OSL serves the greater world as a part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA). Additional partnerships and support efforts include:

ELCA Disaster Response

Gifts to Lutheran Disaster Response equip us to respond to disasters whenever and wherever they strike.

The ELCA, through Lutheran Disaster Response, stands ready to walk with our neighbors in the Texas hill Country as the floodwaters recede and communities begin to navigate life on the other side of this horrific flood.  May we be bearers of the hope found in Christ alone and help shoulder the burden for those who grieve unimaginable loss.

Make your check payable to OSL with “disaster response” written in the memo line.

On-line donations can be made at LutheranDisasterResponse.

Together, as a church, we follow Christ’s call to share hope and healing with our neighbors in need.
