Saint Paul Lutheran Church: Outreach Projects

SUPPORT OUR LOCAL FOOD SHELF!

We designate the 3^rd Sunday of each month as Food Shelf Sunday, however, Food Shelf donations are always needed and accepted at any time throughout the year. You can bring your food donations to the church and we will see that they get delivered to the Food Shelf on a weekly basis. If you wish to write a check for a monetary donation, you can write the check to St. Paul Lutheran and mark it in the memo area for the food shelf. That way you will get credit for your donation on your St. Paul Lutheran giving statement. Thank you for your continued support of this important local outreach project. This month we are focusing out donations on juice, baked beans, shampoo, deodorant and monetary donations.
The Valley Outreach Food Shelf is open on Mondays from 10 a.m. to Noon and 6 - 8 p.m.; Wednesdays from 10 a.m. - Noon; Thursdays from 6 - 8 p.m.; and Fridays from 10 a.m. - Noon. It is located at 1911 Curve crest Boulevard West in Stillwater. For more information about the Valley Outreach Food Shelf you can call 651-351-3169 or go to www.valleyoutreachmn.org

PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY

Volunteers from our congregation that like to knit or crochet have been creating beautiful prayer shawls for parishioners that are homebound, seriously ill and those with other needs. For more information, click here . . .

OUR FAITH CHEST MINISTRY

For several years now, some of our Men's Club participants have been assembling "Faith Chests" that are presented to families of newly baptized members of our church as a sign of our congregation's love and deep belief in the centrality and "grace-full" significance of God's promise and claim made upon each of our lives by Jesus Christ.

HELP COLLECT CAMPBELL’S PRODUCT LABELS FOR EDUCATION AND GENERAL MILLS BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION

For 30 years Campbell’s has been donating money to schools for equipment through their Campbell’s Labels for Education program. For the past 12 years, General Mills has also been donating money to schools for equipment through their Box Tops for Education program. We would like to ask your help in collecting these labels to help schools get needed equipment. There is a “label collection box” in the upstairs hallway in the same area as the “Wellness Library”. You can place your Campbell UPC’s and your Box Tops for Education in this box. There are hand-outs available on the counter by the box that list the products, both from Campbell’s and from General Mills, that have these education labels on them. These sheets are also available in the church office. We appreciate your support of this project, as do the schools that receive the help! Thank you!
