Perhaps
it doesn’t take too much imagination to guess what these members are all about!
The purpose for the Community Care Team is to lead Immanuel into a greater
presence in the local community through a ministry of care and compassion. Some
of the projects undertaken in past years include the collection of school
supplies for students at a public school; Thanksgiving pies to the employees of
Olivette; participating in Habitat for Humanity; and support for Nurses for
Newborns. We have recently begun preparing and serving meals at the Sts. Peter
and Paul Shelter in Soulard on the 1st Mondays of the month.
Through
these and other such efforts, we are “letting our light shine” and hoping many
will come to see the face of Jesus. If you have a heart for mercy ministry and
would like to be a part of such service, please contact Suzanne Hough
(432-0195).
