There are many opportunities to become involved with Grace Lutheran Church and its various ministries.

Serve

Maybe you would like to participate in the worship service by serving as a greeter, usher or communion assistant. Or perhaps you would prefer to serve by doing such things as visiting shut-ins, baking communion bread, helping with mailings, or preparing food for special meals.

Those with unique abilities and skills are welcomed too. We encourage you to share your gifts for teaching, playing musical instruments, sewing, doing arts and crafts, helping with construction/building, etc. with Grace and its members.

Please contact the church office at tripolilutherans@gmail.com or call us at 319-882-3579 for ways where you can serve the church and others in the area.

Outreach

 

There are many needs beyond the church walls that Grace and its members support. A few of these are:

• Providing free food for the community through the newly-built Little Food Pantry located alongside the southwest door of the church building.
• Collecting grocery items each month for the Helping Hands food bank in Oran.
• Participating in God’s Work, Our Hands Sunday doing service work in the Tripoli community.
• Providing cleaning supplies and assistance to families who have experienced flooding in their homes through the Northeast Iowa Synod’s Disaster Relief program.

Watch for ways to contribute to efforts like these when announced on the church calendar, in the monthly newsletter, the Sunday bulletin, and Grace in Tripoli Facebook page.

Missions

We also welcome your support of our various mission projects. Some of our ongoing efforts include:

• Sewing and tying mission quilts for Lutheran World Relief.
• Working with the Sunday School children to help others through the ELCA’s Good Gifts program.
• Collecting school supplies for school kits and hygiene items for personal care kits for Lutheran World Relief.
