT! HAVE NO FEAR! THERE'S A "PLAN B" BREWING!
WE WILL BE OFFERING AN ONLINE ALTERNATIVE!
DETAILS OF OUR FAMILY VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL WILL BE COMING SOON. IT WILL TAKE THE FORM OF A WEEKLY FAMILY VBS ADVENTURE, BEGINNING LATE JUNE THROUGH EARLY AUGUST!
