A warm-hearted bridge for Layette Ministry

Over the years, the marriage of Mark and Sofia Johnson has been a blessing for Mark’s church (Gethsemane Lutheran) and Sofia’s church (Greek Orthodox). With mutual respect they have supported both ministries.

Sofia has become involved with the Gethsemane project of supplying layettes to overseas missions. She is also one of about 100 members of the Daughters of Penelope, a Greek heritage philanthropic group. Not church-related, the organization donates funds to various causes, such as food shelves and battered women’s shelters. Sofia approached them about making a modest gift to Gethsemane’s layette ministry, suggesting a $30 donation. Generously the Daughters responded with a gift of $100!
