Our outreach project for LSSM's Heartline during the month of December will be providing Christmas gifts for the children of the residents. Please see the giving tree in the Harms Fireside Room if you wish to donate an unwrapped gift for a child.
Please keep the staff and residents of this branch of LSSM in your prayers this month.
A Prayer for Heartline
Merciful and gracious God,
We ask that send your peace to the residents of Heartline,
help them live in unity, sobriety and health
as they seek to walk a new path with you.
We pray that you strengthen them as they seek new employment and living arrangements.
We pray that others will show your love and forgiveness
as the women seek to build new relationships
or restore and repair broken relationships.
We pray that you strengthen the staff of Heartline
and provide your wisdom, patience and peace to them
as they work to support others and show them the light of your love.
We know that we all fall short of your glory
and through the power of the resurrection of your son Jesus,
we are able to seek a new life with You.
We pray that the women of Heartline may know your saving grace through Jesus Christ.
May they be empowered through your Holy Spirit,
Restored by grace to begin a fresh, new life in Christ.
We ask this in your name. Amen

This month the focus in our partnership in ministry with Lutheran Social Services of Michigan is Heartline. Heartline is a residential program for women leaving the federal prison system and need assistance with rebuliding their lives. Heartline provides psychosocial support, employment assistance, transportation and securing living arrangements.
