Winter, 1985 President MessageThis “welcome to the new year” message appeared 37 years ago in the “LSS News”newsletter. Then LSS President, Pastor Benjamin Gjenvick, quotes the Apostle Paul making it clear that LSS is setting a course towards achieving shared objectives. LSS today is focused on serving more people better. Like Pastor Gjenvick and our LSS colleagues from 1985, we are listening and will continue to co-create with our family of churches, individual supporters and volunteers to share our God-given gifts with the people who need us most.
History Fun Fact
The LSS budget in 1985 was $13 million…today it stands at $65 million.
We are at this point now because of the thousands of colleagues, donors, partners and friends – like you – who use their God-given gifts to serve. Thank you!
