Social ministry opportunities
|
Please keep your eyes, ears and hearts open to the many, many opportunities
to serve our sisters and brothers in Christ, here in our community and
around the globe.
- We prepare and serve supper at Central Iowa Shelter & Services
(formerly known as Churches United) on the 18th & 19th of every month.
Recipes are provided by the sign-up sheets in the narthex just in case
you're not accustomed to quantity cooking! (Last month the residents gave
our St. John's crew a standing ovation after the meal, proclaiming it
worthy of a 5-star rating!)
- We serve a meal for Homeless Youth Outreach the second Thursday of
every month. Cathy Talcott cooks, but more servers are needed. The sign-up
sheet is also in the narthex.
- Watch for the opportunity to provide Christmas gifts for the families
of people who are incarcerated through the Angel Tree project. A Christmas
tree with tags describing gifts needed will be up after Thanksgiving...
And mittens & hats for children & adults in our community are needed for
the Mitten Tree Project. These are distributed to a number of helping
agencies and some local schools.
- And monetary gifts to the World Hunger Appeal of the ELCA and/or
Lutheran World Relief help feed, clothe, educate and provide health care
to brothers and sisters around the globe.
