This Sunday’s readings tell of God’s amazing grace.
 
Lutheran Social Services’ flagship program, Homme Youth & Family Programs, is an expression of God’s unfailing love and grace.
 
This residential treatment center, located in Wittenberg, Wisconsin, welcomes and serves male youth and adolescents who are traumatized, struggling, and in danger of entering the adult criminal justice system.
 
Homme Youth & Family Programs offers care, compassion and a promise to help them change their lives. 

Congregation Resources include:

Celebrating the Loving Lutherans Challenge

A Word of Thanks from Héctor Colón, President and CEO of LSS

Schedule an LSS Sunday

While any Sunday of the year can be an “LSS Sunday,” we’ve identified 10 Sundays in 2026 where the Revised Common Lectionary readings offer an especially fitting opportunity to highlight your congregation’s partnership with Lutheran Social Services and to thank members for their generous giving that makes a life-changing impact for neighbors.
