Caring Community

​

Our Caring Community "shows God's loving care within the All Saints faith community by serving and supporting in times of personal and family need."

It was the result of conversations that began in 2012, when people in the congregation saw a need to extend practical help to those within our own congregation. The most-often requested services are for friendly visits and for rides. We also provide simple meals, and send greeting cards and notes to those who are sick or those confined to the home.

Sew Sew Saints

Tuesday afternoons, 1:30–4:00 PM (except December)

​

The Sew Sew Saints use donated fabric to sew useful items for persons in poverty around the community and world. All sewing skill levels are welcomed. People are needed to sort, iron and cut fabric, assemble quilt kits for congregation members to sew quilt tops at home, and then assemble quilt tops. The tote bags and baby layettes are easily learned as well.

  1. Quilts for Lutheran World Relief

  2. Tote bags for an inner city giveaway

  3. Baby layettes for First English Lutheran Church in Columbus

Refugee Ministry

 

The All Saints Refugee Ministry is a dedicated group who works to raise awareness and monetary donations for local refugee services in Columbus, specifically CRIS (Community Refugee and Immigration Services). We partner with CRIS to cosponsor incoming refugee families, providing needed services for these families, such as welcome kits, culturally-appropriate meals, rental assistance, home furnishings, and more.

All Saints is proud to be a member of the Worthington Partnership of Habitat For Humanity. The partnership is a group of churches who finance and help build an area house each year. If you would like to help with building a house, the partnership workdays are Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

 

No experience is necessary, and hand tools are provided. There are people on the site who will show you how to do a certain task, and work with you. Please contact the All Saints' staff to learn more or to get involved.

Hunger Task Group

 

The Hunger Task Group engages with the congregation in helping meet the hunger needs of our community. The group facilitates volunteers to assist at two area food pantries, organizes food and hygiene drives for the pantries.

—Current Drives—

"Thankfull" Holiday for LSS

Pick up a bag with a grocery list and return it filled with all the fixings for a traditional holiday meal. We accept donations beginning in November.

Worthington Pantry

We have a new focus for the Worthington Pantry every month. Subscribe to our email list for more information. Look for the blue box near the office labeled “Worthington Food Pantry” and put your donations there. 

One More from the Store

This ongoing effort asks the congregation to pick up an "extra" of one of their favorite items on each shopping trip to help our neighbors at the LSS pantries. Personal care items are always especially needed, as the pantry cannot buy them at a discount and they are not eligible purchases for those using government food assistance programs.
