Gethsemane Lutheran is proud to continue the annual Gethsemane Lutheran Winter Coat Drive.

Even in the midst of a pandemic; we are sure to follow CDC and ODE safety guidelines while distributing coats to local schools for children in need of a warm coat this winter.

A great big THANK YOU to all who continue to support this ministry with your continued prayers, donations and support. This year will prove to be especially hard with collection and distribution; which has in highlighted the blessings along the way!

God is love and mercy and calls us to be His people. We are gifted with His abundant grace. We are a community, a people who care, expressing the Lord's compassion. We continue to serve with joy and love.
