Need A Friend? Be A Friend!
LSS Better Together Program helps people 65 and older maintain or reinvigorate connections. We match older adults called a “Neighbor,” with a trained volunteer.
Neighbors and their assigned volunteers meet four hours a month to share a meal, go to a play, visit a park, watch a movie or grab a coffee and chat, among other activities.
If you want to meet a new friend, consider being a part of the LSS Better Together Program.
LSS staff will meet with you and get an idea of your interests and needs before matching you with a volunteer.
Call us at 605-444-7803 to get started.

Toilet Paper Drive
It is the kick off to our annual toilet paper drive for Necessities for Neighbors! Please bring toilet paper to the church office before Sunday, Feb. 2. Last year, each family received a full package, versus having to repackage it into 4 & 6 rolls groups! In 2024, we filled up Pastor Tim’s truck and 3 mini vans!
Lutheran Outdoors Needs Our Help!
We have been asked to put a work team together to head out to Klein Ranch Bible Camp from May 22 to 25, 2025 to get it fixed up and ready to re-open for campers. This multi-generational servant trip would:
- Work during the day (plumbing, carpentry, general cleaning)
- Fish Jake’s dam before supper!
- ampfires at night.
- Senior High youth on up…
- NO COST to go!
- We will cook our own meals (a cook along would nice!)
- 12-15 workers. Sign up on youth bulletin board
