Pastor Jonathan made it to work today! 19 miles on his bike as part of the Cycle of Welcome fundraising campaign!
— Edited
At the NC Synod's 2022 Gathering Bishop Tim Smith issued a challenge to the 197 congregations in our Synod that 70% would become involved in the work of Refugee Resettlement through Lutheran Services of the Carolinas. As a Fundraiser through Good Shepherd Lutheran Church for the LSC Be The Light Campaign to Resettle Refugees, Pastor Jonathan will be riding his bike to and from work Monday - Friday for the week of June 27th - July 1st. A one way trip is 19 miles multiplied by the 10 legs is 190 miles! Would you pledge to support the vital, Biblical work of welcoming refugees? If so, please prayerfully consider a per mile pledge (for example, .50 cents a mile comes out to a donation of $95). Or you can give a one time gift for the whole ride. Each day I’ll be sharing a brief Podcast Episode to talk about how the ride is going, why welcoming refugees is a part of our faith, and what Lutheran Services of the Carolinas and the NC Synod are doing to help. I’ll be joined by some fun guests along the way. You can make donations in the offering plate, by mailing them in, or by visiting www.gslcmtholly.org
