Projects from the Past
 
Servant Garden, Christ the Servant Lutheran Church 
May 1
 
Students worked in the Servant Garden at Christ the Servant Lutheran Church.  Ninty percent of produce grown in the garden goes to feed the hungry in the Denton area.  They also prepared and enjoyed a meal made with organic food.
 
Erik Lundquist, Beau Henderson, Valter Monjane, Nicole Alexander, Laura Maultsby, Katie Rozacky, Brandon Parsons and Martin Converse after hard work and a good meal.
Students serve even when there's no "servant" event.  Board member Brandon Parsons and students Laura Maultsby, Aromi Knox, Beau Henderson, and Martin Converse clean up after a Wednesday night meal.  And have fun doing it! 
  
 
Mandeville and Baton Rouge, Louisiana     Spring Break 2010 
 
Students traveled to Mandeville, where they worked at the Northlake Nature Center on Saturday.  On Sunday they worshiped at Hosanna Lutheran, Mandeville and spent the afternoon in New Orleans.  On Monday & Tuesday, students worked on a home in Baton Rouge and visited LCM students from Louisiana State University.

Service at Briarwood Spring Break 2009  
      
Thirteen students and friends of LCM spent three days at Briarwood.  We cleaned the pool and the camp store and painted the exterior of the cabins at Quail Run, the center's motel-like facility.
 
     
Beau Henderson coordinated our work with the staff of Briarwood.
  Hard work means you need a little rest (Valter Monjane) . . . or target practice (Josh Murtha).    
       
Empty Bowl      October 2008   

Every year, people from Christ The Servant Lutheran Church and from the Denton community make and paint ceramic bowls.  Each October, the bowls are purchased and receive a meal of soup and bread.  Proceeds from the Empty Bowl project go to Our Daily Bread soup kitchen.   
     
Josh Murtha and Amanda Russell serve LCM alum and board member Brandon Parsons.       Nettie Zehms, Linda Naylor, and Laura Maultsby serve soup to guests.
  Hundreds of people attend each year and thousands of dollars are raised to feed the hungry.

At left, Jeff Plato and his father, John, enjoy their meal.  John was chair of the board of Lutheran Campus Ministry at Denton for many years.
   

One of our favorite projects was building a ramp for a disabled person.        
        
          
       We spent a Saturday doing yard work for the Cumberland Presbyterian Children's Home near the UNT campus.
             
Earlier service projects included a different trip to Briarwood.  Some students grew up going to camp there and now serve as summer staff.
