✛SERVICE✛
As a Recognized Service Organization of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, Orphan Grain Train is a Christian volunteer network that sends donated clothing, shoes, medical and other needed items to people in need. We meet Wednesdays 10:00 a.m.– 2:30 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m.–1:30 p.m. to sort and pack donations for shipping. Our location is the warehouse next to the Dansko outlet: 8 Federal Rd, West Grove, PA, 19390. Read all about OGT on the bulletin board by the library, or visit our webpage for hours of operation, the latest updates, and to review the full list of materials our recipients need most. Donated items may be placed in the closet in All Saints' Hall (to the right as you enter the room). Hard to imagine how exciting it is for those who receive our 'throw aways / I don't need this anymore' possessions – we are so blessed! If you have questions please contact Tom Fuesler or Carla Niesen.

Emmanuel Dining Room: Today is our Day at EDR Olivia and Rachael Wyckoff are serving with George!
Faithful Servants,
In the gospel of John (6:51), Jesus says, “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.”
While preparing the casseroles and brownies, we encourage you to pray that while we are feeding hungry bodies at EDR, Jesus is feeding their hungry souls. We know Jesus gives help not just for this life but hope for the next.
On Thursday, March 27th, Concordia Lutheran Church and Preschool had the privilege of sharing God’s love by feeding 202 hungry men, women, and children of Wilmington.
A special thanks to all the casserole cooks, brownie bakers, and to Trudy Fletcher and Kathee Butler - prayer warriors all - for serving at the Dining Room this month. In Christ, George and Dale Recipe
Meals on Wheels - Serving our community meals during the last full week of each month (April 28 - May 2, 2025). The time commitment is usually 1 1/2 hrs. (11:00 AM - 12:30 PM).
