POSTAGE STAMPS FOR BETHEL

Periodically ACTION for LSSM reminds you that they are collecting canceled postage stamps. Especially at this time of year we remind you to save the stamps from the Christmas/Holiday cards you receive. But have you ever wondered why, what happens to the stamps as they cannot be reused. Well here’s the story.... For many years, the women of the church have collected used postage stamps to send to Bielefeld, Germany. There, in the village of Bethel, handicapped and retarded people process these stamps to be sold to stamp dealers all over the world. This village supports itself and cares for these people by this effort. This is a worthwhile project supported by the Lutheran Church.

When you remove stamps from envelopes, leave at least 1/4” or more around each stamp. As always, leave your stamps on the LSSM Sewing table at the back of the fellowship hall. Thank you for your kindness and generosity for sharing in this very worthy project. Wishing you all a very blessed Christmas! ~ACTION for LSSM Sewing Group
