Help LCC Continue to Serve Through the Hearts of Mercy & Compassion, Crosses for Losses Ministry

LCC’s Hearts of Mercy and Compassion, Crosses for Losses Ministry has been sharing the Mercy, Compassion, Presence and Proclamation of Jesus Christ to those who are suffering and in need for more than a year now. In that year, more than 400 hearts have been distributed, each presenting a unique ministry opportunity to share mercy and love with each recipient. Every heart and cross are hand-crafted by volunteers and staff, taking a great deal of time and love to produce these expressions of appreciation, gratitude, encouragement, acknowledgment, care, and love.

Without our generous donors, LCC would not be able to serve, as we NEVER charge those we serve, responding within 24 hours of an invite (often much sooner).

In the past 45 days, LCC has been called to serve at two mass shootings and many other crisis events.

32 hearts and 22 crosses/markers have been deployed in crisis response:
 
14 hearts, 10 crosses: King Soopers, Boulder, Colorado (mass shooting)
12 hearts, 8 markers: FedEx, Indianapolis, Indiana (mass shooting)
3 hearts, 1 cross: Delavan-Darien High School, Delavan, Wisconsin (death of a student)
1 heart, 1 cross: Chicago, Illinois (death of a teenager)
2 hearts, 2 crosses: Judson University, Elgin, Illinois (death of two students)

An additional 22 hearts have been presented: 13 thin blue line hearts honoring the service of law enforcement officers, 2 thin red line hearts honoring the service of firefighters, and 7 thin yellow line hearts honoring the service of 911 dispatchers.

Numerous hearts have also been presented to honor care giving staff at long-term care facilities, nurses and hospital staff for their dedication to patients, to honor the lives of people who have passed, and as a support to family and friends in grief.

Each Heart of Mercy and Compassion carries a cost of $30.00. Each Crosses for Losses carries a cost of $60.00. These costs include a steep increase in the cost of lumber, which has been brought on by the pandemic.

LCC is grateful for your partnership and continued support as we serve together in Jesus' name.
