Missions at Gethsemane
Treat Baskets for Essential Workers
Our neighborhood front-line heroes have been “adopted” by Gethsemane!
We want to show them how much they are appreciated.
How you can help with this project:
- Write a thank you note for our community heroes, and label the envelope "GLC Preschool," “Firefighters,” “Teachers,” “Health Heroes” or “Constables” so we’ll know which basket to put it in. We will deliver baskets each month to show our appreciation.
- Shop for items for the baskets. Examples include: Microwavable, individual-sized foods, like mac & cheese, tuna-to-go, nuts, dried fruit, fancy tea bags, granola bars, as well as some fun snacks like candy bars and chips, would be great. Desk items, things to relax with at home, like cozy socks and bath salts would be great for teachers and hospital staff. You can drop these donations off at church.
- If shopping isn’t your thing, you can send a check to the church office. Just be sure you mark it as a donation specifically for Missions, for the “Basket Project.”

School Kits and Quilts for Lutheran World Relief
Every year members at Gethsemane create school kits and quilts that are donated to Lutheran World Relief. We pray that God blesses each item and protects these products that are sent worldwide to help people. We also pray that the recipients are blessed by these gifts.
Collect Pop Tabs for the Ronald McDonald House
Collect the aluminum pop tabs from soda and soup cans to help support our local Ronald McDonald House. Drop them off in the church office or in the jar located in the Narthex to donate.
