During Advent, we are collected money to donate to "God's Global Barnyard," and ELCA Good Gifts ministry that helps provide animals and education on their proper care to communities in need throughout the world. The Living Legacy Fund matched $500 of  donations from the congregation,which is the equivalent of donating money for 10 goats.

Monetary donations were also matched to $1500 and forwarded to ELCA World Hunger. The congregation was able to send a total of $4608 to ELCA World Hunger.

The Living Legacy Fund donated $1 for each item donated to the Churches of Marion Food Pantry through the Reverse Advent Project, up to $1500! The congregation donated over 1,500 items, so $1500 was given to the Food Pantry!
