2012 Monday Night Meals
Monday Night Meals is an opportunity
to serve our community. We provide
food and serve a meal at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church to various families
from the neighborhood. Each date we
are partnered with another group who does the clean up portion of the
evening. In general the evening begins
at 4:15 p.m. and wraps up about 6:30 p.m.
If you have any questions please feel free to call or email Kelly
Miller at (262) 939-6043 or cmiller205@wi.rr.com.

2012 HALO Meals
HALO is a community sponsored
facility that provides not only a place for homeless people to sleep, but
also life skills to move forward with their lives. Many of us at Covenant have been helping
with a meal once a month; five months out of twelve. As a church we also provide a meal five
months out of twelve for the community meal program at Our Savior’s Lutheran
Church.
We show up at the Men’s Side
at HALO, mix up some really good corn bread, and get the rest of the meal
ready. Church members provide the
world famous HALO Ham Casserole.
Organizer Debbie Boice, who serves on the Mission Outreach Committee,
puts out the pans with a recipe for church members to pick up at church, take
home and cook. Then they deliver the
fully-cooked, warm casserole to the HALO center at 2000 DeKoven Avenue in
Racine.
Without the help from generous
members this program wouldn’t be a viable ministry for us. It takes all of us to make this as
successful as it has been—including the offerings given to help pay for
additional food which supplements the meal.
The men at HALO are always so grateful to see us. They really enjoy our meal. Grab a pan and make it a great day.

2012 Habitat for Humanity
Another year is approaching for
our church to volunteer for Habitat.
If anyone is interested in volunteering, please email Chris Miller at
cmiller5043@gmail.com. Habitat is a
great organization that allows people to work towards a house and get
favorable financing to be able to afford it.
Our church helps finish the houses so the families can move in as soon
as they are completed.

The
Mission Outreach Committee has collection baskets in the Providence Room in
order to collect items on an ongoing basis for the FOOD PANTRY, GOODLAND
SCHOOL, and TEENAGE FOSTER CARE. We
appreciate your generosity and look forward to working together to share
with others in need. Thank
you.
Food Pantry
We have been contributing to the Food Pantry at
Our Savior’s Lutheran Church for many years. Non-perishable, protein rich foods are
best.
We
always need peanut butter, jelly, pasta meals, cereals, juices, puddings,
canned fruit, tuna, etc. Also needed are personal hygiene products such
as toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, soaps, deodorant and sanitary
products.
We
encourage you to bring food every Second Sunday when we have our Second
Sunday Coffees following the worship services. If you forget to bring food on Sunday,
you can drop it off during the week—Office Hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:00
p.m.—or buy it at the Children’s Food Bank Store.
