Lutherans honor Mennonite congregation

by Mennonite Mission Network

Print Article

SIOUX FALLS, S.D.—For a dozen years, a Sioux Falls congregation and Mennonite Voluntary Service (MVS) have provided workers for a local agency. This year, the agency offered its thanks.

Lutheran Social Services of South Dakota selected Sermon on the Mount Mennonite Church as its Distinguished Congregational Partner of the Year Jan. 24 at its staff and volunteer banquet.
The congregation has helped Lutheran Social Services ministries furnish and set up apartments for refugee families and supported these families as they settle into life in Sioux Falls.

For 12 years, Sermon on the Mount Mennonite Church has sponsored MVS participants who have worked alongside them in ministry. More than 20 of these participants have served with Lutheran Social Services’ Refugee and Immigration Center program.

Cheryl Lehmann, a member of the church and the local MVS unit coordinator, accepted the award for the congregation.—Mennonite Mission Network
