Jail Ministry ~ Now that the church is open for services each Sunday, books and magazines for the Milwaukee County Jail can be brought in any Sunday. The container for the donated books and magazines is in the narthex by the wall under the television. Remember, only paperback books are acceptable. Also, if you can remove any address labels and staples from the magazines that will be greatly appreciated.
The Cathedral Center at St. John’s Cathedral in downtown Milwaukee provides shelter on an ongoing basis for about 55 homeless women and children. About once a month, a group of volunteers from Our Lord’s meet at church at 6:00 p.m. to drive downtown and return to church by 8:30 p.m. The volunteers serve a meal to the women and children and prepare lunches for the next day. If you can help by donating a main dish, salad, dessert, and beverages, please contact Church office for volunteer sign-up.
The Gathering The Gathering is in need of volunteers to help prepare and package meals for the homeless and hungry. It is a very safe volunteer opportunity as masks are required and social distancing is observed. The volunteers do not interact with the guests as they pick up their to-go meals at the door, given out by The Gathering Coordinator. The Ascension Lutheran Church meal site at 1236 S. Layton Blvd. has available shifts on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30-6:00 p.m., and Saturday lunch shifts from 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. We can go as a group or anyone can sign up at their website to volunteer individually.
