St. Paul’s has a long-standing relationship with Lutheran Metropolitan Ministries Men’s Shelter—the largest shelter in the state, serving up to 365 men per night, with an additional 30-60 beds at overflow sites.

Final Day for Sock Collection

Monday, December 8, Narthex, Foyer, or outside the Parish office 

Bring pairs of new cotton or wool socks to be given out at our festive Christmas dinner. These socks will make a huge difference to folks who spend a lot of time outside in frigid weather.

Festive Christmas Dinner 

Wednesday, December 10, 5 – 7 p.m., 2100 Lakeside Ave., Cleveland

We will provide and serve our annual, festive Christmas dinner at the LMM Men’s Shelter. Last year, our intergenerational crew served over 270 holiday meals at this joyous occasion with traditional Christmas festivities. This year, we’re planning to serve about 300 people. Help by making a casserole or baking sweet treats in advance, or by coming to the dinner to help serve and/or socialize (setup starts about 4/4:30).

Serve Thursday Lunch
