NEED OF THE MONTH
Each month Gethsemane's Social Ministry team raises funds and collects much-needed goods for various partner organizations from Hopkins and around the world.
NOVEMBER NEED: LWR KITS & QUILTS
Our Quilt and Kit Ministry is one way Gethsemane members partner with our neighbors across the globe to make hundreds of quilts for disaster relief, and sew school bags, cloth diapers, blankets and more for international School, Personal Care, and Baby Care Kits for Lutheran World Relief. Please see the list below for items we are collecting. Please do not deviate from the list.
