Youth from Village Lutheran Church took part in a mission project during March to give back during the season of Lent. The youth group led by Village Lutheran Church’s Associate Pastor Scott Geminn, collected supplies to create Personal Care Kits. The kits were then shipped to Lutheran World Relief and distributed to those in need around the world.
Over the past few weeks, church members and school families have donated specific items requested by Lutheran World Relief for the Personal Care Kits. These items include dark colored bath towels, 4-5 oz. bars of soap, adult toothbrushes, adult sturdy combs, and nail clippers. These simple gifts improve the standard of living for people around the world. Families at home assembled these kits as a way to show their Christian love for others around the world.
Fifty three kits were collected during the timeframe of the Mission Project. “This was a great mission project for the youth,” stated Rev. Geminn. “They were able to shop with their families for the supplies, and personally create the kits.”
The Village Lutheran Church Youth Program is about “Building our Future!” The VLC Youth Group welcomes all Voyager (3rd –6th Grade), Lifer (7th –8th grade) and Crusader (9th -12th grade) Youth and their focus is three-fold: explore faith, serve others, and have fun.
Village Lutheran Church & The Chapel School are located at 172 White Plains Road in Bronxville. More information is also available at the church’s website www.VLC-NY.ORG or the Lutheran World Relief website at www.lwr.org.
