ANNUAL REP RT 2013
BEY ND 100 YEARS! Dear Friends, Beyond a hundred years. LSS is officially past the hundred year mark. As we look to the future, and hopefully to another hundred years and beyond, I am reminded of 2 Peter 3:8. But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. What a humbling notion. While we are proud that our agency has been able to live out our mission for so long, our work always begins anew. And as God has continuously been the protector of the sick, poor, outcast and others in need, so we at LSS strive to express by word and deed a portion of that special love God has for those we serve each and every day. During the fiscal year covered in this annual report, we were blessed to be able to expand our services to include home health care. LSS Home Health Care provides necessary services from the comfort of one s own home with an emphasis on treating the patient with the utmost dignity and respect. We also were able to relocate the Faith Mission administrative offices, community kitchen and clinics to a building more suited to our needs. Finally, this past fiscal year saw the addition of a new mobile food pantry stop to our route in Malta, Ohio, meaning more food is now available to hungry families with few other options. As always, these program expansions, as well as continuing on with all our other services, are not possible without God s grace and the dedicated support of our faithful donors and volunteers He sends our way. Each year at annual report time, I am always amazed with the thousands upon thousands of supporters we have that allow this agency to continue running. Candidly, without your support and care, we could not begin to do what we do. So while our hundred years may not compare with the thousands of years, our thousands of supporters certainly widely reflect God s love for all of us and make an impact in our world. Thank you for your support, and I hope over the next year and into the future we are able to continue fulfilling LSS mission of creating a better world by serving people in need and all to God s glory. With sincerest thanks, The Rev. Larry A. Crowell President and CEO 1
