Please donate to assist local students
Pencils For Pupils

The members of Gift Of Grace Lutheran Church would like to invite you to join us in supporting Fernley Elementary School with much needed school supplies.  All funds raised will be matched by LEAN (Lutheran Advocacy Ministry in Nevada), and supplies will be purchased at a discounted rate to extend purchase power of the funds raised even further.

From the LEAN web site: "schools do not provide all the supplies needed for classroom work, and that parents are expected to fill these needs. For a family struggling to pay the rent or buy necessities, this can be a real barrier to their children’s education. As we go into the spring semester, budgets for supplies, both at home and at school, are often exhausted. The donations that often come in for the fall are not repeated for spring."

Please help us give our educators what they need to teach as effectively as possible as they endeavor to help at risk students prepare for their future.
God, there is a reason You tell us to have faith like that of a child. They are bursting with curiosity and full of love. Protect their innocence and preserve the spark in their eyes from the darkness of the world. Let them be little lights to their parents and teachers. Allow them to grow and have a fair opportunity to learn. 

Grant our teachers an abundance of Your wisdom. Prepare their hearts to welcome and love our little ones, and may we make sure to show them love and respect in return. Give them grace as they help students who aren’t thriving, courage to say what needs to be said, tools and knowledge on how and when to speak love, and strength when they feel weak. When they feel unseen, remind them that no moment goes unnoticed. They are shaping the future in one million small - yet incredibly important - ways every day. Bless them, Lord, and may they see even just a glimpse of how their faithfulness will forever impact generations to come.

Amen.
