Meal Train for Heather Duewer and family
What is Meal Train
Meal train is a web-based tool to organize needs of our congregation. For example, need a ride to a doctor’s appointment; on one or many days? We can create a page that will organize volunteers in one place.
Meal train does much more than deliver meals to someone in need. It starts with an interactive online calendar, listing current needs. Click on the event you would like to help with and you are set; a reminder email sent to you 1 week and also 1 day prior to date.
When it comes to food, we have the ability to list meal preferences and allergies. We can specify how many to cook for.
Once created, the link can be shared by email, Facebook, Twitter, and whatever social media platform desired. Then when friends say – what can I do, you simply send them the link. Everything is organized.
If you or someone you know has a need, notify the church office or
outreach@huttolutheranchurch.org
. If you want to receive notices of needs in the congregation, join the Flocknote Meal Train Group to receive notices of recently posted needs.

Legacy giving for family, ministry seminar to be presented June 18
Everything that we have is a gift that God places in our care during our lifetimes. We each have the privilege, responsibility and joy of being a steward, of caring for loved ones, for God’s creation, and also creating gifts for Christian ministry.
As you plan your own legacy that will reflect your faith and values, the Lutheran Foundation of the Southwest is here to assist you. We are here to help you care for your family and benefit Lutheran ministries, as well as your other favorite community and other non-profit organizations.
Lutheran Foundation of the Southwest provides comprehensive gift planning and management, personalized to your goals and your unique family and financial situation. The gifts the foundation receives and stewards are on behalf of other ministries.
Hutto Lutheran Church will host a Legacy Giving for Family and Ministry Seminar at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 18. Deacon John Dellis, our synod gift planner with the foundation, will be with us to talk about options and possibilities for the future for our congregation.
During the seminar, we’ll discuss:
·
How to care and provide for family and other loved ones and provide legacy gifts for ministry and other non-profit organizations
·
Review options for legacy gift sharing that will bless future generations forever
·
That the foundation’s services to the members of our congregation are provided at no cost and no obligation.
