Recycling for Africa

About 10 years ago we at Truckee Lutheran Presbyterian Church began collecting California Redemption Value (CRV) recycling and using the proceeds to benefit Stand With Africa.  Who would have ever believed that the simple act of saving your water bottles or soda cans and bringing them to church could make a difference in the lives of hungry people around the globe in Africa? Well it’s happened again. TLPC’s CRV recycling, collected over $800 last year!  What we collect will be matched by Thrivent and will be culminated with a worship celebration and a party. With matching funds we will send $1,200 to programs to benefit Africa next summer. What a difference that amount of money makes! If you have any questions email or call Edie or Denny Lott at 530 582-5362 or thelotts@gmail.com.

WELCOME!

At TLPC we believe that God came to us in Jesus, who was both fully human and fully divine. Jesus lived among us, revealing the good news that God loves and saves us by grace. This promise was fulfilled through Jesus crucifixion and resurrection, bringing new life. By the gift of grace, received through faith,  We welcome all who are seeking God’s love and grace, regardless of race or culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or relationship status, including those with addictions, physical or mental health challenges.  As followers of Jesus we are transformed and set free to love and serve all others, just as God loves us.  As a faith community we are attempting to live out our Mission Statement  in our community and the world.
