Overflowing with Coins: Overflowing with Gratitude

By -


"The picture doesn't do justice to the amount of coins that came in last week, but it was the only picture that [Ms Kim] took." The grand total was $1796.84 for the coin war. With the additional chapel offering on Friday that students brought in, a grand total of $1845.46 was raised in one week! A huge thank you to our students and our parents for donating all these coins. 

Where is all this money going? Great question! Our synod is working on an initiative to start 100 home mission churches in the next 10 years. Emanuel has chosen to specifically support the mission that was approved just outside of Wausau, WI, in Kronenwetter. Our chapel mission offerings for the entire school year, along with our spirit week coin war coins go toward supporting the start-up of that congregation.
