Fighting Hidden Hunger in an Affluent Community
Aug 3, 2026 | Stories of Ministry
This story is about more than fundraising—it’s about a congregation recognizing that hunger doesn’t always look the way people expect.
Congregations across the synod—and beyond!—gathered safely and creatively to serve on “God’s work. Our Hands.” Sunday. Even though the year 2021 has been like no other, congregations committed to faithful service. Congregations submitted stories of the many ways they served, the many lives they touched. Read them all here. And, get service ideas for your congregation next year!
Thanks be to God.
