Caring Hands Kitchen                                                                                                                  
Messiah Lutheran has committed to staffing the Caring Hands Kitchen in Fullerton on the second Tuesday of each month.  This hot meal program, sponsored by First Lutheran Church, feeds nearly 100 people each Tuesday night in their church dining room. This important ministry allows us to open our hearts and to care for the hungry and homeless right in our own community.  
For Messiah’s night at the kitchen, we will need a team of 8–10 volunteers from 4:00 pm-7:00 pm to cook a preplanned meal, serve, and cleanup.  The menu, groceries, and instructions will be provided for you.  This is a great opportunity for individuals, organizations, or families to give back to those in need.  Open your heart, reach out, and make a difference.  For more details contact one of the following: Jenny Hazen 714-532-1208, Karen Morgan Jones 714-402-2644, or Laura Steinfeld 714-256-4131.

American Cancer Society - Relay for Life

We will have a representative on the track at all times during the event - because cancer never sleeps. This event raises money to help prevent cancer, save lives, and diminish suffering from the disease. Let’s all join together on the Messiah Lutheran/Got Faith? Team! Call Cheryl Berenguer at 714-345-1312 for more information.
