St Paul Lutheran

This past week we have all read about the beatings and the other issues going on in the State Street neighborhood. This Saturday morning a diffferent story was to be found.

St. Paul Lutheran Church and Northgate Free Methodist Church came out and partnered with Care-A-Van Ministries to bring peace and joy to the neighborhood.

St Paul provided a delicious breakfast casserole for the folks, while the MOPS (Mother of Pre-Schoolers) Tuesday evening group provided games and activities for the children. 41 families with 120 family members received groceries from Care-A-Van this morning.

Care-A-Van Ministries visits this neighborhood the fourth Saturday of the month. St. Paul partners every time with the ministry on the monthly outings. St Paul Lutheran will be also be holding a neighborhood picnic in the parking lot this coming Wednesday evening as well.

Care-A-Van would like to thank these two churches and their volunteers for coming out and making a difference. There are many volunteers from different churches that are coming out now and volunteering for the weekly cookouts, street church, grocery distribution and morning ministry. If  you or  your church would like to get on board with blessing the community, you can call 343-0328.

Honoring the Troops on Treat Day

This past Saturday Morning Care-A-Van Ministries was on State Street for their weekly grocery distribution. Groceries were given to 52 families with 174 family members. It was one of our busiest days at this location.

St. Paul Lutheran Church partners with the ministry on the last Saturday of the month and always provides for the families as well. The church held Trunk or Treat for the kids. While the moms and dads were busy getting groceries and prayers, the kids were busy getting treats from the trunks of the cars.  A special thanks to St. Paul Lutheran for an awesome morning on State Street!

What a beautiful Mermaid!
