Reaching out to Share Christ's Light
We are very active in our mission to serve as Christ served. We partner with several local, national, and world organizations to serve those in need. If you don't find a project that interests you, share your ideas with the Outreach Committee.
" I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty, and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me. "
Matthew 25:35
July Green Envelope
In light of the terrible storms this past spring, our Green Envelope offering this month will go to the Nebraska Synod Lutheran Disaster Response. Lutheran Disaster Response shares God's hope, healing and renewal with people whose lives have been disrupted by disasters. Some key areas of work include:
· Giving emotional & spiritual care for people who have been affected by disaster
· Coordinating volunteers through local affiliates
· Assisting refugees in a holistic way by meeting the varied needs of the community
· Promoting disaster risk-reduction by helping communities build their assets to reduce the effects of disasters
· Providing long-term recovery efforts by addressing the unmet needs months or even years after a disaster strikes

Food for Friends
Food For Friends started about 20 years ago by a member of Morning Star, Bob Donovan, who saw a need to feed his "working poor" brothers and sisters a Thanksgiving meal. These were individuals, some he knew and some he didn't know, who worked hard every day but never seemed to earn enough around the Holidays to have those special meals. A Green Envelope offering started with the first few years seeing approximately 50 families with Thanksgiving meals delivered by Morning Star volunteers.
