Service Ministries

Food Pantry

Ever passed a person on the street who looks like they could use a decent meal? The Albany Park Food Pantry provides monthly meals for families and individuals in need. What you can do:

• Donate food to the food pantry--staples like pasta, canned meat and veggies. Boxes are located at the narthex--when you enter the church.
• Walk for Hunger Relief--every June. Your feet make a difference!

Eucharistic Ministers

Train to visit shut-in members in their homes, bringing the sacrament of the Lord's table from the midst of the assembly.

Equal exchange-Lutheran World Relief Coffee Project

"Equal Exchange is like drinking a cup of justice--and justice can taste outstanding." This project helps small coffee farmers receive a fair wage for their coffee, avoiding the large coffee brokers. Purchase your coffee for home brewing after worship at the coffee hour.

Lutheran Advocacy Network

Want to see big changes happen? Let your voice be heard!
Contact Dieter Schulte for more information.

Prayer Partners - Prayer Chain

Pray for those on our prayer page, and volunteer to be a part of the prayer chain. We also meet at LMC at 2 p.m. on Saturday for a special prayer service. Contact Briana Sprague for more information.
