Prior to the Covid-19 quarantine, our Social Ministry Team was hard at work throughout the year. Every person on the team had a heart for service! Some of the projects they tackled were the collections for the Grace Memorial for Mission, collection of non-perishable food items for Gethsemane Lutheran’s Food Pantry in Chalmette, collection of diapers and personal care items for the New Orleans Women’s and Children’s Shelter, environmental service at Lake Pontchartrain and Bayou St. John, and a ministry at Bethlehem Lutheran—the Community Meal. While the quarantine caused us to have to pause and regroup, we came back strong and have continued supporting the community in a big way.
