Maggie's Comfort Corner
As part of a project coordinated with other comfort dog teams, Maggie's team made and sent 100 Maggie Christmas cards to ardent comfort dog supporters.  Each recipient received Christmas cards from dozens of comfort dogs.  We've received some heartwarming thank you notes, especially from those who were having difficult times and these cards brought them much cheer.  
 
This is another example of how Newtown Comfort touches the lives of even those well beyond our local community.
 
 We look forward to a new year of opportunities to share Christ’s compassion and presence with the help of a well-trained, friendly, soft dog.

LCC COMFORT DOGS-    
LCC Deployments in CA and FL Updates 
Shooting - Fires - Hurricane Michael  
Only in the arms of God is there a safe place!  
 
"God is our safe place and our strength. 
He is always our help when we are in trouble."   
Psalm 46:1
  
Lutheran Church Charities is currently on multiple Disaster and Crisis Response deployments in California (mass shooting and fires) and in Florida (Hurricane Michael). The California deployment for the shootings is now also serving all the families displaced from their homes because of the fires happening right now - and we are in the middle of it. 

There is still widespread devastation in Panama City, Florida, and our Disaster Response LERT volunteers are on the ground this week to do chainsaw work, tarping roofs, and anything that needs to be done to help those who are still not in their homes from Hurricane Michael. In addition, the semi-truck is arriving today with food and other critical items donated to help the 6,000 individuals each week that Trinity is serving.
 
We PUT and KEEP boots and paws on the ground to be with people who are suffering! Please keep everyone in California and Florida in your prayers - as in both places we are serving people who have been traumatized.
