One of our LPGSD ministry partners making a difference--give us a call if you'd like to know more about how your legacy can impact the lives of great kids like Keegan!

The best version of yourself is possible when you’re SAFE. Keegan is a good kid—bright, caring and trying his best to navigate a world that had started to feel unsafe inside his own mind. By seventh grade, the challenges he faced were bigger than what his family and school could manage alone. His family reached out to LSS for help and were connected with Canyon Hills Center, a residential treatment center for youth in Spearfish.

Grace is a unique piece of God’s creative energy: a lover of the outdoors, a part-owner of a ceramic shop, a juggler, and she even went to high school in the zoo!

Blessed to have been invited to spend time with senior pastors of the South Dakota Synod, and yet again reminded of what a compassionate, thoughtful, funny and faithful group of leaders we are so fortunate to have as shepherds of our church families.

I always appreciate the insights learned--this morning's conversation is share-worthy and most definitely connects to a life of generosity: "Take your everyday, ordinary life--your sleeping, eating, going to work, and walking around life--and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him." Roman's 12:1
