All Saints Lutheran Church spreads joy with ice cream social at St. Coletta’s

On February 19, members of All Saints Lutheran Church brought joy to participants at St. Coletta’s of Illinois by hosting a special ice cream social at the organization’s Tinley Park campus.

Volunteers from the church arrived with tubs of ice cream and a variety of delicious toppings—including chocolate, caramel, M&M’s, mint chips, and sprinkles—serving up custom-made sundaes to the delight of St. Coletta’s participants. The event fostered joy, laughter, and a sense of community as participants enjoyed their sweet treats while connecting with church volunteers.

“We are incredibly grateful to All Saints Lutheran Church for their kindness and generosity,” said Heather Benedick, CEO of St. Coletta’s of Illinois. “Our participants had a fantastic time, and these moments of connection make a meaningful impact on their lives.”

Led by Pastor Don Borling, All Saints Lutheran Church has been a steadfast supporter of St. Coletta’s for many years, welcoming participants for food, fellowship, and celebration at summer picnics and an annual Thanksgiving feast. Their ongoing commitment to inclusion and support continues to make a positive difference in the lives of those served by St. Coletta’s.
