Outreach

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

September Green Envelope

Food4Friends is an original Morning Star ministry that provides a complete Thanksgiving dinner to the “working poor” families of the Omaha Metro area including families from Lutheran Family Services, the Westside Boys & Girls Club, and Table Grace Café. 


Morning Star is able to deliver around 150 delicious meals during a time that can be financially taxing to families struggling to make ends meet. We hope to raise several thousand dollars in the next few months to continue this beloved and necessary outreach event. Thank you for your help in making this a reality!

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.
