Serving our Community
Where can you get plugged in at LCC?
These opportunities offer countless ways you can serve God by serving your neighbor, your church family, or your community!
In Pinellas County the Meals on Wheels program is administered through the Neighborly Care Network LCC has committed to a one day a week meal delivery schedule.
LCC regularly teams with the City of Saint Petersburg’s Neighborhood Team (N-Team) to assist elderly or disabled homeowners. Events are scheduled on a Saturday morning and dates are published on the website, in email blasts, and announced during service.
Each September LCC has an opportunity to participate iwith our ELCA community. The second Sunday in September is “God’s Work Our Hands” Sunday. It is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the ELCA and dedicate one day to serve communities in ways that share the love of God with all people.

Each year many foster youth turn 18 years old and “age out” of the foster care system in Pinellas County, regardless of ability or resources. Ready For Life is an organization that supports the material and emotional needs of these young adults. During the Christmas season LCC supports Ready for Life through our Angel Tree gifts.
