The items shown here include five fair-trade items — candle
holder, bread warmer and basket, prayer cloths, silk scarf, and
glass vase — and a
pin custom-designed for Women of the ELCA by
Designs by Lucinda.
Proceeds from sale of the pins will benefit the Women of the
ELCA
grant program.
These hand-made gifts were created by global artisan groups
for Women of the ELCA in cooperation with Lutheran World
Relief and A Greater Gift, partners in the LWR Handcraft
Project. This effort supports families and strengthens
communities all over the world in places like Guatemala,
India, the Philippines, and Bangladesh. Thank you for your
support.
Stop by the Augsburg Fortress store in The Dwelling Place,
the Sixth Triennial Gathering exhibit hall, to purchase your
gifts. These items will also be available through Augsburg Fortress following the gathering. Find out more about the fair-trade project and many
more Lutheran-inspired efforts by visiting Lutheran World
Relief. Continue your support of fair-trade shopping by visiting
A Greater Gift.
