Lincoln County Food Pantry
The Food Pantry for Lincoln County is housed at Canton Lutheran Church. We work with the Canton Area Ministerial Association (congregations in Canton area) and Love INC organizations in distributing nonperishable items to those in need on the first Tuesday of each month, 2:00-4:00PM, at CLC. We invite persons to contact Love INC if you have need.
Serve at the banquet
CLC coordinates a variety of wonderful service opportunities in the Canton and Sioux Falls area, including serving at The Banquet, a feeding ministry in Sioux Falls. We most recently served at their downtown location in April 2024, and had a blast serving and connecting with guests. Join us in serving our neighbors!
Blessing Meals
The Mission and Ministry Board of CLC makes casseroles to bring to those that are experiencing difficult times. Any CLC member is welcome to go to the basement freezer, take a casserole, and deliver it to a friend or relative in need. We have had members give them to people with new babies, surgeries and other health issues.
Canton Lutheran Caregivers
Canton Lutheran Caregivers serves those members of our church body who, due to physical limitations, are unable to attend church services regularly. Some are unable to leave “home” at all. They rely on caregivers who provide for their basic needs—but sometimes that just isn't enough. Without regular social contact, they begin to feel isolated, helpless, and lonely. These dear saints present a great opportunity for ministry. If you're wondering what that looks like, it can be as simple as sending a note, taking Home Communion, making a phone call or stopping by for a visit. It is a great privilege to come alongside and encourage our homebound members. Contact Pastor Jon for more information
Prayer Ministry
The purpose of Prayer Ministry Team at CLC is not to keep people informed about what is happening in the church, but rather to pray for needs and concerns, and also to give praises for answered prayers. All prayer requests submitted to the Prayer Ministry Team are kept confidential by those who receive the name or situation for which to pray. However, if you wish to add your prayer to the Prayers of the People section of our weekly worship bulletin please let us know when you submit your prayer request for the prayer team and / or bulletin by calling the church office (605) 764-2429 or by email at clc@cantonlutheran.net
Note: Because of privacy laws, we can only pass on names to the prayer team and/or publicly pray for someone if asked by a family member or requested by the person themselves.
