Happy New Year ... and Welcome "HOME"!
In case you missed last Sunday's sermon (the final sermon of 2017), here it is for you to view and to share.
This Sunday, I will continue in our winter preaching theme - "HOME." Senior Pastor Jeff Hoffmeyer began this series Christmas Eve by reminding us that in Jesus' birth, "the Word became flesh and dwelt (lived/made his home) among us" (John 1:14). Pastor Kristin Leucht expanded this by noting Jesus' exhortation to "build our house (HOME) on rock" by hearing and doing Christ's word (Matthew 7:24). Sunday we will look at John 14:15-24, where Jesus makes a truly life-changing promise about the HOME of God.
We are back to our regular 3 worship services at 7:55, 9:25 & 11:00AM and, on this Epiphany weekend; we will Celebrate the Lord's Supper in all 3 services. Hope to see you there. Bring a friend ... and welcome them "HOME."
PS ... A number of you have asked how we concluded the year financially. At this time, our receipts for 2017 are $2,411,471 . Once again, we give great thanks to you and God for your generous gifts of time, talent and treasure for the ministry of Christ at LCPC.
Pray and Love, in Christ,
Chuck Osburn, Associate Pastor
