Sex.

Got your attention?

We’ll sizzle into the new year with a new series beginning January 8th on “Sex, Love, & Marriage.”  Whether you’re single, dating, married, divorced, or somewhere in-between, you’ll find applicable, gut-level-honest teaching from the Bible about what God actually says on the topics of our sexuality and relationships.  Content will be PG-13 in nature, so parents with younger children are encouraged to utilize the Kids’ Life groups for children younger than middle school.

Can you balance 5 wooden baby blocks on your head?

The whole church family is invited out for a fun night on Friday, February 17th, as we present the LCC edition of “Minute to Win It.”  All our cell groups will help sponsor a night where you might get a chance to participate for some really cool prizes, or just live vicariously through others who take on the challenge to stack 4 golf balls, bounce ping pong balls into cups, or balance six dice on a popsicle stick in your mouth.  Watch the weekly Sunday programs for details on time and childcare, but mark your calendar now to join everybody and maybe bring a friend on Feb. 17th.

Spreading the message of Christ world-wide

Brenda Artrip returned from a trip to Africa in December, and you can see a great video about the impact God made through her team here.  

Mike and Sandi Miller will depart January 6th for a medical missions trip among Aids-sufferers in Ethiopia.  See more about what they’ll be doing and how you can participate and pray here.  

Hallie Miller is raising support to head long-term to Africa with Story Runners, an amazing ministry you can read more about here.  To help Hallie financial support-wise, contact her here.  

Pray for all the efforts of LCC’ers as they respond to the call of God to share the good news of Christ to those who have never heard.

And while you’re at it, are you considering trying a short-term missions trip in 2012?  A great place to look into it is with our friends at e3 Partners—check out the possibilities here.

Save the Date(s)

You’re going to hear a lot about this in the next couple months, but for now, we’re inviting every adult attendee of LCC to clear a couple dates, and plan to be part of one of the most important events of the coming year.  After Easter, as part of a significant church-wide emphasis, we’ll have a Men’s Summit the weekend of April 20-21, and a Women’s Summit two weekends later, May 4-5.  Both will be overnight, Friday-Saturday retreat-type settings, and we’re working to make the cost as affordable as possible.  For now, mark your calendar, and stay tuned for all the details.

Turbo Training begins January 10th

If you would like to learn more about Cell Groups: the what, they why and the how—then join us for Turbo Training, Tuesday nights January 10,17 and 24 at the building.  This is a great opportunity for people who think they might like to help facilitate a Cell Group in the future, or if you are a core member of a group and just want to learn more how to make a cell group great.  Please contact Rick Tawney to get signed up.
