Providing nourishment during transitions
Make them a Meal
A meal from a friend is such a blessing. MSC’s Make them a Meal ministry is designed to help people in our church community during times of transition or challenge such as the birth of a child, a family member in the hospital, a death in the family or other circumstances. If you are willing to prepare or purchase a meal and take it to a family, we want you on the team.
Serving Lawrence families
Family Promise helps families experiencing homelessness achieve sustainable independence through a community-based response. Morning Star, along with other local congregations, provides space in our building to serve families once a quarter. By making meals and providing hospitality in this way, we are eliminating family homelessness in our community. Prepare a meal, spend a night, and play with children to help these local families get back on their feet.
Meeting needs for children in foster care
Child welfare professionals in Lawrence are overwhelmed daily by the needs of children and families right here in our community. CarePortal bridges the gap between children in need and churches who want to help. If you’re willing to receive an email and meet a need when you can, this is for you!
Have your voice heard
Our Christian faith’s call to recognize the image of God in every person and to love our neighbor as ourselves compels us to speak into the public square to promote justice and moral order. We have a responsibility as followers of Jesus to seek common ground and the common good. With that in mind, here’s contact information of our state and local officials so your voice can be heard.
