Sunday School Mission
Hope's Sunday school mission offerings for 2008-2009 will go to "Adopt an Orphanage". For more information on this WELS World Mission, go to http://www.wels.net/cgi-bin/site.pl?2601&collectionID=687.
For 2008-2009, we are trying something a little different. Each of the Sunday School students will have their own box of offering envelopes. They will bring their offering in the envelope and put it in the offering plate during the worship service. We will not do a separate offering collection during the Sunday school opening.
Any adults wanting to support to the Sunday School mission are invited to do so. Please place your offering in the offering plate and clearly indicate that it is for the Sunday school mission “Adopt an orphanage”. Your offering will be added to the Sunday School offering and sent in the spring or when we have gathered a sum of funds, if sooner.
From Hope Evangelical Lutheran Church, Sunday School Handbook:
"Offerings are collected from the children every Sunday. Each fall, the Sunday School staff and students choose a mission to receive their offerings. They are encouraged to give faithfully in order to learn to give regular gifts back to the Lord in response to His redeeming love. We believe this promotes good Christian stewardship principles among our children that will be with them for a lifetime. The offerings that are gathered are then sent to the chosen mission in May."
