This ministry is an ongoing group that gets together to make meals in Faith's kitchen. They take some meals home for their families and then leave a couple in the freezer for pastoral care.
Why school supplies? The backpack ministry means the difference between getting an education or not where Lutheran World Relief missionaries are located in needed countries. In a typical year, Faith members fill close to 200 backpacks with school supplies.
Take home an empty backpack and fill it with:
4 (70 sheet notebooks), 1 - 12inch ruler, 1 pencil sharpener, 1 blunt scissors, 5 black or blue ballpoint pens, 5 unsharpened #2 pencils, 1 box 16 or 24 crayons, and 1 - 2.5 inch eraser. This ministry is done in August and September of each year and the filled backpack is brought back to Faith church.
Home bound members receive visits/phone calls from members of the congregation and from pastors on a regular basis. We share in prayer and communion. If you would like to become part of the visitation team please contact one of the Pastors. Or if you would like a visit please give us a call.
