God's Work Our Hands 2024:
Next Sunday, Spetember 8, 2024
Our congregation, along with Grace, St. Paul's, and St. Timothy's Lutheran Churches, will join together to serve the community for God's Work Our Hands on Sunday, September 8th. After worship service, instead of a potluck lunch, we're asking participants to bring a brown bag lunch. We'll eat in Fellowship hall before the activities.
In addition to doing service projects, we will collect donations of items for four important local service efforts:
1. Interfaith Action of Evanston collects and distributes necessary items that are not eligible for purchase with federal benefits. Especially needed are:
Soap Shampoo Other toiletries
2. Grace Lutheran Little Free Pantry is stocked with nonperishable food items donated by members of the congregation and neighbors. Needed are:

3. Connections for the Homeless is the leading agency in the northern suburbs delivering essential services to people facing homelessness and housing insecurity. They need: Aft
