The church made up 400 baggies of hot chocolate mix to hand out and included a prayer with each. We gave out 360 baggies in two hours. We also served cups of hot chocolate, which was very popular.

2021 RLC Community Service Pictures

​We now Have a Book Sharing Box (Focus on Youth Books) and a Food Box at RLC to Serve Our Community

Two members of RLC who are also Boy Scouts chose RLC and the surrounding community for their Eagle Scout projects in 2021. Our most recent addition (Dec) is a book sharing box on our property. The focus is sharing books for young people in the surrounding area.

​In June 2021, our first box was installed: a food sharing box, where people who need food can select items from the box. Donated food items are always appreciated.

Flowers for Residents of Gran Grans in Yukon, May

Picture
Happy Spring!!

This morning I had the pleasure of delivering "Happy Spring" blessings to Gran Gran's Place on behalf of Resurrection Lutheran Church for our May Community Outreach. 

We gave them five dozen roses--red and white roses for each of the 42 residents as well as 18 mixed-colored roses for the front desk.

Each resident also received a new box of 48 Crayons and a lovely coloring sheet with a Bible verse. Each month going forward, we will deliver another Bible verse coloring sheet for the residents.

Please pray that these gifts will lift their spirits and remind them that they're a beloved part of our community and not forgotten. 

If you'd like to help with the cost of these gifts and future community blessings please add a little to your regular giving and specify the amount to be posted to OUTREACH.

BLESSINGS ON YOUR DAY!
Katherine Dawson, Vice President of Outreach
