Hurricane Sandy Recovery

Superstorm Sandy impacted our state (and much of the eastern seaboard and Caribbean) on October 29, 2012.   It will take years to rebuild.

As Lutheran Christians, we are committed to serving alongside our neighbors, listening to the experiences of those who were directly impacted by the storm, and walking together “Along the Way” to recovery for the long-haul. Please go to our blog Along The Way for resources, stories, and pictures. 

 

In addition, we are partnering with Lutheran Social Ministries of New Jersey (LSMNJ) to continue supporting individuals, families, and communities still reeling after this storm.  To keep connected to LSMNJ, click here for Facebook, Google+, and Instagram.

“Our synod office is located on land which is part of the traditional territory of the Lenni-Lenape, called “Lenapehoking.” The Lenape People lived in harmony with one another upon this territory for thousands of years. During the colonial era and early federal period, many were removed west and north, but some also remain among the continuing historical tribal communities of the region: The Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation; the Ramapough Lenape Nation; and the Powhatan Renape Nation, The Nanticoke of Millsboro Delaware, and the Lenape of Cheswold Delaware. We acknowledge the Lenni-Lenape as the original people of this land and their continuing relationship with their territory. In our acknowledgment of the continued presence of Lenape people in their homeland, we affirm the aspiration of the great Lenape Chief Tamanend, that there be harmony between the indigenous people of this land and the descendants of the immigrants to this land, “as long as the rivers and creeks flow, and the sun, moon, and stars shine.”
