Camp Restore Detroit is back in business and we are excited to welcome volunteers back into our community! We have worked diligently to keep both our community and volunteers safe. At this point in time, our community has requested that we send back our volunteers. These will be true acts of love and kindness as usually our community works alongside our volunteers but we have asked that they also socially distance.

McRest may be able to Help!

Portals of Prayer is a daily devotional booklet STL gives to anyone who is interested. For each day of the month there is a reading from Holy Scripture, a thought about that word, a prayer, and the opportunity to dig deeper into the word. The booklet also contains a variety of special prayer resources in its back pages.

Plans to host the inaugural Council of Lutheran Women Mission Focus, a mission expo designed to inform attendees about service opportunities at member ministry organizations and encourage involvement, have been postponed to 2021.

St. Thomas is having a Blood Drive on September 30, from 1-7pm, in the gym. All workers will be practicing safe distancing and sanitizing as well as making sure all participants are safe. Please wear your mask and sanitize your hands prior to coming into the gym.

As of Sunday, August 9, STL will no longer have reserved or assigned seating for worship.  Instead, for the foreseeable future, sections of pews will be labeled “No Seating Please.”  These markers will keep all open seats at least six feet apart.   As you arrive for worship, please continue to wear your face mask (at least until you are seated and when you are in the hallways).  On your way in, pick up a worship folder and select an available place to sit.  While family members are encouraged to sit together in the open areas, we ask that you to sit at least 6 feet away from anyone else. 

HIS II is once again participating in the Lutheran World Relief Backpack program. Education is one of the strongest tools a community has for breaking the cycle of poverty. Ensuring that girls attend school, especially in places where their access is deprioritized, has even stronger results. Lutheran World Relief works closely with our overseas partners to determine the best contents to include in kits.
