Community Service and Outreach is an integral part of Lutheran Church of the Palms core values and mission. It is the way we live out our faith in daily life. We strive to follow the example of humble service in Jesus Christ. From 5th Sunday loose change offerings that go to support local community service organizations and ministries to our annual Give Away day where anyone can come and get what they need, to quilts that provide warmth and shelter for many around the world, collecting and packing lunches for our community neighbors in need, backpacks and school supplies for our community children in need, collections for Lutheran World Relief, World Hunger and disasters in other countries. We are constantly working to spread God's Love to meet the ever-increasing needs of people near and far. Check out our outreach and social ministry programs and get involved! Generosity is a hallmark of our congregational community. Generosity that includes ,time, talents, physical labor and financial donations. You will be able to find many ways to contribute.
In the Spotlight
Thanks to our Vision to Action Grant and Metropolitan Ministries we have already begun with our first community meal. We are asking for your support by being present to share our meal together and o spread the word to friends, neighbors, strangers- anyone you meet tht might need a little help stretching their budget or anyone looking to connect and learn more about their neighbors and community. The goal of the program is not only to feed bodies but to feed our spirits and build meaningful bridges and connections with people, other organizations and with our community. We have a wonderful opportunity to gather and learn from one another and see how we can best bring support and grow connections, conversation and action within our local community. Come and share in the excitement and joy of building bridges!
Here is just a partial list of our many service projects and outreach ministries. There is a place for you to pitch in and make a difference. All donations of help are graciously and joyously welcomed.
