LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs & Hearts of Mercy & Compassion Bring a Comforting Presence to Chesapeake, Virginia, Community Following Walmart Shooting

11/29/2022

 
Picture
Following an invite from Pastor Nate Speerbrecker from Community of Hope Lutheran Church in Chesapeake, Virginia, LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs responded with a loving and comforting presence, bringing hope to yet another devastated community affected by a mass shooting.
 
On Tuesday night, November 22, a Walmart night team lead began a deadly rampage less than an hour before the store was scheduled to close, killing six employees, injuring four (two critically), and traumatizing many Thanksgiving shoppers before taking his own life.
 
LCC also worked with Rev. Dr. Bill Harmon, Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) Southeast District President and pastor at King of Glory in Williamsburg, Virginia, who welcomed both the LCC K-9 Ministry and Hearts of Mercy & Compassion (HMC) to continue serving the grieving communities in the Southeast District.

LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs Amos (Our Savior's Way - Ashburn, Virginia), Claudia (Trinity - Toledo, Ohio), Kezia (Emmanuel - Baltimore, Maryland), and Solomon (King of Glory - Williamsburg, Virginia), and their handlers spent time with Chesapeake Fire Station 4 that arrived first on the scene. The teams also visited Chesapeake Fire Station 3, which responded to the shooting. The LCC K-9 Comfort Dog teams were honored to be able to meet the men on shift that night. The love, dedication, and care they display for the victims and employees are inspiring.
 
We thank all the first responders who responded quickly to the call for help: the quick-thinking 911 operators, the Chesapeake police officers, firefighters, and EMS. These brave women and men face and respond to tragedies that none of us can imagine.

The LCC K-9 Comfort Dog teams and Chesapeake Community of Hope Lutheran Church worked together to put together LCC Hearts of Mercy & Compassion, Crosses for Losses for the six victims, and placed them at the memorial site near Walmart.

The LCC Hearts of Mercy and Compassion ministry and the LCC K-9 Ministry teams serving the community in Chesapeake were blessed by the hospitality and loving assistance of our brothers and sisters at Chesapeake Community of Hope Lutheran Church together, sharing the mercy, compassion, presence, and proclamation of Jesus Christ with those who are suffering and in need.
 
"From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." Ephesians 4:16
 
We continue to pray for the Walmart employees, their families and friends, and the community to be comforted, loved, remembered, and helped during this time of grief, pain, fear, and uncertainty.
In November, Lutheran Church Charities responded to other mass shootings and crisis anniversaries across the country. CLICK HERE to read more about how we were present and serving devastated and grieving communities.

LCC's K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry and Hearts of Mercy & Compassion Ministry never charge those we serve as we bring the Mercy, Compassion, Presence and Proclamation of Jesus Christ to those suffering and in need. We know that comfort is needed to help these shocked and devastated communities and the first responders who serve them.

Hats for Homeless

11/29/2022

 
LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Miriam's team  (Emmanuel - Kingfisher, Oklahoma) has been busy the last couple of months making crocheted hats for No Boundaries in Oklahoma City. 

These wonderful ladies made 131 hats to keep ears warm this winter.  The midweek classes made notes of encouragement and love to be placed in the hats. 

The hats were given to the staff of No Boundaries, and will be placed in Christmas bags for the homeless and sexually trafficked.  The bags will be delivered by No Boundaries staff, along with K-9 Miriam and some team members on December 17.

Help LCC Share the Love of Jesus this Christmas with Presents of Food for Children in Haiti's Tent City

11/22/2022

Donations needed to provide children and their families with food

Picture
Through your generous donations, Lutheran Church Charities continues to provide scholarships for children in the tent city in Haiti. Each year for Christmas, we ask that you consider a gift of food for the children.
 
Because of the current political crisis in Haiti, the cost of food has risen dramatically. We are asking for donations to provide each child with a food package of basic supplies that will feed their family during the Christmas break. Without this assistance, many of the children will go hungry.
 
The cost is $65.00 per child for a gift of basic food staples.
 
Please consider a generous donation to show the love and compassion of Jesus to these children this Christmas.

Your Support Gives a Pregnant Widowed Mom of Five Hope for the Future

11/22/2022

 
LCC received an update from Pastor Doug Warmann, Trinity Lutheran Church, Roselle, Illinois, on the widowed mom of five with a sixth baby on the way that the church is assisting.
Picture
Dear Christian friends,
 
This is an update on the family of five children and their mother grieving the death of their father and partner. The three younger children have been sick several times over the last month with various illnesses as they adjust to daycare. 
 
The mother is still recovering from a work injury and is undergoing physical therapy. Her pregnancy is progressing, with a new baby due in early March. She is struggling to find a caregiver for the children, as she previously worked the night shift for UPS. 
 
With your help, we have been able to help her with many monthly bills, including rent, utilities, daycare, and most of her debts.  We are trying to get her through the immediate time, but her need will continue. 
 
The family is finding the upcoming holidays to be difficult with the absence of their father and partner. Thank you for giving them hope!
 
Please pray for them and prayerfully consider supporting them as God leads. 
 
Thank you for your consideration,
 
Pastor Doug Warmann
Trinity Lutheran Church
Roselle, Illinois

First Anniversary of the Christmas Parade Attack in Waukesha, Wisconsin

11/22/2022

 
Monday, November 21, marked the first anniversary of the Christmas parade attack in Waukesha, Wisconsin. It was a day for the community to gather and remember the six precious lives taken: Virginia “Ginny” Sorenson, Leanna Owen, Tamara Durand, Jane Kulich, Wilhem “Bill” Hospel, and Jackson Sparks.

LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs were invited to Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church and Clarendon Avenue Elementary School to be with the students and staff on this difficult day.

Beautiful Savior Lutheran School

LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs Dora (Lutheran High School Association of Greater Milwaukee - Milwaukee, Wisconsin), Rhoda (Prince of Peace - Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin), and Tobias (Lord of Glory - Grayslake, Illinois) were invited by Principal Wolff to support the students and staff at Beautiful Savior Lutheran School on the first anniversary of the Waukesha Christmas parade tragedy.

Many students and their families were at the parade one year ago on November 21, and that memory still causes much sadness, fear, and other emotions.

The students could visit with and feel the love and comfort of Tobias, Rhoda, and Dora. A day with much sadness was filled with gentleness, healing, and love.

Clarendon Avenue Elementary School

Picture
Monday was a difficult day for Clarendon Avenue Elementary School, which lost Jackson Sparks, a third-grade student, one year ago in the Christmas parade tragedy. The administrative staff, teachers, and the now fourth-grade classmates of Jackson remembered the blessing he was to them. His smile, his caring and happy presence, and his love for baseball.

LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs were invited back to Clarendon by Principal Andrea Kaplaan and School Counselor Brittany Sadorf to be with the students and staff as they continue to heal after the tragedy. LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs Charity (Brookfield - Brookfield, Wisconsin), Hagar (Faith Lutheran - Appleton, Wisconsin) Mary (St. Paul's - Janesville, Wisconsin), and Samson (Zion - Marengo, Illinois), along with their handlers, were present at the school early Monday morning to shower in love, comfort, and understanding the teachers and administrative staff who had to face this challenging day of reflection and loss.

Tears were shed as they sought the comforting touch and gentle presence of the K-9s. Many tears changed to warm smiles and more comforting embraces. Once the students arrived, the four LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs were there for the children to see, love, and seek comfort, calm, and gentleness.

The school community has done a beautiful job supporting the children and teachers through this healing process. The LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs and their teams are humbled to be with them on this journey.

Our prayers are for the Waukesha community, remembering those killed and injured on this first anniversary. We pray for God's protection, peace, and comfort and for them to know and feel they are not alone.
