Flooded with Love
Record breaking flood waters threatened homes and communities in the Red River Valley in the spring of 2009. Faith Lutheran (West Fargo, ND) extended hands of appreciation to all city workers for their work above and beyond the call of duty during the flood.

Martin’s Lutheran Church – Casselton, ND
In the spring of 2009, the Red River flooded to historic levels. As the waters got higher, the congregation of Martin’s Lutheran Church rose to the challenge of transforming the church to a nursing home for 12 memory care patients who were displaced due to the flood.

Homeless and Hungry
In 2005, ten young people had an idea to help the homeless. They saw a need in their own back yard. Now, over 1000 people have participated in Homeless and Hungry, a movement that has taken a community by storm. This event is about THE CHURCH coming together to help “the least of these.”
