Saved to Serve - Women of the ELCA

Instituted in 1998, the Saved to Serve opportunities are structured with three-fold emphasis:
  • Bible study (written especially for the event)
  • Work project that benefits one of the Nebraska Synod's Serving Arms
  • Opportunity to interact with other ages, cultures, or abilities.
Groups  of women have served American Indian communities, Thai residents of South Sioux City, varied cultures in the Omaha area, people with disabilities at Mosaic (formerly Bethphage and Martin Luther Homes), students at Campus Lutheran centers, and elderly residents of Tabitha Home. Wherever Saved to Serve projects have been planned, the recipients of the service and the women who have serve are equally joyful about the experience.

While in Grand Island, the Saved to Serve Women will be remodeling the home's kitchen, living and dining room and updating the screen porch. They will also be playing games and interacting with the home's residents as well as attending church together on Sunday morning.
