We have had 7 letters written to our elected officials for the Bread for the World Offering of Letters Campaign. If you have written letters, please let the office (info@ulctempe.org or 480-967-3543) know by April 30, 2022.

Each year, Bread for the World selects a specific topic as it encourages each of us to send handwritten letters to our elected officials as a part of a its collective Christian voice urging elected officials to end hunger at home and abroad.

If you need assistance with your letters, read here for information to help you or you will find helpful information and suggestions for your letters at bread.org/write-congress–and check into www.bread.org regularly for updates! Thank you!

We now have shade screens to provide shade for our outdoor events. An anonymous donor provided funds for the shades and supplies. Lynn Becker sewed and installed them. Thank you!

The Finance and Stewardship Committee is hosting a BBQ this Sunday (4/24/2022) after the 10:30 am service. All food and drink has been donated by committee members. So wear your University Lutheran t-shirt* and join the fun. There is also a little surprise for everyone.

*If you don’t have a t-shirt yet, you can get one at the BBQ. Thank you!

We’re suggesting you bypass the usual offering plate at our Sunday service and send your letters directly to your members of Congress as you write to urge them to support increased funding for global nutrition. You’ll recall that this year’s emphasis selected by Bread for the World is on prevention of child malnutrition. In our letters, we are urging them to make permanent the refundable tax credit expansion and reauthorizing child nutrition programs. If you didn’t get the bulletin insert at church, you can read it here or you will find helpful information and suggestions for your letters at bread.org/write-congress–and check into www.bread.org regularly for updates!

Bread is interested in the number of letters sent, so we’ d appreciate you letting the church office (info@ulctempe.org or 480-967-3543) know the number of letters you sent, and to whom. Thanks for taking action, and giving your information to the office by the end of April!
