I'm really loving this picture! On the Sunday after Easter, we practiced resurrection as we compiled 100 Personal Care Kits for Lutheran World Relief. Each kit had a towel, bar of soap, comb, toothbrush, and nail clipper to be shared with people around the world who have been devasted by a war, natural disaster, or crisis. Together we Nurture with Love, Serve with Hope!
