The ladies of Grace Lutheran Church in Vine Grove recently assembled 43 Personal Care Kits for Lutheran World Relief.  Each kit contains a toothbrush, two bars of soap, a set of nail clippers, and a comb wrapped in a towel.  The kits are shared with people around the world who have lost everything.  In the wake of an earthquake, or having fled from violence as their homes were overtaken, the kits are given to provide initial simple comfort that comes with an opportunity to wash, be refreshed, and start anew.

Faith Apostolic Church in Elizabethtown recently congratulated members for completing the B.R.E.A.D. (Bible Reading Enhances Any Day) Program. The program is designed to help someone to read the entire bible in one year. Their reward was a certificate, gift card and dinner at Ryan’s Steakhouse.

The youth at Stephensburg UMC have adopted seven soldiers that are from the surrounding area. Two youth members, Kevin Sprinkle and Sydney Ray, have written letters and packed boxes for the soldiers. They have already sent a box of care packages to the soldiers and expect their arrival in time for Thanksgiving. The youth are packing care packages for the next mailing in November, so the troops can get their packages in time for Christmas.

The largest traveling display of relics in the world will be at St. Christopher Church in Radcliff at 7 p.m., Aug. 2.

There will be approximately 150 relics including those of St. Maria Goretti, St. Therese of Lisieux (the “Little Flower”). St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Faustina Kowaiska. The supreme highlight is one of the largest certified relics of the True Cross in the world, and a piece of the Veil of Our Lady.
