LCC Responds to Families Who Lost   Everything from Hurricane Irma Join LCC as a Friend in Christ "Adopt an Amigos Center Family"

12/26/2017

 
Join LCC as a Friend in Christ "Adopt an Amigos Center Family"
In this past month, you have helped LCC provide for the critical needs of 92 families in Florida who are still recovering from the devastation left by Hurricane Irma. LCC is partnering with the Amigos Center located in Bonita Springs and Immokalee, Florida to assist the families they serve. Most of these families had major roof or flood damage or totally lost their home, causing many beds and appliances to be ruined.
 
With your generous donations, 77 families have been helped in some way, with 48 families taken care of completely with beds, bedding and appliances, if needed. The needs have been partially met for another 29 families. All are very thankful for the love of Christ that is being shown to them through the purchase of these items.   
 
Show the love of Jesus by helping LCC complete the needs for all 92 families by the New Year!
Your donations are already making a difference in the lives of the Amigos Center families!  
 
Pastor Glander and Pastor Selle send heartfelt thanks and appreciation for all of the support Lutheran Church Charities and its donors has sent their way. It is making a difference in the lives of many people. Church and Bible study attendance have increased as they can see people being the hands and feet of Jesus caring for their needs.
 
Rosa expressed, "Mucho gracias! My kids really needed the beds and I needed the stove and refrigerator.  I could have never imagined there would be such wonderful caring people to want to help us!"
 
Dear Lutheran Church Charities,
Thank you so much for the pillows, sheets, and blanket for our daughter's room! We finally have a general contractor coming next week to finish drywall, painting, and flooring. The new items will then be put to good use. God Bless!
 
LCC Director of Disaster Response, Deaconess Kathy O'Day, received a call from Sharlene, Mattress Firm Commercial Sales Coordinator, who calls each family to schedule delivery of ordered beds. She stated, "Every person I speak with expresses thanks and gratitude for calling and bringing beds. Even with a bit of a language barrier, I get what they are saying and I don't usually hear this and it has been such a pleasure this holiday season. I hope you are hearing this about what your organization is doing, because we think this has been great to be a part of!"
 
This is just one example of how Lutheran Church Charities uses your special gifts to help others during their times of greatest need - always in the name of Jesus Christ!

LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs Greet Travelers During the United Holiday Paws Event

12/26/2017

 
Twenty-three LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs and their handlers greeted hundreds of hurried travelers the three busiest days before Christmas at United Airlines at Chicago O’Hare International airport. The response from travelers was unanimous, “We love the comfort dogs!” The last thing people expected to see traveling to their destinations was a beautiful collection of goldens waiting to be pet. Many travelers had long layovers and spent a lot of time just sitting with the dogs. Photo opportunities were many and an opportunity to post pictures and help the LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs through a donation for each post was given.

Lake County Shop with a Sheriff

12/26/2017

 
On Tuesday, December 19, LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry Dogs Susie (St. Peter – Arlington Heights, Illinois), Flex and Brandy (LCC Squad), LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ruthie (LCC Staff) and LCC K-9 Police Ministry Dog Eve (St. John’s – Lombard, Illinois) greeted children who have been subjected to domestic abuse. Santa was there and the kids were fed a nice meal. Then each child went to Wal-Mart with a Lake County Sheriff police officer to buy $100 of items. It was so wonderful to see 40 or more police officers and other Lake County police personnel give of their time to give the children a really nice night. The dogs were great and the children loved them.

Great Lakes Naval Training Christmas

12/26/2017

 
On Christmas morning, December 25, LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry Dogs Levi (Immanuel – East Dundee, Illinois) and Brandy, Blitz, and Brutus (LCC Squad) were on hand to greet the 50-plus Navy Recruits from Great Lakes Naval Training Station at Christian Liberty Academy in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Each year, for the past 7 years, Northwest Bible Church and Bob and Linda Stack have sponsored a Christmas day welcome for Navy recruits who would not be home for Christmas. The day is filled with food and fun. Most popular is the opportunity for the recruits to use cell phones to call home. The Kare 9s provided the love, comfort and compassion the recruits miss during their boot camp training.

Kind Words for LCC - Merry Christmas from the Seals

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and update on Meagan. She is doing well. She turned 8 years old in November. Still serving out God’s Will he has set for her. She is enjoying her bed and chair for the living room. This coming year, we have set a lot of therapy for her. She has had a lot of hip trouble from the stroke she had, otherwise she has been healthy. She enjoys eating Hershey bars and the doctor told me to give her as much as she wants; whatever makes her happy. She loves music as this seems to keep her happy. Anything that plays musical sounds. Thank you all for all your help. I hope everyone at Lutheran Church Charities has a blessed year in 2018.

Be Blessed – Merry Christmas,
Scott, Luellen, Ryan, Madison, McKenzie and Meagan
