Lindenwood Park Directory 2026

2026 | Lindenwood Park Community Directory 30 Lindenwood Area Senior Ministry (LASM) is a non-profit, collaborative ministry of four local churches: Epiphany of Our Lord Catholic Church, St. James the Greater Catholic Church, Storyline Southwest Church, and Timothy Lutheran Church. The ministry works to support older adults in their homes, as members of their faith communities and the Lindenwood Park Neighborhood. LASM provides a variety of volunteer-driven services for older adults. Our programs include case management services, a medical transportation ministry, Saturday Servants (a home maintenance and repair program), Stephen Ministry (1:1 Christian caring ministry for seniors experiencing a difficult time), Memory Keepers (classes for individuals with mild to moderate memory loss), a monthly newsletter and social and educational events. While LASM works through local churches, you do not have to be a member of a particular church, or any church to participate. We serve adults who are age 60 and better and our volunteers are all ages! Our office is located within Storyline Southwest at 6401 Scanlan. We love serving the Lindenwood Park Neighborhood! All are welcome to get involved by participating in a program or service, volunteering with us, making a donation or referring a neighbor in need.
