LCC Is a Featured Mission Partner at Prince Of Peace, Palatine, Illinois

At weekend worship services on April 30 and May 1, Lutheran Church Charities was the Featured Mission Partner at Prince of Peace (POP) Lutheran Church in Palatine, Illinois.

LCC staff members Deb Baran and Kathy O’Day, Jim Beckley, Prince of Peace Lutheran Early Response Team (L.E.R.T.) Leader, LCC K-9 Comfort Dog ministry handlers Brad Schroeder with LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Benjamin (LCC Staff), Dona Martin with LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Emma (LCC Staff), Stephanie Keller with LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Hannah (LCC Staff), Jeff Stover and Brian Carlson with LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Julia (King of Glory - Elgin, Illinois) were present to share information about how LCC Ministries including Human Care, Disaster Response & Palatine L.E.R.T., and K-9 Ministries serve communities locally and in times of crisis and disaster.

The K-9s were able to visit with the Sunday School classes and the Adult Bible Study to bring love and comfort to the participants.

Deb Baran, LCC Director of Communications thanked the congregation for their continued support of all LCC Ministries, and Kathy O’Day, LCC Director of Disaster Response, thanked the congregation for their generous support of LCC Disaster Response. Jim Beckley, Prince of Peace L.E.R.T. Team Leader, spoke to the congregation about how the Palatine L.E.R.T. team serves three ways - the congregation, local communities, and deployments to other states as requested.
 
The Palatine L.E.R.T. team is assembling Blessing Buckets, which are specific items that can be given to a disaster-affected family by a L.E.R.T. team member as they are being ministered to and served in the name of the Lord.
 
LCC is grateful to Prince of Peace and its members for their partnership, support, and prayers.
