Opportunities To Support Trip To Romania

​West  Linn  Lutheran  Church  (20390  Willamette  Drive,  West  Linn)  invites  you  to  “Heart  to  Heart”,  a  joyous  Pentecost  event  of  music  and  fellowship  on  Sunday,  May  20th.  The  WLLC  Choir  will  be  sharing  the  “Missa  brevis  Sancti”  by  Joseph  Haydn  in  the  8:15  am  and  10:45  am  worship  services.  The  choir  will  be  joined  by  a  small  orchestra  in  the  second  service.  This  piece  is  known  to  stir  hearts  in  a  mystical  way,  and  the  choir  is  eager  to  share  it  with  the  community.    WLLC’s  worship  and  Holy  Communion  are  open  to  all  people.Starting  at  9:00  am,  guests  to  the  church  can  browse  and  bid  at  a  silent  auction,  buy  homemade  baked  goods  and  healthy  plants,  and  discover  a  wine  rafflewall,  all  while  enjoying  a  continental  breakfast.  Proceeds  from  these  activities  will  support  a  mission  team  traveling  to  Romania  in  July.  The  team  of  9  youth  (middle  school  through  college)  and  12  adults  will  be  doing  service  at  a  Hungarian  Lutheran  church  in  Sacele,  and  a  Habitat  for  Humanity  build  in  Buftea.  That  build  will  be  helping  complete  a  community  center  serving  low-income  families.  To  learn  more  about  the  church  and  the  trip,  visit  www.wllc.org. Questions  can  be  addressed  to  wllcoffice@wllc.org or  503-656-0110.  
Arch of Envelopes
There are 23 travelers going to Romania next summer to visit our companion congregation and to work with Habitat for Humanity.  We are raising funds to accomplish this trip. Our fundraising goal is to pay for the 10 youth and 3 chaperones. This fundraiser is an "Arch of Envelopes" in the front hallway! It's our version of Romania's Arch de Triumphant. Theirs is built from wood. So is ours. Each envelope has a monetary amount written on it. The amounts start at $1 and ends at $200. If every envelope is taken it will pay for a majority of our Habitat build fees. Please take an envelope: any amount helps. Grab one at random and see what you are called to give! Or look them over and intentionally take an amount- perhaps one that challenges you to give generously! We appreciate your support of this congregational ministry!

BUFTEA ROMANIA

We have chosen a location for our Thrivent Build/Habitat mission trip to Romania in July/August of 2018.  Buftea Romania. We will give you more information about this site as it becomes available.  Register for this event by clicking the Register Here button above.

Visiting our Partner in Sacele!

The first part of our trip will connect us with our partners of 15 years in Sacele - with Pastor Lazlo and his community.  Those who have currently expressed interest are excited about this component as we seek to further our relationship through face to face, people to people contact.

Thrivent Builds Worldwide!

Make a powerful impact in the lives of families and communities worldwide by helping where it is needed the most. Develop lifelong relationships and experience new and beautiful cultures from around the world all while building houses – and strength, stability and self-reliance.

Poverty housing and substandard living conditions expand beyond the United States. Families and communities across the world experience the hardships of not having a safe, decent place to call home.

From the deserts of Africa to the rain forest of Vietnam, or the mountains of Montana to the tropical beauty of Hawaii in the United States, Thrivent Builds Worldwide can take you on a journey of truly living generously.
​
No special skills are required. All that's needed is a generous heart, a positive spirit and a genuine desire to make a difference.

Wider Scope

We see this service project in partnership with our friends in Sacele Romania and Habitat for Humanity as a part of our mission statement to serve all people.  In serving all people we feel it is important to meet them where they are and to enter into their story.  This cross-cultural, cross-religious connection serves to further our deeper connection as fellow human beings.
