LCC K-9 Ministry Teams Comfort the Community of Aurora, Illinois, Following Shooting Tragedy2/26/2019
LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs Angel & Charity teams shared: Teachers and counselors bring small groups of 4-6 students at a time to spend time with the LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs. We saw lots of smiles and the Comfort Dogs got lots of hugs. Several students even asked if the dogs were there to protect them from a shooter. The Comfort Dogs were clearly needed. The teachers and staff were very appreciative!
Please join LCC in keeping the Henry Pratt Company employees, students, teachers, school staff, first responders, and the community in your prayers for continued healing in Aurora.
