AU Worship - CLC’s provides & serves treats
Join us on Monday, February 10th, following 10:00AM worship (30 min in length) as CLC provides and serves treats for our wonderful partner in ministry. Worship that morning includes the semi-annual blessing of student-athletes, and the AU Pep Band. It will be a rockin' good time! This is a great chance to both experience the faithful work of this ministry partner as well as say "Thank You" for the ways AU has enhanced our own CLC worship with the gift of music.

CLC’s Living Nativity, Cantata concert, and soup supper
Canton Lutheran Church’s annual Advent/Christmas tradition happened again this past December 2024! Hundreds gathered to witness the Christmas story acted and sang out, feeling the love of Christ born 2,000 years ago. Our outdoor living nativity, Christmas cantata concert in our sanctuary, and youth soup supper offered many wonderful chances to experience Christ’s birth and love in our lives.
Lincoln County Food Pantry
Jesus calls us to “Feed my sheep.” And, people are hungry! The Food Pantry for Lincoln County is housed at Canton Lutheran Church, and we rejoice in this effort. 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 on other days.
God’s work. Our hands. Sunday of service
During the fall each year CLC joins with many other congregations across our denomination, the ELCA, in service of neighbor. September 2024 we partnered with Good Samaritan Society (Canton) and their “Walk of Ages” fundraising event; Set-up, assisting during the event, and clean-up. We’re excited to continue serving our local community and beyond, committing ourselves to being servants, following in the example of Jesus.
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. Most recently CLC served at The Banquet’s downtown location in spring of 2024, and had a blast serving and connecting with guests. Join us in serving our neighbors!
Care Center worship
As an extension of Canton Lutheran Church’s visitation ministry Pastor Jon leads worship services with Holy Communion at Good Samaritan Society (Canton) every 6 weeks, and Hiawatha Heights 2 months each year. CLC and five other congregations in the Canton area rotate to provide this worship opportunity. These offerings allow CLC to support our members and other residents at Good Samaritan Society and Hiawatha Heights.
