About two years ago the women of San Pedro Lutheran Church in Coronel began baking bread (with a beautiful wheat symbol on each loaf) that they would take door to door and would sell the bread to pay the utilities and buy dishes for the church. With funding from Indiana-Kentucky Synod congregations and I-K Synod Women of the ELCA in partnership with the I-K Global Mission Committee, the church was able to buy a used oven and bread roller. The bread is sold twice a week and the day we were there they sold 59 loaves (100 pounds of flour makes 75 loaves). In the evening, as we sat around the table, we enjoyed the bread. In the future they are hoping to raise enough money to purchase a professional bread mixer, which will allow them to expand their operations and continue to improve the lives of the people of the church and the surrounding community.
