Helping to serve our community and world
Each month the CLC Mission Basket is designated for a specific purpose. The offerings are designated for a specific local or world-wide charity.

Showers of Blessing
A mobile hygiene ministry
...Showers of Blessings is a Isla Vista, California based mobile hygiene ministry which offers showers to those of a critically low income. We help people with fresh clothing and getting themselves clean.
Why is this ministry needed?
At Showers of Blessing our goal is to provide both the clean clothing and the chance to keep up with and maintain personal hygiene. In doing this we are hopeful of helping them gain the stability to get employment and housing.

Prayer Tree
Support and love always
"In everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God"
-Phillipians 4:6
When we pray we open a connection with God. Jesus promised his disciples (that’s us!) "Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you."
"I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God; it changes me."
-C. S. Lewis
Prayer requests to be shared within the prayer tree may be sent to Karen Tapphorn at ktapphorn@cox.net or the office at office@christlutherangoleta.org.
May the peace of God be with you.
