FOOD PANTRY During this difficult economic time, many people within our community are in need. Our Hispanic congregation has an ongoing food pantry to meet this need in the name of Christ. Please consider helping them by donating non-perishable food. You can drop items off by the "Hispanic Ministries Pantry" cabinet in the church basement by the elevator.
PADS Public Action to Delivery Shelter (PADS), an organization staffed by volunteers from churches throughout Lake County, provides meals, a warm place to sleep, counseling, and other services for homeless people.
If you would like to contribute food or help prepare meals for PADS, please contact Vicki Herrick. Volunteers are also needed to help with shifts at a local shelter 1 night a month from October to April. If you would like more information on that, please contact Colin Michaelis.

Nursery Volunteers We invite you to donate one hour per month in our nursery ministry. See the Volunteer pages under Children's Ministries for open slots. This is a great opportunity to serve young families of our church body. We also need volunteers for 1 hour/month to help our teachers in the 2 and 3 year old classes.

MOPS "Mothers of Preschoolers" meet the first and third Fridays of the month from September through May. Workers are needed to care for their children. Many moms that attend have no church home. With additional workers, two Fridays/month, our MOPS program can also open its doors to moms that have been on a waiting list. Please contact Beth Gehring, if you are interested or want more information. MOPS may be the path to introducing LEFC as a church home for some of these families.
