SERVING AT OUR SHEPHERD

WHY SHOULD YOU SERVE?

We believe that one of the ways to become More Like Jesus is to serve. We also believe that one of the ways to grow deeper in your relationship with others involves not only serving others, but serving others together.

Below you will find several ways that you can get involved in serving opportunities. If you don't find a specific area that you feel gifted to serve in, let us know and we will do our best to connect you.

Opportunities to Serve

Family of God (FOG)

Family of God in Christ Ministries, INC. (FOG), is an LC-MS church located in southwest Detroit that serves their community by serving evening meals and providing Bible study Sunday through Friday. Our Shepherd Lutheran Church serves Family of God by providing hot and nutritious meals to 100 – 120 individuals once every month. To execute this once a month meal ministry requires volunteers to purchase the food, prepare the meal at Our Shepherd, and transport the food for serving at Family of God.

Funeral Luncheons

Our Shepherd Lutheran Church offers a unique meal ministry that offers fellowship meals following funeral services. Assisting with the Funeral Luncheon Ministry might include providing a dish to pass at the post-service fellowship meal or assisting with set-up, serving, and/or clean-up. Assisting with set-up, serving, and/or clean-up is primarily a daytime activity; however, side dishes may often be made in advance delivered to the church kitchen the day before the meal.
