Monthly Ministry Partners

June 2023 Monthly Ministry Partner ~ Seafarers International House

Our monthly ministry partner for June is Seafarers International House! An ELCA-affiliated mission dedicated to providing assistance and welcome to seafarers, immigrants and asylum seekers, SIH operates within ports along the Eastern Seaboard. Founded 150 years ago by the Augustana Lutheran Church to provide aid to Swedish mariners, SIH’s mission has expanded to provide in-port chaplaincy care, social work assistance, land transportation and shelter for any who find themselves “on the way.”

For those who voyage and work on the world’s oceans, isolation is often the greatest threat. SIH is one way the church can provide a listening ear and a hand of friendship to our siblings at sea.

You can give to our monthly ministry partners through RebelGive or by check. In order to help with record keeping, we ask that ALL checks be made out to Calvary Lutheran, with the name of the mission partner on the memo line or by having the “Second Offering Monthly Partner” option selected on RebelGive.
