And the winner of the 40-40-40 Lenten Challenge is…

As part of the Lenten Challenge between the Southeastern Iowa and Grand Canyon Synods, more than 200 individuals from over 70 congregations pledged to participate in daily devotions, daily decluttering, daily wellness activities, or a donation of a dollar or more a day for ELCA World Hunger. Individuals raised nearly $7,000 for anti-hunger efforts through ELCA World Hunger. Thank you!

Ultimately, the Grand Canyon synod won the challenge with more than 120 participants. A trophy, along with a video message from Southeastern Iowa’s Bishop Amy Current, will be awarded during the Grand Canyon Synod Assembly.

Thanks to all who participated, gave money, created resources, advertised the challenge, and cheered others on.  Click here to give to ELCA World Hunger online.
