Watch all of Team Germany’s football (soccer) matches at UEFA EURO 2024 Championship

UPDATE: We thank everyone who helped at and attended the UEFA EURO Team Germany Football (soccer) Watch Parties which raised money for our church. Although Germany lost in the quarter finals, we had a great time!

This was our second fundraiser this year. We raised $___pending_____. Our first was Mother’s Day bake sale in which is raised $325.

We are so grateful for your donations…. and here are several reasons why:

• Maintaining the Church: Contributions help maintain our church building, ensuring it remains a safe, welcoming space for worship, fellowship, and community gatherings. This includes everything from utilities and repairs to keeping the grounds well-maintained. We also maintain the parsonage and the adjoining duplex which houses our custodian and Martin Luther Child Care programs.

• Enhancing Worship Services: Donations help us enhance our worship services through music, technology, and other resources that enrich the spiritual experience. This includes funding for organ maintenance and repairs, sound systems, and educational materials that deepen our faith journey.

• Supporting Ministers and Staff: Your financial support ensures that our pastor (Pastor Annika Klappert) and our administrative assistant (Marlena Muller) can continue their vital work, providing spiritual guidance, pastoral care, and administrative support that keeps our church running smoothly.

• Programs: Your donations fund educational programs for all ages to help us grow in our faith and understanding of the world around us.

In essence, your donations are the lifeblood of our church’s mission, enabling us to serve, support, and uplift our congregation and the surrounding community. So, we just want you to know how thankful we are for your generosity, which helps us make a meaningful difference in the lives of so many.

If you have any questions or need help making a donation, please email Kai Herrmann at [email protected]
