Your Donations Make a Difference

Thank You for Your Generosity

The LCC Human Care Ministry team recently presented a check with your donations to Pastor John Brazeal and Principal Geri Brazeal of Christ the King Lutheran Church & School in Chicago, Illinois, to support the students' education.
 
The school continues to offer life-changing Christian education for children in an underserved area and ministers to the unhoused while providing housing for senior adults. Pastor John, Principal Geri, and the dedicated staff continue to teach the children the importance of offering mercy and compassion just as Jesus does for us.

No Hot Water
During our visit, we learned that all their water heaters, essential for cooking meals for the children and community, are broken. We ask for your help donating to cover the repair of the water heaters and restoring the school's hot water supply.
 
Please consider contributing to support this ministry and help them continue to provide essential services to those in need. Thank you for your generosity!

We are excited to share with you that your donations have made a significant impact at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Chicago. Last week, the LCC Human Care Ministry team team delivered a check to Pastor Cesar Sifuentes and Deaconess Elly Sifuentes that went towards their soup kitchen, where they serve over 100 people each day. The church also provides clothes, shoes, and other basic needs items at no cost to those in need.
 
With the increase in the number of people seeking assistance over the past few months, the church is grateful for your support and prayers. Together, we are able to share the mercy, compassion, presence, and proclamation of Jesus Christ to their community.
 
Thank you for your generosity and dedication to making a difference in the lives of those in need.

Rev. David Nelson, Interim Pastor, Saint Luke Church, Chicago, Illinois, is grateful for your financial assistance for Marcia and her family. Your support has made a significant difference in helping her maintain her property and financial stability.
 
Marcia and her family have been members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saint Luke in Chicago for over 60 years. She currently finds herself in a challenging financial situation and is struggling to meet the financial obligation of paying the first installment of her 2023 property taxes.
 
However, the current bill is more than her current resources allows her to handle. As someone who has always faithfully met her financial obligations throughout her life, does not want to fall behind on something as important as her property taxes.
 
It is her deepest desire to stay in her home but is fearful that she will not be able to
do so without, once again, calling on your gracious assistance.
 
Thank you for taking the time to consider her request
 
Sincerely,
 
Dr. David C. Nelson, Interim Pastor
Saint Luke Church, Chicago

We ask that you prayerfully consider donating to this cause and help make a difference in Marcia's life. Every donation counts and will go towards ensuring that Marcia and her family have a safe and stable home. Thank you for your generosity and compassion.

The LCC Human Care Ministry team collaborated with Pastor Todd Roberts at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Norridge, Illinois, to provide essential furniture for a disabled adult who recently moved into an independent living apartment.

We want to share a heartfelt thank you to individual donors and Junkluggers, who provided the furniture. We are also grateful to the volunteers who picked up and delivered the furniture.

Thank you for making Richard’s dream of having his apartment a reality.
