Serving Others

We share God's love by serving others...everywhere, everyday, locally and globally, because that is what Jesus invites us to do.   

We share God's love through
Love In the Name of Christ of DeKalb/Sycamore, by collecting food for and working at the DeKalb Food Pantry, growing fresh produce for area food pantires and shelters in The Giving Garden, delivering Meals on Wheels to shut-ins, preparing meals for Hope Haven, a homeless shelter, and for Lutheran Campus Ministry at NIU, building homes through Habitat for Humanity, making quilts for people who need them locally and globally through Lutheran World Relief, selling Equal Exchange coffee, tea and chocolate, sending short term missionaries and supporting long term missionaries in Ketumbeine Parish in Tanzania, Africa, and the School of the Saints in Guatemala, and providing financial support to countless ministries and relief projects in the United States and around the world through our giving to the Northern Illinois Synod and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

  Meal Outreach Ministry
Most of us do not know what it's like to be really hungry, not have enough to eat or money to buy healthy food. Yet it is a reality for many people around the world and for some people in our own backyard. As children of God, we are called and empowered to feed the hungry, love the poor, seek justice for those who have no voice, and pray for all in need.
Feed 'em Soup Community Project Feed 'em Soup Community Project
We partner with the Feed 'em Soup Community Project by inviting the hungry to a meal at First Lutheran on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month from 5-7PM.  Read more at www.feedemsoup.org
