2026 Synod Assembly In-Kind Offering

2026 Synod Assembly In-Kind Offering:  Supporting Lutheran Social Services of Illinois 

We had the privilege of hosting Mark Stutrud, President/CEO of Lutheran Social Services of Illinois (LSSI) on Sunday, May 17, to hear his message on John 17:1-11 and the good works LSSI does in partnership with our Church.

Learn more about LSSI at www.lssi.org We have another opportunity to contribute to LSSI as individuals in conjunction with the Thirty-Eighth Annual Northern Illinois Synod Assembly taking place on June 12-13 in Rock Island, IL. This can be done from the comfort of your home.

This year, our Synod’s in-kind offering will support the vital work of LSSI. One of those ways to give is by participating in the Mindful Giving effort where donors purchase items from a dedicated Wishlist curated by LSSI staff, and the items will be shipped directly to LSSI. These items support many important LSSI programs, and the Wishlist is updated regularly based on current, urgent needs.

How to Donate

• Go to giftlist.lssi.org to shop the Wishlist. Please be sure to add Shepherd of the Prairie as your organization name at checkout so the Synod can track and celebrate our church’s generosity!
