Make a Difference: LCR’s 2023 Impact Report
The pictures and stories in this post represent a small portion of the amazing work God does through the people of LCR every single week to make a positive difference in the lives of thousands locally and around the globe! Thank you for your generosity and your commitment to bring heaven to earth!
Elizabeth Inn
LCR is on the rotation to prepare and serve meals monthly at the Elizabeth Inn. We collect dry food all year long to keep the food pantry at MUST well stocked and also help with a Sunday Supper and Sunday Celebration on occasion. Thank you to Dana Jelinek for leading this team and to everyone who has volunteered.
Sharing Support
We share a good deal of time and abilities with our mission partners and it is also a joy to share some of our financial resources in support of these organizations.
This year, some of our financial gifts were shared with Brumby Elementary, Grace House Campus Ministry, and Good Samaritan Ministry
Knitters for Peace and the LCR Blanketeers
Knitters for Peace and the LCR Blanketeers have crafted many blankets and hand-knit items for children in the hospital and people in need of warmth. Hundreds of families have been impacted by this ministry just this year!
YELLS
Youth Empowerment through Learning, Leading, and Serving, Inc. (YELLS) empowers youth to rise as active, healthy, and productive servant-leaders within their communities. LCR supports the work of this organization on Franklin Gateway.
The Promise Garden
The Promise Garden ministry has provided more than 1,000 pounds of fresh produce to Community Assistance Center and hosted a donation drive to help stock their Sandy Spring’s market this fall.’
Habitat for Humanity
Our work with Habitat for Humanity isn’t slowing down anytime soon. From volunteering with the Taste of Habitat fundraiser and working at building sites, LCR is a constant supporter of the mission of Habitat.
International Efforts
We are continuing our partnership with the Lutheran Church in Guatemala and the amazing work they do through the MILAGRO Women’s Center providing needed education and assistance. We once again hosted a gathering this fall to raise funds for this work.
Sunday School
Our Sunday School kids discovered the fun of serving others while packing MUST Blessings Bags for unhoused people.
MUST Toy Shop
Our annual donation drive for the MUST Toy Shop just wrapped up with 62 bags of toys and gifts for kids 0-18.

The Mary and Martha Bible Study has packed hundreds of care packages for Special Needs Cobb group homes this year. Thanks also to those who delivered these bags…in costume or not!

Our Shepherd’s Staff ministry provides visits to our homebound members and care for those in the midst of life transitions.
You can make a difference!
