Operation Barnabas Atlantic, IA Chapter

Operation Barnabas Atlantic, IA Chapter Officers are: Commander: Richard D. Kanning, S1/S6: Jeannie Hansen, S4/Chaplain: Reverand Davidson Often times, they feel very alone.

Since 9/11, the nation has called upon our military reservists in numbers unknown since World War II. And our reservists and their families have responded, serving their nation with honor and determination. The Churches of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) would like to help. The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod is the second largest Lutheran church body in the United States. For more inform

ation, click here. Operation Barnabas consists of two initiatives: The first initiative is to help congregations whose pastors are recalled to active duty as chaplains. The LCMS has over 100 reserve chaplains who serve congregations, and many of those pastors have been recalled to active duty. Operation Barnabas works with these congregations to create a deployment plan that cares for the deploying pastor, his family, and the congregation. Each District has an Operation Barnabas Counselor to lead this effort. The second initiative is to help all military families during deployment, especially those families who live far from military services. Our congregations are uniquely positioned to be able to assist with anything from child care to assistance with meals, and someone to listen. Many of our members either currently serve in the Armed Forces, or are veterans. Not every congregation will offer the same services. Each one is unique, with its own unique resources of talent and personnel.

An update for locations this week and beginning of next week. As you can see by the picture, we have a whole bunch of meat. We’re smoking today and tomorrow for Catering all day Saturday we have two of them. And then the beginning of the week we will be down as Sunday I am leaving to go to Utah to pick up a new smoker. This one should be much more reliable and help us continue our quest for amazing barbecue.
