Children’s Offering Buys Well

Through the children of our Sheridan community, 2014 VBS offering and the noisy offering of the summer and fall has funded one clean water well in a developing country through Lutheran World Relief. We are thankful for the generosity of our Sheridan children and their families so an entire community will have access to water!

Our noisy offering continues each week to help to fund needs at Nuru School. Sheridan members and friends generously funded the building of the Nuru School by giving $40,000 during the Advent Conspiracy in 2010. Even though the school building is built, there is still much development work that could be done.

A Sheridan member and retired teacher, Judy Sorensen, was able to visit the Nuru School in July. During her visit she witnessed two classrooms that did not have desks and chairs for the children to sit and write their lessons. Imagine going to school and completing writing assignments with no desks to work. Despite the lack of desks and chairs, Nuru School has placed at the top in their region of the exam scores this last year.

All contributions to the noisy offering during worship will go towards the goal of $2,500 for these desks. The needed desks and chairs are made in a nearby town.
