Outreach

God’s Global Barnyard

How many chicks can we buy?????

That’s the question we want to answer on February 8, 2026!

It’s time for our annual Global Barnyard/ELCA Good Gifts collection! Help our Sunday School children purchase chicks. Purchasing chicks for a family in need is a great gift for that person who has everything–chicks are a great bargain at 10 chicks for $10.
