Online Option for Donating to Chapel Offerings
If adults would like to donate to charities that our students support through their chapel offerings, that can now be done online by clicking on the link
here
.
We encourage students to continue to bring their chapel offerings to place in the plate or box during chapel, as this is a tangible way for them to learn about stewardship and supporting God's work in His Kingdom.
Each month during the school year a different charity receives 100 percent of chapel offerings collected. The charities for the remainder of the school year are listed below.
- Jan. – LCC Comfort Dogs Human-care and compassion ministry utilizing specially trained purebred Golden Retrievers.
- Feb. – Adopt-A-Student at Concordia Seminary Financial support for a future Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod pastor.
- Mar. – Hearts for Jesus/Lutheran Heritage Foundation Translates and distributes Bibles, Luther’s Small Catechism, and Bible stories in more than 100 languages.
- Apr. – Voice of Hope Ministry to inmates at Stateville Correctional Center in Crest Hill, Illinois.
- May – Phil’s Friends Provides support and hope to those affected by cancer.
