INCLEMENT WEATHER REMINDER
In the event of inclement weather on a Sunday morning, the church office will send an email and a text to members and regular attenders as soon as a decision is made to adjust the worship schedule. We will also post the change clearly on the home page of the website and on our Facebook page. If you would like to opt in to receive text messages concerning schedule changes such as these, please visit lmpc.org/access.
Our general policy in response to inclement weather on
Sunday morning is the following:
  • No 8:10 a.m. worship service
  • No nursery or Sunday school
  • 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. worship services will take place in the fellowship hall and sanctuary.
Other scheduled events for Sunday including evening prayer will be addressed as soon as possible.
CRISIS SUPPORT
LMPC seeks to be a church in which members and friends can safely address the hardest issues they might face. In this fallen and broken world, trials from marital problems to personal crises are best born together in a community of rooted faith and rich spiritual friendships. If life seems especially harsh, please ask for help, and contact one of our pastors through the church office or via lmpc.org/pastors.
EYEGLASS DONATIONS
Thank you  to all who have donated eyeglasses to Crosslink Ministry, which distributes them on medical short-term missions trips.
