Lake Grove School
The church supports Lake Grove school with donations of back packs and school supplies before the beginning of the school year. We also provide volunteers to assist with the hearing and sight tests for the students. And in the fall, we support Lake Grove's' book drive by donating monies so students can purchase their own books.
Hallmark Manor Nursing Facility
On the third Thursday of each month, we visit Hallmark Manor and provide Holy Eucharist to the residents.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
The prayer shawl knitters/crocheters meet on Wednesday evenings at 8:00p.m. in the library. There are also several folks who knit or crochet the shawls at home and bless us with them.. These shaawls are given to people recovering from illness or surgery so they know the love of God is keeping them in his warm embrace.
