Calvary Lutheran Church Raising Money To Send Teen To Niagara On Mission Trip

Last updated on Tuesday, January 26, 2016

(BEDFORD) - Calvary Lutheran Church is raising funds to send teenager Joanna Schnarr on a mission trip to Niagara in June.

The mission trip is sponsored by the Indiana Lutheran Womens Missionary League (LWML).

Virginia Turner has donated two Turner Dolls and the church has donated a baby quilt and other item that are on display at Magic Morning Bakery.

On Valentine's Day, they will raffle the whole package to one lucky person.

Tickets are on sale now at Magic Morning Bakery, Crowder's Pharmacy, and Calvary Lutheran Preschool.

Linda DeVore, is also going on the mission trip.

The mission trip is dubbed, "Indiana LWML (Lutheran Women's Missionary League) Mission Trip." is coordinated with MOST Ministries.

"The team will spend 7 days in Nicaragua, and on 5 of those days the team will work in an eyeglass clinic," DeVore wrote in an email. "The team will be trained to help fit and distribute reconditioned eyeglasses to local residents. It is my understanding that there will be doctors there to tell us what prescription each person needs. There is also a witnessing component, as someone from the team will speak about the Gospel with those who are receiving the eyeglasses."

Tickets for the raffle are 3 for $5 or $2 per ticket.
