Serving Others

We share God's love by serving others...everywhere, everyday, locally and globally, because that is what Jesus invites us to do.

We share God's love through Love In the Name of Christ of DeKalb/Sycamore, by collecting food for and working at the DeKalb Food Pantry, growing fresh produce for area food pantires and shelters in The Giving Garden, delivering Meals on Wheels to shut-ins, preparing meals for Hope Haven, a homeless shelter, and for Lutheran Campus Ministry at NIU, building homes through Habitat for Humanity, making quilts for people who need them locally and globally through Lutheran World Relief, selling Equal Exchange coffee, tea and chocolate, sending short term missionaries and supporting long term missionaries in Ketumbeine Parish in Tanzania, Africa, and the School of the Saints in Guatemala, and providing financial support to countless ministries and relief projects in the United States and around the world through our giving to the Northern Illinois Synod and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

	Love In the Name of Christ We're a partner congregation with Love INC of DeKalb/Sycamore, an organization of 32 churches working together to better meet the needs of people seeking help
	Meal Outreach Ministry Most of us do not know what it's like to be really hungry, not have enough to eat or money to buy healthy food. Yet it is a reality for many people around the world and for some people in our own backyard. As children of God, we are called and empowered to feed the hungry, love the poor, seek justice for those who have no voice, and pray for all in need.
	Feed 'em Soup Community Project We partner with the Feed 'em Soup Community Project by inviting the hungry to a meal at First Lutheran on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month from 5-7PM. Read more at www.feedemsoup.org
	Crop Walk Our Hunger Stompers team helped feed the hungry by walking in the Crop Walk Sunday October 17 and raising over $1,600!
	Feed My Starving Children We make a real difference in the lives of starving children by packing meals at Feed My Starving Children events.
	The Giving Garden Sharing God's love by growing fresh produce for the hungry
	Equal Exchange Equal Exchange coffee, tea and chocolate are 'Fair Trade' goods, creating stronger local communities, a more just food system and a healthier planet.
	Guatemala Mission Trip 2011 We support the mission of Journeys of Hope in Guatemala by helping to build the School of the Saints and supporting a medical clinic for the poor.
	Stubbs Family Missionaries in Tanzania The Stubbs family is in our fourth year serving as missionaries with the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) doing leadership development, capacity building, and evangelism through the new music department at Makumira University College in Tanzania, East Africa.
