Love, Joy, Peace...
You shall not murder.
What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not hurt of harm our neighbor in his body, but help and support him in every physical need. - Luther's Small Catechism

Operation Christmas Child Program
Rose of Sharon Lutheran supports Operation Christmas Child as a community collection site. Please see Samaritan's Purse website for more information on this ministry. 
Needed: We have enough crayons, notebooks and toothbrushes. We still need pencil sharpeners, scissors, school pencil pouches, washcloths, soap (bar), combs, toys, flip flops, jump ropes, jacks, marbles, games and puzzles. (We are not allowed to send any liquids.) We are also looking for shoeboxes to pack in.

Prairie Restoration Project In Progress
Rose of Sharon Lutheran is taking several acres of our lawn and restoring it back to natural prairie land. This process takes several years. The wet spring of 2024 has helped establish the prairie that looked very nice. Note that part of establishing the prairie is mowing it down to reduce the number of weeds. It will come back.
Love Our Neighbor as Ourself
Members of Rose of Sharon are dedicated to supporting human care ministries local and worldwide, including Friends in Need Food Shelf and Feed My Starving Children. "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in..." Matthew 25:35
