Kirchgemeinde Gehlsdorf


Parish Gehlsorf
The Protestant church parish St Michael’s in Gehlsdorf has had a stable partnership with the welfare centre ‘SANDORA’ (Lithuanian -COMMUNITY) of the Protestant church in Šilutė which used to be called Heydekrug in the Memel Territory of Lithuania.
Sandora has ten volunteers who look after the needs of children and families in the town and the administrative area of Šilutė. Regardless of belief and ethnicity, people are helped exclusively according to their needs as far as the material resources allow. The Gehlsdorf group have transported more than 50 lorry loads of clothing, furniture, household articles, school equipment, equipment for invalids as well as food and hospital requirements to Šilutė since 1992.
