In February our local benevolence goes to support the work of Open Door Ministries, which is a Lutheran ministry which provides non-judgmental support of gay and lesbian persons and their families and loved ones.  They bring the compassion of Christ and His Church to persons affected by HIV/AIDS.  The Open Door Ministries Annual Meeting will be held on February 28^th at 3:00 pm at Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church in Seattle.  Thank you for your support of this ministry.
