ELCA Good Gifts
From Pastor Jon
Hurricane Irma
As I write this on Tuesday afternoon, some of
our parishioners are having trees removed from
their yards, or from up against houses, but I
have not heard of any injuries or worse. Many
households outside of Clemson, and a few
within, are without power. But when we see the
scenes of devastation from the Caribbean,
Cuba, the Keys and throughout parts of Florida
and along the Georgia and South Carolina
Coast we can count ourselves as lucky or
fortunate.
As I wrote two weeks ago about Hurricane
Harvey, Lutheran Disaster Response is an
excellent ministry to support
http://www.elca.org/Our-Work/Relief-and-
Development/Lutheran-Disaster-Response
Another link I discovered will allow you to give
online and earmark your donation for either
Hurricane Harvey or Irma.
https://community.elca.org/hurricane-relief
These donations will be routed to people who
are closest to those directly affected and can
assess the most effective use of the funds.
As we assist one another locally, please
consider a special gift to those who were
dramatically impacted that they may receive the
food, shelter and care that they need.
God’s peace & hope,
Pastor Jon

Dear Women of University Lutheran Church Words cannot express how thankful we are for your donation of children’s OR Caps. The patients, families and staff have enjoyed the new hats! The staff enjoy giving them out and seeing the big smiles on the children’s faces. We love the adorable child friendly fabric too! We appreciate the time and patience you have put into each cap. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Blessings Erin Shaffer, CCLS Specialist Pre-op Child Life

GODS WORK OUR HANDS Making 12 table decorations for Our Daily Bread
Thank you to all the hands who helped with our service projects.
Thanks to all the Quilters and their supporters
for their labors in creating 31 quilts for Lutheran
World Relief. To see the sanctuary chairs
adorned with these practical works of art and
love really accentuated the message of “God’s
work, Our Hands”. Thank you for using your
gifts and talents in this way to love our neighbor.

Gifts to Tanzania
Peter Mkumbo has returned from Tanzania. He
was able to put to good use the gifts we sent
with him. The school responsible for his
education was able to build a new bathroom.
When his home congregation heard about that
project, he was also able to build a bathroom
there. Included is a water tank for washing.
Here are a few photos. More will be posted.
A Novel Bunch Our September novel selection is Songs of Willow Frost by Jamie Ford. We will meet on Thursday, September 21st at noon in the Cry Room near the Sanctuary. Come join us! Songs of Willow Frost takes place in depression-era Seattle. It is the sad and hopeful interplay of young orphaned Chinese boy, William Eng, in search of his very probable mother, who goes by the stage name of Willow Frost.

Mission Statement
University Lutheran is a family of faith, called by the Holy Spirit to be one ministry serving both our community
and university. The Spirit calls us to make known, by word and deed, the story of God’s love in Jesus. Our

God’s creation and created ones.
