Although the physical event has been cancelled, our goal is to continue the gathering of support and the working together of the Lutheran churches in a new way – with a virtual Strawberry Festival! Instead of joining together in the kitchen and halls of Christ Lutheran Church, we will join from our homes to enjoy a YouTube video made up of entertainment provided by some of our members. As we watch these shared gifts we will also ask for donations towards our goal of the $3,000 typically raised at the Festival and information on how to donate will be provided.
The Virtual Strawberry Festival will be posted to our YouTube channel on July 15 and we will invite you on that day to have a bowl of strawberries and watch our video. When we can we will also share the video with the seniors in long-term care who are missing the worship services and visits provided by the Pastoral Care program.
HELP WANTED – Send Us Your Video!
To achieve our goals, we need you to contribute to our Virtual Strawberry Festival. If we receive two video submissions from each of our member churches, we will have enough to create one 45-minute entertainment spectacular! We are asking for musical contributions (hymns, other faith-based, or secular) or other short pieces (such as a poem recital) that reflect our theme of “Celebrating and Thanking our Elders.”
If you or anyone you know would like to contribute or would like to learn more, contact LCCC’s Pastoral Care Supervisor Pastor Ed Long at [email protected] or 628-6915 by June 24th. The deadline to submit videos is July 6th.
Thank you for your contributions in advance! We can’t wait to work with you and to see what you talented folks create!
