Service Opportunities
Have you heard the word "Glocal"? Combining outreach both locally and globally, our Outreach and Service Committees combine their efforts to serve. This is glocal. The Service Committee plans and provides opportunities for the members and friends of this congregation to serve one another and our greater community, provide resources to connect those in need with local service organizations, and educate ourselves and our community regarding advocacy for peace and justice.

Blessing Bags Do you often pass homeless individuals on the street corner on your route to work or other activities? Do you feel drawn to want to help? Gift them with a Blessing Bag; a ziploc filled with goodies. Our Mustard Seed: 3rd - 5th grade aged Sunday School and Youth Group help us to keep Blessing Bags filled for the taking and giving! Find the box near the entry of the church. Take a bag or two to keep in your car and share when coming across someone in need. If you would like to assist this project by providing items for the bags see the list HERE for ideas and drop items off in the church office. Questions? contact Pastor Margot
God's Work, Our Hands - JOIN US annually, occurs the Sunday following Labor Day.
"God's work. Our hands." Sunday is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the ELCA- one church, freed in
Christ to serve and love our neighbor. Annually, we have service opportunities in worship, between worship services and after worship. Often doing yard work at the home of someone who is homebound. Please consider bringing your work gloves, and your garden tools to help make the life of someone in our community better as together we Love + Serve + Grow. This is a WE journey.
