Good Shepherd Lutheran Church / Wednesday, October 28, 2020 / Categories: Publications, Daily Devotions Daily Devotion Our devotions written by Good Shepherd members will resume next week, but this week our daily devotions will take a different approach as we focus on Hunger in conjunction with our NEEDS food drive. Each day we will watch a short video from ELCA World Hunger that will help us gain a better understanding of the extend of poverty in our world, and ways that the ELCA is trying to improve the lives of those trapped in poverty. Today’s video takes us to an East Boston Soup Kitchen housed in a Lutheran Church. The ministry focuses help on single males, often addicts, who tend to be left out of other support programs.
