Service opportunities at Falcon Heights Church.

Christmas giving for Lyngblomsten seniors

Falcon Heights is a member of Lyngblomsten’s church network. Each Christmas season we participate in the Spirit of Giving fund-raiser to help bring holiday joy to older adults who might not receive any other gifts. Lyngblomsten’s staff will use the money to purchase Christmas gifts for each resident on its St. Paul campus.

You can give online at www.lyngblomsten.org/donate; write a check to Lyngblomsten Foundation, with “Spirit of Giving” in the memo line; or purchase gift cards from sources such as Amazon, Walmart, Target or Kohl’s. Checks and cards can be placed in a decorated box in the Falcon Heights Welcome Center or mailed to Spirit of Giving, c/o Trisha Gerleman, Lyngblomsten Care Center, 1410 Almond Ave., St. Paul 55108. Donations must be received by Tuesday, Dec. 2.

School tools campaign

Falcon Heights and New Life churches will jointly begin collecting School Tools for Interfaith Action for distribution to low-income families in greater St. Paul. Look for the collection box in either church.

Young learners need everything from backpacks to pencils to help them succeed in school. Download the list of needed supplies

If you prefer to write a check, please make it out to Interfaith Action with “School Tools” in the memo line. Bring your donations to either church by Monday, Aug. 25.
