SUNDAY MINISTRY MINUTES Summer CV Committee Temple Talks
How many committees are there at CV? Who is working behind the scenes to make all of the ministries and programs happen, and keep the staff and the property going? How can you get involved?
These are some of the questions we will address this summer with CV Committee Temple Talks. Throughout the summer, the many committees of the church will give a short Temple Talk during worship about what they do, why they do ministry, and how people can get involved. There will be hand-outs, maybe some treats, and a time to ask questions and get to know about who and how the ministries of the church happen.

Food Shelf Items of the Month
Food shelf items for the month of June are canned fruit, juices, raisins and apple sauce. Remember the number of hungry families in our community is on the rise. Let’s see if we can all add one of these items to our cart on our next trip to the grocery store. Every donation counts!

Great News! We’re Expecting Babies in Tanzania!
The Social Ministries Committee is proud to announce we’re not only expecting one baby, but many, to be born to our Sisters in Tanzania. We’d like to serve the women of Tanzania in a special way — by providing much needed supplies to them and their newborns.
We need your help to create Midwife Kits for distribution in village areas where 70 percent of women deliver their babies at home using a midwife. By supplying midwife kits, Christus Victor helps to reduce the risk of infection by 50 percent to mothers and newborns. Unsanitary birthing conditions contribute to the 940 deaths per 100,000 live births annually in Tanzania.
Through your help and donations, we can vastly improve the lives of the community where incidence of infection are high without adequate and accessible supplies. We have the power to make a profound and lasting difference through the generous ongoing support of our congregation.
Donations Most Needed This Year:
Bath Towels
Receiving Blankets
2-1/2 gallon Ziploc Bags (available at Target)
Bath Size Ivory Soap
Even if you can’t donate one of these items, there is a way for you to help! Help us assemble midwife kits on Saturday, May 8 in the Fellowship Hall.

Baskets of Love Update & Thank You!
The 2010 Baskets of Love auction on Sunday, March 21 raised nearly $3,800 and we are still counting our blessings!
For four years, the Mission Committee has asked for basket donations and we have asked that you come to Baskets of Love and bid on these amazing creations — AND YOU HAVE!
Here’s what we accomplished:
* The women of Mlowa who weave these baskets will receive $10 per basket to fund their ministry in Mlowa.
* The Mlowa parish will receive an additional gift of money to help them weather the famine and ensure they have food to last until the next harvest.
* The Mission Fund will receive funds to help our Ambassadors journey from Christus Victor to Tanzania in August 2010. Our 2010 ambassadors are Pastor Kent Claussen Gubrud, Barb Damlo, Malisa Kreutzmann and Paula Nierengarten.
NEW in 2011:Baskets of Love will raise funds for Kids Alive in the Dominican Republic AND send a Mission Team there in March 2011. For more information about the 2011 Mission Trip, contact Jody McDermott-Baty.
