LSI Migrant Services assist them in rebuilding their lives by providing essential household\, hygiene\, and personal care items\, along with culturally appropriate food.   A major financial burden for migrants is securing legal representation. For one unaccompanied minor\, legal services for a visa cost $4\,500\, and a visa for a victim of trafficking is $5\,000-$6\,000.  DMIEC donations will go towards the areas of greatest need for migrants served by LSI. \nFor more information on LSI’s Immigrant and Refugee Community Services\, visit https://lsiowa.org/ircs/. \nWrite checks either to “DMIEC” with “First Sunday” in the memo line or to “”LSI.” Checks should be placed in the September 14th Collection Basket or mailed to DMIEC\, P.O. Box 30065\, Des Moines\, IA 50310 \nFirst Sunday checks must be received by DMIEC by September 20th; if you elect to contribute to the First Sunday recipient after that date\, please mail your check (made payable to LSI with “DMIEC” in the memo line) directly to Lutheran Services in Iowa\, 3125 Cottage Grove\, Des Moines\, IA 50311. \n  URL:https://www.dmiec.org/event/first-sunday-collection-2/ LOCATION:Zoom Event\, United States CATEGORIES:Social Justice,Stewardship END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250908T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250908T193000 DTSTAMP:20260412T144024 CREATED:20250901T161905Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250901T161905Z UID:20752-1757354400-1757359800@www.dmiec.org SUMMARY:DMIEC Community Council Meeting - In Person DESCRIPTION:DMIEC’s Community Council meets monthly.

Flora goes to work changing the lives of everyone—and the farm itself–for the better. Creating order out of chaos\, she fills their lives with light and laughter—and love. This comedy is full of charm and clever satire. Also starring Joanna Lumley\, Rufus Sewell\, Ian McKellen and Dame Eileen Atkins. Bring a snack\, a friend and/or beverage to share.  Contact Robin Kline or Lars Peterson with any questions.
