EMMANUEL DINING ROOM
The apostle Paul exhorts Timothy, a young church leader in Ephesus, to tell his congregation “to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others.”
On Sunday, July 27th, Concordia had the privilege of sharing with those in need of a hot meal by serving 210 hungry men, women and children of Wilmington at The Emmanuel Dining.
Thanks to all for your generous donations of casseroles and brownies and to Sharon and Cynthia Weaver for helping prepare and serve in the Dining Room.
Blessings to all, George and Dale
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.
OGT NEWS Updates - Go to the SERVICE tab at the top and click on Orphan Grain Train.
