Our Mission Statement
Living 4 Giving (L4G) is a group of Christians from Trinity Lutheran Church of Dover, New Jersey. L4G encourages the church membership to be aware of societal needs by providing various opportunities to serve within our church, local, and worldwide communities. This can be in the form of service, tangible items and/or monetary gifts.
Lent
Each Lenten season we choose a project to dedicate our time and talent to. In 2025 we are collecting books for the library at Academy Street School in Dover. The basement where the library is located was damaged and has been fixed. Most of the books were damaged as well. If you have not done so, you can choose a book from our book tree and purchase it. Many of the books are in Spanish.
86 Books were donated.
Mother's Day / Father's Day
This year we are combining our Mother's Day and Father's Day Project. We have decided to collect items for the Senior Building on East Blackwell Street.
Take a gift bag and fill it. If you can't find one or two items, don’t fret. The team will check each gift bag and complete it with any missing items. Delivery will be on June 18 during Trinity’s monthly coffee visit with the seniors. If you would like to join us at the coffee klatch, please let us know.
Reminder: Your participation in this outreach is an easy one:
-
Pick up a suggested list of items from the narthex's bulletin board.
-
Pick up a gift bag from the table and fill it with the items on the list OR
-
Choose items to purchase and return them to the basket in the narthex.
-
Filled bags and all individual items should be returned by June 8.
-
The Living for Giving Team will host a coffee hour on June 8, and would appreciate help filling bags with the donated items. Look for the helpers’ sign-up sheet.
A little bag of goodies certainly can make a senior's, mom's or dad’s day. Thanks for bringing a little joy to our “seniors down the block.”
