In Our Prayers

On this holiday weekend, we pray for our country. May we all seek to be good neighbors to our fellow Americans. May our elected leaders act as true servants of the public, working in the best interest of all the people of our land. And may we all live up to the high ideals of democracy that our forebears worked so hard to establish and defend.

We offer our prayers for healing and strength to Chuck Marboe and his wife Bonnie. Chuck has recently been hospitalized in Chicago, Illinios

Lori Godwin asks for prayers for:
Matt Miller, her cousin who has fallen ill while serving as an engineer on a commercial vessel at sea. May he get the care he needs and recover quickly.
Harry, the son of her friend Jane, who continues to battle significant health issues.

This August,

Compassion Camp 2025: Changing the World with Loving-Kindness is just around the corner with a record 42 campers!

We need YOU to help make it the best week of the summer!

Whether you're a master of crafts, a snack-time superstar, a game guru, or just someone who loves seeing kids grow in faith, joy, and compassion, there's a place for you here. There is no advanced preparation, and you can help as little or as much as your schedule allows - a few hours, just one day, or more -- please join us!

What we love the most about LAC is the love that you all have for its children, so together let’s continue to live out our promise to be active participants in building a community where children are nurtured and loved!

August is a difficult time to muster volunteers. Midnight Run is seeking the following volunteers:

8 kids or adults to help prep supplies at 4PM. This is a great family activity for kids as young as 8.

6 teens to travel with the adult drivers
2 volunteers to each make 1.5 gallons of pasta salad.
