Lakeside Lutheran Church in Venice, Florida, Thanks LCC L.E.R.T. for Their Assistance with Hurricane Ian Recovery

11/8/2022

Pastor David Dahlke from Lakeside Lutheran Church in Venice, Florida, sent the below picture with a note to Kathy O’Day, LCC Director of Disaster Response on Sunday morning:

“Today, the congregation added a plaque to the cross your team carved in one of our downed trees in front of the church. Team, thanks again for changing our lives for the good. The hand of healing comes in many forms. Thank you for placing your fingerprints on so many hearts and souls that needed some healing.”

LCC L.E.R.T. volunteers were truly blessed by Lakeside Lutheran Church, Pastor David Dahlke, and his family during our Hurricane Ian deployment stay. It was a privilege to share the mercy, compassion, presence and proclamation of Jesus Christ with those in need while representing this church in their community.

LCC received the following thank you note from a homeowner for work completed by LCC L.E.R.T. volunteers:

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ at Lutheran Church Charities,

It is with a grateful heart that I send this note of gratitude and many thanks to you all.
When I received the call that Lutheran Church Charities would be sending out a team of five volunteers to help me cut down two trees that never recovered from past storms in my area, I was overcome with emotion. What a blessing you all are. Thank you, especially Missy, Nate, Ken, Vicki, and Kristin, for your hard work and the kindness shown to me and my sons.

God has been very good to me since my husband's passing six years ago at the age of 47. The journey on this side of Heaven is not always easy without him, but my sons and I know that we are never alone because God is always with us. We see Him work through hands and hearts like yours.

I pray God's Blessings upon all those at Lutheran Church Charities who daily pour out God's love to those in need. May many others be touched by God, comforted, and see God at work through your volunteers.

Thank you again.

Your Sister in Christ,
Michelle

LCC received the following thank you letter from Village of Woodridge Mayor Gina Cunningham:

Dear Deac. Kathy:

On behalf of our entire grateful community, our Woodridge Village Board, the Village of
Woodridge and myself, we want to thank you all for your tremendous outpouring of help, kindness, and sacrifice that was shown to us on the fateful day of June 20, 2021. When our community was hit by the EF-3 Tornado, along with Naperville and Darien, without any hesitation, your organization reached out to help us, whether it was by sending employees or lending heavy machinery, providing donations, or sending us a caring note of support. All of this means so much to our community and there are truly not enough words to fully express our thanks.

We cannot begin to tell you how very much we appreciate all of you and wanted thank you for coming to our aid when we needed it the most.

Please accept this letter of gratitude and thanks from all of us - our entire grateful community. Your kindness will be felt for generations to come within the Woodridge community.

Our Heartfelt Gratitude,

VILLAGE OF WOODRIDGE

Gina Cunningham
Mayor

A Tree City USA Community since 1992
