Like most area churches, Willow South Lake, Lincolnshire, is holding virtual services these days. Since they can't do community together for the time being, Church leaders have organized several minimal contact community service projects. You can do some of these from the comfort of your own Amazon account or while you are out shopping for your own groceries. These include making donations to the Vernon Township Food Pantry; a blood drive; providing Easter baskets and toiletries to families who have been displaced by domestic violence through our local partner, A Safe Place. Everyone is invited to participate in serving our community with us.
Restocking our Local Food Pantry
The Vernon Township Food Pantry has requested the following items:
• Ready meals with protein, tuna, spaghetti and meatballs, soups, etc.
Community Voice The following is a list of events and opportunities provided by members of the community. It is provided as a community service. Barry posted on Instagram: “#wslathome @wslathome #Church This morning was great. We had a prayer team meeting and then joined”. See all of @barry1776's photos and videos on their profile.
• Personal care products: shampoo, conditioner, soap, and feminine hygiene products.
• Cleaning products: soft scrub with bleach, Lysol cleaner and dish soap.
You may drop the items off in the church entrance vestibule this Friday through Monday (3/27-3/30) anytime between 9 AM and 9 PM.
Blood Drive

According to Interim Lead Pastor Gina Cherian, '…especially in a time of worry and fear, one of the best things we can do is focus outward on serving and helping others.'
