Caring Ministries
“What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8
Each of the worship services at St. Philip Lutheran end with the words, “Go in peace. Serve the Lord.” The congregation responds, “Thanks be to God!” We take these words to heart as we send people out into the world to serve. Jesus calls us to a faith that is active in love. The opportunities to live out our faith are as varied as the lives of our people.
Here are some specific ways St. Philip is reaching out locally as a community of faith:
Dipes and Wipes Diaper Ministry
Once a month a small team of volunteers work together to distribute free diapers and baby wipes to families in need. We partner with Love INC (Love In the Name of Christ) for folks who qualify. While guests come to receive their diapers, they also receive relationships through our prayer partners, fresh baked pastries, hot coffee, and a fun play area with childcare. To learn more about Love INC, go to Home | Love Inc. Littleton (loveinclittleton.org)
College Outreach
A team of volunteers mail care packages to college students every Fall and Spring prior to
finals. Paper pennants are displayed in the church narthex highlighting the snacks needed and the congregation generously supplies all the needed snacks for the roughly 50 college students. The boxes contain approximately 15 individual snacks, along with notes from the team lead and Pastor Brad. Students may be undergraduate, post graduate or attending trade school. Each month personal Birthday cards are also sent from the Ministry Team and the Pastor. In the Spring we recognize all the college graduates with a card and through our church online newsletter.
