Social Ministries
At First Lutheran, our Social Ministry Committee is charged with connecting us with opportunities to serve. If you’d like more information about one of these opportunities, please contact the church office; if you don’t see what you’re looking for, let us know as well!
Some examples of opportunities to serve are:
- Meal on Wheels delivers meals for our community members who have difficulty shopping and preparing meals. Our congregation leads this twice per year.
- Loaves and Fishes (Esther’s Kitchen) provides several free meals throughout the week. We help cook and serve the meal. It is a fun place to meet people and join them for a meal.
- Our Angel Tree is an annual Christmas fundraiser, benefitting our missionary overseas. In exchange for a monetary donation, you receive an angel ornament.
- Stuff the Bus is a community project to collect school supplies for children in the community. We set up collection containers for the supply collection and deliver them to the organizing group.
- Pack the Pews collects food in March for the local food shelf as part FoodShare Minnesota. Food is also collected and delivered to the food shelf throughout the year.
We’d love to connect you with any of these opportunities, and to hear your ideas, as well!
