Dorthea Crenshaw

I called on behalf of an elderly friend because the Government of the District of Columbia was trying to take her home. She was a District resident who worked for the federal government for 47 years. She had a stroke at work and has had to stay with family while she recovers. Notices about her property had been sent to her dead mother. LCFTE did an intake interview with her and assigned an attorney to go to court with her the next day. She was so relieved and thankful for the help they provided to her. I’m truly grateful for their helping my friend.

I was introduced to their Gospel Choir when I was a student at Georgetown 30 years ago. I visited the church and I have always found it to be warm and welcoming. The sermons are thought provoking and the prayers address what is happening in the world in a meaningful way. The church has navigated the pandemic in a responsible way. Recently an individual experienced a medical crisis, and the love and care expressed by everyone present was what true Christianity looks like.
