The synod office is open. No outside meetings are being held at this time.

Please call ahead if planning to come to the office, as we are practicing safety measures of masking and distancing.

PAY THE WEIGH FOR ALL TO EAT

FEEDING HUNGRY PEOPLE IN WESTERN IOWA - Now through November 30, 2021

God calls us to “feed the hungry”.
For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in - Matthew 25

Everyone!! Church council - ministry teams - women and men – young and old! Just for fun---
1) Weigh yourself, a group, include the dog or a neighbor or two
2) raise/contribute the amount of your total weight, or round up….WAY UP!
** It is not your weight, but a fun way to raise dollars and feed our neighbors.

The money will be equally divided between the 6 conferences in the synod to disperse to local food banks, food pantries, and community meals. You know the needs in your community!

Send checks payable to: Western Iowa Synod, 1614 W. 5th, Ste 2, Storm Lake, IA 50588 & designate "Pay the Weigh" in the memo line. You may also contribute online at https://www.wisynod.org/give.

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!
Working together we can feed hungry people in Western Iowa surpassing the 2020 total of $18,000.
