Sunday of Serving

Coming Together to Impact Our Community

On the last Sunday of every month, the entire congregation is invited to participate in an intergenerational Sunday of Serving. We gather to build community within All Saints and to share our blessings with the wider community surrounding All Saints.

FEBRUARY 2023 SERVING

Starting in February, we will have a rotation of kits we will make for our ministry partner, Lutheran World Relief. The kits we will be making are the personal care kits, baby care kits, and school kits. In February, we will make personal care kits. However, donations for any of the kits can be dropped off at any time. Find a list of items used for each kit here.

NOVEMBER & DECEMBER 2022 SERVING

As many know, All Saints has two amazing partnerships during the week. The All Saints half-day Preschool and full-day Childcare programs serve many families and young kids in our neighborhood. For our November and December Sundays of Serving, we served the teachers and staff in those programs.

Throughout the month on November, members picked up a wish list item from the tree, purchased it, and brought it back. Then in December, we wrapped the gifts and gave them to the teachers and staff for Christmas.

OCTOBER 2022 SERVING

If you’ve ever been in the hospital for a long period of time, you know that it is not a fun experience. Minnesota Children’s hospital does its best to make the hospital a little less scary for kids that need it. One way they do that is by collecting donations of toys and other items that kids can play with while in the hospital.

October’s Sunday of Serving we collected and packed items to donate to Children’s Minnesota. See their wish list on their website here or on Amazon here, if you wish to donate directly to them. They cannot accept any used items, all items must be new.

SEPTEMBER 2022 SERVING

As the weather started to cool down, many of us were thinking about our winter gear. For our Sunday of Serving in September, we collected warm winter gear for Resource West. Below are the items they are looking for in various sizes if you still wish to donate.
  • New or Clean, Gently Used Coats
  • New Winter Hats
  • New Waterproof Gloves and Mittens

JUNE 2022 SERVING

More than 20 birthday bags were filled for ICA clients  with donated cake mix, frosting and candles. Thank you to everyone who donated and helped pack the birthday bags. Everyone deserves to have cake on their birthday! 

MAY 2022 SERVING

For the May Sunday of Serving, All Saints members cleaned out the church gardens. 

APRIL 2022 SERVING

Volunteers picked up trash around All Saints. Participants were encouraged to take a garbage bag on their next walk and see how much trash can be picked up along the way. How are you going to care for God’s creation? 

MARCH 2022 SERVING

Participants decorated planters and added grass seed to create Easter gifts for residents at The Glenn. 

FEBRUARY 2022 SERVING

Donated necessities from congregation members provided enough items to pack 35 kits to give to people experiencing homelessness.
