During the 2020 pandemic, the Faith Corders have continued to make paracord bracelets from home. This Sunday, November 8th, these paracord bracelets will be blessed by Pastor Crowe and sent to Operation Gratitude. Operation Gratitude tells us “Your group is amazing and appreciated. Thank you for creating more bracelets. We are always in need!” Faith’s Paracord Ministry still needs your help! To date, in 2020, we have made 5,214 bracelets but we need to still make more.

In celebration of the upcoming Veterans Day, please consider helping us make these bracelets as a way of honoring our troops. We invite friends and family to join us as we continue this mission. We hopefully will meet in person again in 2021.

Ways you can help: We need hands to cut the 1,000 foot paracord roll in 90 inch lengths and then burn the ends. We need hands to make the bracelets, prepare the boxes for shipping, and take the boxes to the Post Office for shipment. We also need donors to help with the cost of the paracord roll $55.49 and the shipping per box $21.10. We can accept cash or checks made to order of “Faith Corders” and brought to the church office.

On Wednesday, September 23rd a small group of families and high school students gathered in the Activity Center at Faith Lutheran Church to learn how to make paracord bracelets as part of our support of Operation Gratitude. Led by Faith Corder Neil Christiansen, a group of 12 people learned, not only how to make the paracord bracelets, but also about how these hand-made bracelets are just a small part of a huge blessing to show gratitude and support to US Servicemen and Women all over the world. While we only made a small handful of bracelets that Wednesday evening, families took cording supplies home and worked through the week, bringing bags and bags of completed bracelets back to Faith. It has been an incredible way for God to use members of this congregation to serve their neighbor from home, and to make a difference in the life of someone they will likely never meet. – Austin Angerman
