Passion at HLC

ELCA is running a contest:

Did you get a chance to see one of the ELCA's television ads? Over the past few months, they aired on national cable channels and local networks. I'm delighted to report that we received many positive responses from people all across the country.

Each ad featured a ministry of this church and the ELCA's new tagline: "God's work. Our hands." But these are just two stories, and this church is filled with thousands more.

Now it's your turn. How is God at work in this world through your congregation?

Do you run a local soup kitchen or a food pantry? Do you have a youth group that mows lawns and fixes neighborhood park benches? Do you have a women’s circle that knits prayer shawls?

What is your congregation doing today to minister in
your community?

Tell us about a ministry that excites you. Use your creativity to tell a story that inspires you—a story that will inspire

So with the help of Ed's pictures, I found our service outreach of Trick or Treat for others to Eat was a great ministry to highlight. Plus it is uniquely Holmen Lutheran wrapping in our Mission Statement and a song I wrote to it several years ago. "Where your heart is" I captured Tim and Paula singing it at a Christmas program and went back to add the mandolin and banjo.

Enjoy our little commercial...Comment and watch multiple times, it's part of how the contest works.
