Hands Across South Dakota 

A Great Big Thank You!  It is the day before Thanksgiving and I find myself very thankful for the many congregations and individuals who gave of their time and of their means this past year to assist those struggling with drought conditions.  Your gifts of grain, hay, straw, money, food and so much more made a great deal of difference in the lives of folk struggling to keep animals alive, pay bills and see doctors.  South Dakotans truly helped other South Dakotans through the Hands Across South Dakota program.  It is truly amazing what we accomplished working together.

 

In the following note you will see what we were able to accomplish and how we were able to help.  Thank you!  Thank you!

 

The drought isn't over.  Please consider continuing your generous gifts of life.  If you cannot give of your substance, please pray for those who are in continued need around our state.

 

Dr. Peter Funch, Executive Presbyter

Presbytery of SD
