Tim Hetzner, LCC President / CEO, spoke with Pastor about the losses in his community and how the church and LCC can respond to help those impacted deal with catastrophic losses they are experiencing. -
LCC Donors Continue to Help Families Affected by Prospect Heights FiresLutheran Church Charities continues to partner with the Prospect Heights Police Department victim advocates to provide assistance to residents affected by the fire. They provide interpretive services to Hispanic, Russian and Polish speaking residents so they can be informed of the available community resources to aid in their recovery. Kathy O'Day, LCC Director of Disaster Response, has worked with the police department several times this past week at their request to offer rental assistance to those in need. Each of these families are so appreciative and amazed at our willingness to assist them as we work collaboratively with the town of Prospect Heights. -
K-9 Outdoor Agility Training Area No Longer Underwater!Back in May, LCC put out a need to fix a drainage problems we were having with our K-9 Agility Training area. Water was collecting in the center of the training area and we had happy, muddy dogs and unhappy trainers. You answered the call and the funds were raised to buy the dirt and sod. In order to do the work, we needed 4 consecutive days without rain. That took another 8 weeks but finally, in the middle of July, we were dry enough to get the work done! We now have happy trainers as well as happy (and clean) dogs!!! -

Who is Jesus? - According to Jesus!The course starts Monday, September 10! Registration is required.
No other person has impacted human history like Jesus. No other person has lived like Jesus, made claims like Jesus or performed miracles like Jesus. No other person has been followed in the past or present like Jesus. No other person has been more misunderstood than Jesus! This begs the question, who is Jesus really?
Beginning with Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, this course will be an Investigation of Jesus, letting Jesus interpret Himself and scripture. Too often our understanding of Jesus comes from the doctrine and theology that we were taught and Christians, all reading the same Bible, come up with so many differing and conflicting views of Jesus and what the will of God is.
