Preschoolers gather around “Lizzie,” a K-9 Comfort Dog (in training) from Lutheran Church Charities, after an April 3 worship service at Martin Luther High School in Northrop, Minn. The service was the first for members of St. James Evangelical Lutheran Church, Northrop, since a March 30 fire destroyed the church building. (Lutheran Church Charities)
