Walk Around Offering April 27—For The Banquet in Sioux Falls. The Endowment will have a 2 to 1 match with a $500 max. The Ignite/Confirmation students will be going to The Banquet to help serve meals the end of May. They will then present a check from Hope Lutheran to them.

The Banquet meal ministry was founded in 1985 starting with just one meal per week. They now serve 16 per week at two locations. The Banquet is a volunteer-based ministry, which means meals are paid for, prepared by, and served by volunteer groups who come from Sioux Falls and the surrounding area. In 2020 Banquet served over 200,000 meals, and at least 25,000 of those meals were served to children under 12. They go through approximately 15,000 gallons of milk each year.

As a church council we want to hear from our members about Hope Lutheran to see how we can better serve the congregation. This form will be available in the church bulletin, newsletter, and as a Google document – fill out just one survey (they are all the same) and return by May 26.
