Many thanks to everyone who donated to our August Food Drive. We support the Food Pantry year round, so feel free to drop off an extra bag of groceries anytime! Our next big food drive will be part of the Souper Bowl of Caring--February 14, 2027.

Big thanks to Pastor Amanda and the entire Emmanuel Lutheran Church for hosting a month-long food drive for the Pantry which resulted in 360lbs of food donations. Because of their hard work and generosity, our shelves are stocked and ready to serve local families this fall.

Community supporting community - that’s what it’s all about! 🧡

Hello everyone,

We have an opening for sponsoring Altar Flowers on September 20th. Flower sponsors can submit a dedication to be printed in the bulletin that day, select the flowers of choice (colors, etc), and take the flowers home to enjoy after the service. Our florist will mail you an invoice (generally about $54). Let our Flower Coordinator - Elaine Gebhardt - know if you would like to take this open slot by replying in the comments below. Many thanks to all who help support this part of our worship service.
