We celebrated with a resident of LaGrave on First who’s expecting a baby boy later in June. Augustana Lutheran Church hosted a baby shower June 8 and members of both Augustana and Family of God brought gifts.

We originally thought we’d buy a stroller, but so did several other people! We were able to return our stroller and buy lots of basic items (nursing pads, milk freezer bags, crib sheets, a boppy pillow, pacifiers) as well as books, toys and adorable little outfits and totes for storage.

It was fun to be a part of planning for this special time in a resident’s life and to help LaGrave on First transition from adults-only to family housing. Many thanks to all those who gave additional gifts to welcome this new child of God!
