My wife, daughters and myself are actually members of St. Matthews Lutheran (WELS) in Spokane, but nevertheless, we participated in your $20 Project, which we thought was a great idea.
One of the many things I do is run an Animaland (same a Build-A-Bear) event program through the schools in Reno, Sparks, and Carson City, Nevada. I set aside the $20 for the purchase of skins and outfits at my cost to use with the schools that I work with in Nevada.
After I ran the designated event (which was actually in Susanville, CA) that I had set aside the $20 for, I took all of that profit as well as the original $20 and donated it to the Spokane Crisis Shelter. My wife also dropped off a women's study bible, a teen bible, and a children's bible at the shelter.
We felt blessed to be a part of the Redeemer $20 Project even though we are (WELS). Maybe our two synods no longer fellowship, but we are all still brothers and sisters in Christ.
My family has chosen to worship with you this Christmas Eve.
Merry Christmas,
