OPERATION INASMUCH
Sharing God’s Love
April 21, 2012
Project List & Sign-Up Form
“Then the King will say to those on His right hand,
‘Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of
the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food;
I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a
stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you
clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in
prison and you came to me.” Then the righteous
will answer Him, saying ‘Lord, when did we see
You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You
drink? When did we see You a stranger and take
you in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we
see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’”
“‘And the King will answer and say to them,
‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to
one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to
Me.’” Matthew 25:32-41
On Saturday, April 21st, Lutherans
statewide will participate in our 4th
annual community service day Operation Inasmuch.
The day is
intended to encourage Lutherans of all
ages to engage in service to others in our
own communities.
This spring’s
Operation Inasmuch promises to be one
of the biggest days for all Lutheran
Churches across South Carolina. There
are over 20 churches from our
Heartland Conference footprint that
will be participating this year!
Please prayerfully consider sharing the
gift of your time.
This year, each volunteer will report to
an area church for breakfast and a brief
time of worship. A Closing Celebration

of Sunday, April 22nd. Look for more
