Working Together to Support Mission
For over 30 years, early childhood centers and K-12 schools in the Southeastern District have partnered in supporting a special project we call “Hearts for Jesus.”
Simply stated, the 65+ Lutheran school ministries in the SED designate the chapel offerings for the month of February (or whatever time you choose) to support a ministry somewhere beyond our borders. We are partnering this year with the schools from the Florida Georgia District as well!
Give hope and help to children in Ukraine. The 2023-2024 Hearts for Jesus project will raise money for food packets for children and families in Ukraine.
2022-2023 Hurricane Ian Relief
WHEN HURRICANE IAN HIT, AND HELP WAS NEEDED, YOU RESPONDED. THANK YOU!
Thank you to the many ministry partners, including LCMS Disaster Response, who have provided funds, labor, and supplies. Disaster response involves more than meeting physical needs. Thank you to the Registered Service Organizations of the LCMS who have provided spiritual and emotional care.
Disaster response is ongoing, and your continued support will help change lives.
