Baby Care Kits
Baby Care kits are shipped to countries where women in poverty bring babies into a world with little or nothing to care for them. These kits will contain basics like blankets for warmth and soap to keep baby clean.
Throughout the pandemic, ChristChurch volunteers have continued to collect items to make Baby Care Kits to donate to Lutheran World Relief.
Volunteers are looking for the following items:
- Bars of soap (300 needed, preferably unscented)
- Cloth diapers (600 needed)
Further details on the late October InGathering and logistics for assembling the kits will be available soon. But for now, we ask you to collect those items and hold tight on further instructions.
What's an InGathering?
InGathering is a local gathering of groups that make and collect kits to help areas in need worldwide. Find out more here.

Want to get more involved with ChristChurch?
Your church council has taken the summer months to review priorities for the church. We identified that nurturing a diverse team of volunteers is a healthy way for ChristChurch to flourish (and hopefully grow) our church community.
Volunteering is a great way to get plugged into your church, feel like part of a community, and serve Jesus at the same time. As Pastor preached on during our summer worship series, God has uniquely equipped every person in the Church with specific skills and gifts.
If you've been wanting to get more involved in your church now is a great time! We have identified 11 teams that currently operate at ChristChurch.
The teams listed below are looking for additional members:
Community Service: Cindy Kinnie, Sherrie Wade (we are looking for a chair for this team, know that you will have plenty of help!)
