Within our walls …

We regularly collect egg cartons to be given to the farmers at the local  North Union Farmer’s Market as a way of supporting local food and recycling. We invite everyone to join us by dropping off your cartons at church. Now we are collecting yarn and unused Christmas cards as well, to be used with prison inmates through Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry.

We gather new winter gear items for distribution on a Wall of Love at Lomond Elementary School. This provides warm hats, mittens, gloves, and scarves to children who need them – meaning they will be able to go outside for recess safely.

We buy and donate items for Wish Lists (household supplies and Holiday Gifts) for Family Promise of Greater Cleveland, an organization that provides families facing the crisis of homelessness with a safe place designed to engage, inspire, and guide them toward a future where they feel empowered to control the course of their lives.

Little Free Pantry Blessing

On Sunday, Aug.  17, together with Plymouth Church we dedicated our new Little Free Pantry with a special service of blessing. We are grateful to provide access to non-perishable food and personal care items for those who need it. Our LFP sees many visitors daily, so donations of non-perishable food and personal care items are always needed. Popular items are hearty soups, shelf-stable protein/dairy, cereals/oatmeal, pasta/grains, canned fruits/vegetables, baby food, and personal care items. Donations are welcomed daily – feel free to bring something by anytime you are near the church.
