PERMANENTLY DEPLOYED SERVING THE SAINTS
Romans 5:5, "And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us."
LCC’s mission is to share the Mercy, Compassion, Presence, and Proclamation of Jesus Christ to those who are suffering and in need. Our staff, dedicated affiliates, and many volunteers are blessed to be a presence with others alongside our beautiful LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs.
It is with great sadness that we share with you today that Ladel Comfort Dog, who is placed at St. Matthew Lutheran Church and School in Hawthorn Woods, Illinois, is “permanently deployed serving the saints” and joins the ranks of the other comfort dogs that have been permanently deployed before her.
St. Matthew will hold a Celebration of Service immediately following their first worship service on Sunday, November 10th, beginning approximately at 9:00am. Everyone is invited to help them remember and celebrate Ladel’s life of service to others.
In the midst of our sadness, we praise God for the gifts He gave to Ladel and for the time He has given us with her. We pray that God will now comfort her team at St. Matthew and all those who will miss her daily presence.
