Help Wanted

Looking for a way to use your sewing skills to serve others? We are looking for you! We need one person (or more) willing to sew children's costumes for our annual Christmas program. Our current costumes were glued together! We also need new elastic sewn on our cot sheets. If you can assist, please use the "contact us" link at the Lutheran Day web site. Thank you.

Community Service Project

To help the senior residents of Lexington Health Care Center in Chicago Ridge celebrate Christmas and meet a practical need, the children in Ms. Bennett's classroom collected athletic socks and turned them into snowmen. All together, they made over 75 snowmen to distribute. "The children not only have fun," said Ms. Bennett. "They also gain fine motor skills rolling the socks to form the parts of the snowmen." With so many nursing home residents alone at the holidays, giving a small gift reminds them of God's love and care.

Food Collection

Our 3 and 4 year olds collected cans of food for a local food pantry during the month of November. A total of 57 cans were donated. Children designed special labels for the canned goods to share the message of God's love. The children also learned counting and sorting skills in the process.
