​Our church supports Open M by: providing 4 grab & go lunches a year for 100 people, serving watermelon to 150 people at the picnic in July, purchasing Christmas gifts for 35+ children, providing 400 food items for the Christmas meal boxes for families and providing monthly donations of food for the pantry.

Prayer Shawls

​
​Prayer Shawls are handmade knitted, crocheted, or quilted shawls made by members of our congregation. The shawls are displayed on a quilt rack in the front of the sanctuary for our congregation to pray over the shawls. Our Visitation Pastor  delivers a shawl to someone during his home and hospital visits.  Congregation members can also take a shawl to a friend in need of prayers. Being wrapped in a shawl brings comfort to those in need when they cannot join us in church.
For more information, please contact Susan Hohs.

Street Ministry

The Street Ministry provides care packages, lunches, seasonal clothing, underwear, socks, t-shirts, bedding, towels and wash cloths, sleeping bags, and shoes to those in need. Items are distributed at St. Malachi Parish in Cleveland during their meal time. Many of the people are homeless; many are not, but all are in need.  or

The  Street Ministry meets the 3rd Saturday of every month at 9:00 a.m. in the church parking lot.
