Current Church Volunteer Needs
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN 2023 —
Every three years we make a specific appeal to our Building Fund that allows us to meet our mortgage payments and to complete a number of capital improvements to our property and grounds. The mission and ministries of Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit are dependent on the financial support and personal involvement of our dedicated members.
As we recommit to another three-year plan, we need your help to make this appeal a successful one. Please sign up for one of the teams or leadership positions.
EASTER SUNDAY BREAKFAST—
A special tradition at Holy Spirit is the gathering of the community for breakfast between services on Easter morning. You are invited to join us from 9:30-10:30 a.m. It’s always an incredible breakfast and a great way to celebrate Easter with your church
Easter Breakfast Help Needed:
6 people to set up on Saturday, at 12:30 p.m. 10 people to set up and serve on Sunday at 8:00 a.m., 10 people to clean up at 10:30 a.m. Sign up button below. Please be generous with your time to make this a huge success.

PADS Amazon Wish List —
PADS Housewarming Kits Collection —
PADs maintains an Amazon Wish List to provide items to individuals and families in need this Winter: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/ZK4KVX8VAV3A?ref_=wl_share
Please consider donating to
this Wish List.
PADs is currently in need of shelf-stable items in microwaveable ready bowls: Easy Mac
· Chef Boyardee
· Dinty Moore Meals
· Cup of Soup
· Ramen Cups
PADS provides families in need with food and shelter in their time of need. Their mission is to help those families get back on their feet and continue living an independent life. Many of the PADS clients move into their new homes with very few personal items. To make this exciting time more enjoyable, we will be collecting NEW items to package Housewarming Kits. These kits will include a few basic items for the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom to help the PADS clients create a brighter future for themselves.
How can you help?
1. Sign up to purchase and drop off new items from the list.
2. Donate money or a gift card (Target, Walmart of Amazon) and let Kari do the shopping for you. Please label your envelope, “Housewarming Kits,” and drop off in the front office or in the donation plate.
All items are due to the church by Sunday, April 23rd. If you have any questions, please contact Kari Davenport. 773-844-7542. karikdavenport@yahoo.com
