On Sunday, September 28th at 2:30, a Rite of Dedication took place for the new food pantry at the Immanuel Lutheran Church parking lot facing 160 in Lockwood, Missouri. Pastor Gary Griffin and Rev. Kyle Fittje of the Immanuel Lutheran church led the Rite of Dedication service. Other pastors and members from the churches in Lockwood were in attendance as the Food pantry is a Ministerial Alliance project. Other honorary guests were: Pamela Allen, who wrote a grant for $5,000 and then was matched by Thrivent for
an additional $5,000; Tom Mehl and Austin Rice who paved the way for the grant from Thrivent; Tim Eggerman and Merle Schnelle who won a contest with Monsanto for $2,000; and Brian Wehrman, who drew up the plans and constructed the new Food Pantry. Many present brought canned food or paper products for the food pantry. This was a two-year project and with hard work and many partners working together, the food pantry has become a reality. May God bless this food pantry and those who continue to help others in their time of need.
