Lutheran Church Charities' new Hearts of Mercy & Compassion, Crosses for Losses Ministry will be present to be with the families of the victims. Hearts of Mercy & Compassion, Crosses for Losses provides a physical and spiritual symbol through the giving of hearts and crosses to families and friends who have suffered loss or serious illness of a loved one. These symbols are provided by a caring Christian in order to share the hope of Jesus Christ in their time of need in Presence and Prayer. The Hearts allow people to write a message or signature on them to show their love and support for those grieving or suffering.
LCC never goes where we are not invited and LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry NEVER charges those we serve. We pick up all of our travel, hotel, and meal costs. We always put boots and paws on the ground within 24 hours (often fewer) from the time we get the invite. Please help LCC as we bring the Mercy, Compassion, Presence and Proclamation of Jesus Christ to those who are suffering and in need. We know that comfort is needed to help this shocked and devastated community and the first responders who serve them. Please support us by prayer and if you are so moved, help us with travel expenses.T Thank you for being a part of the Mercy and Compassion ministry of Lutheran Church Charities.

Lutheran Church Charities - Northbrook, Illinois On Saturday, February 22, the LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry hosted its monthly “22” Dinner & Program. The evening began with the Presentation of Colors, Pledge of Allegiance, the National Anthem, and the Missing Man Table Ceremony, followed by a delicious dinner of chili, tex-mex salad, cornbread casserole, desserts and beverages. After dinner, the guests were treated to a presentation by Pastor Jim Buckman, who serves as a Chaplain in the Air National Guard. Jim recently completed a deployment to serve the U.S. personnel in Antarctica and shared his experiences living at the bottom of the world.
