Lutheran Foundation of St. Louis

Amidst #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek, our staff was blessed with a 'mental health day' to prioritize mental wellness. We spent part of the morning enjoying some fresh air and camaraderie at Topgolf. Masks were worn, social distancing measures were taken (albeit, not in this photo), and fun was had by all!

As a reminder, the 2020 Lutheran Prayer Breakfast has been canceled. Though we will not be gathering, we encourage you to pray for our our churches, organizations, and leaders... for the most vulnerable in our communities and for those faint of heart... for justice and peace in our nation and world.

We are proud to support the new Touchette Bicycle Food Mission through Touchette Regional Hospital. Recently launched, they are delivering food via bicycle to their surrounding community where healthy food is not easily accessible.
