Ministries

Christ Church serves the ill, aged, underprivileged, and persons in need in many ways throughout the year.

• College Student/Military Support – “Stress” boxes, filled with snacks donated by members, are sent to our college students and members in the military in the fall.  During spring, gift cards are sent, provided by our congregational members.
• Funeral Dinners – This committee plans and serves meals following funerals.
• Red Cross Community Disaster Relief – If there is a local natural disaster, our church building would be available to those who need a place to stay until further accommodations can be arranged.
• Shut-In Ministry – The ministry to our shut-ins include monthly visits from Pastor John or Pastor Amy.  Altar flowers are often delivered on these visits.  There are also Valentine’s Day gifts delivery annually and Christmas Caroling each December.
• World Hunger Advocacy – World Hunger Appeal needs are conveyed to the congregation through this ministry as needed.  Monthly envelopes are available.

Monday Morning Quilters

Our dedicated quilters meet Monday mornings at 9:00 am.  Many of the quilts created are donated to Lutheran World Relief, local charities and fire victims.  Material donations are graciously accepted.  New members welcome!
