Outreach Ministry Team
The purpose of the Outreach Team is to lead and enable the congregation to serve God and God's people in our community within and beyond our family of faith by sharing our beliefs, talents and resources.

- Provides food and serves two Saturday meals at the Children's Memorial Lutheran Church Soup Kitchen.
- Monthly food drive for the Johnson County Human Services & Aging Food Pantry, which serves our immediate community.
- Coordinates Meals-on-Wheels deliveries, which are vital to our elderly community.

- A special offering for the children of the Oaks Indian Center to assist with basic needs of children living at the center.
- Gathers and delivers gifts received from our Annual Christmas in September for MLM Christmas Store.
