We encourage our family members to be active in community service and fellowship events sponsored by Grace Lutheran Church. These include ongoing participation in:
- Donations of non-perishable food delivered to the Community Food Pantry in Mohegan Lake. Each February we collect boxes of cereal during our “Super Cereal Bowl of Caring” campaign. This results in hundreds of boxes that are collected and then donated to our local community.
- Pen pal correspondence with KEMPS students in Bukoba, Tanzania; donations of school supplies
- Adopt-A-Road cleanups on Route 6 in the spring and fall
- “Cookies for College” baking and packing of cookie tins in May and December (just in time for college finals)
- Donations of bag lunches, clothing and toiletries for Midnight Run to serve NYC homeless
- Pot luck fellowship events
- Keeping in touch with members who may not be able to attend in-person worship services and activities.
Special fellowship events during the year may include Family Movie Nights, Boy Scout Sunday pancake breakfast (February), Rally Day games and activities to kick off new school year (September) and Harvest Breakfast (October). In December, we host a Christmas party at Grace, featuring a catered dinner, a visit from Santa Claus, story time with Pastor Chris, caroling and good fellowship.
