Kids Summer Lunch Program

Each summer, Gethsemane Lutheran Church partners with our community to provide free bag lunches for children at Breeds Park. From June 8 through August 21, lunches are served Monday through Friday from 11:00 AM–12:00 PM, rain or shine. No registration is required, and all children are welcome!

This ministry is made possible through the generosity of volunteers and donors. Whether you can help serve lunches, donate supplies, or support the program financially, your contribution helps ensure local children have access to a meal and a caring community throughout the summer.

Join us for the 2027 ELCA Youth Gathering in Minneapolis, Minnesota, June 28–July 2, 2027! Held every three years, the Gathering brings together thousands of high school youth from across the country for an unforgettable experience of worship, service, learning, and fellowship. The theme for 2027 is "Imagine More," inviting young people to imagine more hope, courage, grace, and belonging in the world through Christ.
