This Boss’s Day is a little extra special. 💙

As Ted Goins prepares to retire in March 2027, we’re celebrating his final Boss’s Day as LSC president and CEO. We’re grateful for his years of leadership, his heart for LSC’s mission, and the lasting impact he has made on our teammates and those we serve.

Happy Boss’s Day, Ted! Thank you for leading with heart, purpose, and a commitment to serving others.

Collaboration and learning across states!

Recently, our LSC New Americans Program Columbia office welcomed two supervisors from Lutheran Services in Iowa through a Global Refuge director mentorship program. As an experienced leader in refugee resettlement, LSC South Carolina Director of the New Americans Program, Seth Hershberger, served as a mentor, giving the visitors an opportunity to shadow teammates in the field, connect with service coordinators, and exchange ideas on leadership and client support.

Together, we're strengthening our ability to serve New Americans and build thriving communities.

LSC's Trinity Village - A Senior Care Community and Trinity Ridge - A Senior Care Community were grateful for the opportunity to meet with Kevin Costello, Constituent Representative for Congressman Pat Harrigan, to discuss the needs of the people we are honored to serve.

Conversations like these are so important to Trinity Village, Trinity Ridge, and Lutheran Services Carolinas. Advocacy means ensuring the voices, needs, and experiences of our residents are heard and understood by those who shape policies that affect their lives.

We appreciate Kevin taking the time to listen, learn, and engage with us as we continue working together to advocate for the people we serve.

Prost!

LSC teammates had another successful year at Oktoberfest Columbia at Incarnation Lutheran! South Carolina Development Officer Sarah Quinney, Director of Development Emily Dubay, Director of Communications Erin Kidd, and LSC New Americans Program South Carolina Outreach Coordinator Sarah Lewis represented LSC at the event.

Fun was had, pretzels were eaten, and information about LSC was provided. LSC receives proceeds from the event that help support our many programs!

A big thank you to the congregations and all the important work we do together!
