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.

Help With Wildfire Relief 

As you know, over the last week, multiple wildfires have broken out across Los Angeles County in California, destroying homes, businesses and leading to injuries and tragic loss of life. Lutheran Disaster Response is coordinating with the Southwest California Synod and Pacifica Synod to assess the needs of people impacted by the wildfires. We will work with them to address immediate needs and assist with recovery efforts for months and years to come. If you would like to help, please consider giving to LDR by writing a check and placing in in our offering plates at our Saturday or Sunday morning, worship services, just place them in the offering plates as well. You can also give on line directly by going to Lutheran Disaster Response


Toilet Paper Drive

Please bring toilet paper to the church office before Sunday, Feb. 2. 

Volunteers are needed for the Necessities for Neighbors on Sunday, Feb. 2 at 2 p.m. at Peace Lutheran Church. We will distribute the toilet paper that we have collected during January, as well as other hygiene items.  Sign up at the Welcome Center!  We should be done by 4:30 p.m.


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
