Saint Peter Lutheran Church in Greenwood Village was one of nearly 8,700 congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) with the opportunity to participate in an annual day of service — “God’s work. Our hands.” Across the country, thousands of ELCA members engaged in service work to make a positive change in their communities, build and deepen relationships, and serve God.
Saint Peter, you showed up! On Saturday 9/7 volunteers worked for Habitat For Humanity: Holy Hammers. On Sunday 9/8 folks headed downtown to serve lunch with Volunteers for America. Friends and family organized the StPLC music library for a new season of adding joyful song to worship. Others assembled snack bags and activity kits for Ronald McDonald House, tied blankets for the Linus Project, and decorated bags for Project Angel Heart.
Thank you for using your many gifts in the service of others.
We received this note from the volunteer office at Volunteers of America: "Thank you so much for your time, kindness, and hard work at the VOA Mission yesterday. I have worked with many groups, and I can truly say – you are the best ever! The 50 sack lunches, moving the supply closet, organizing the clothing room, and not only prepping and serving lunch, but really interacting with the clients. Honestly, you touched many hearts with your love and smiles, including mine. We would welcome you back with open arms anytime!" Keep the excitement and passion for doing God's work with our hands all year long!
