LPC Open House and Nativity

Once again we will have a live Nativity this Saturday December 3rd, from 6 - 8:30 p.m. We will have live animals, including donkeys, sheep, and alpacas.

We will also have an Open House, between 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m., with the Sanctuary open, and an opportunity for all to stop in for refreshments and break before and after the Carriage Parade in downtown Lebanon. This serves as an excellent opportunity to connect with the community as well.

Giving Tree

Our church is happy to participate in the Elizabeth’s New Life Center Giving Tree Project to benefit The Lebanon Women's Center, a pro-life, non-profit pregnancy resource center that helps women to navigate unexpected pregnancies.

The consultants at the center encourage each mother to choose life for her child, providing her with assistance in her spiritual, material, educational, and medical needs. These material needs include baby clothes, diapers, wipes, bottles, and many other essential infant care items. We ask that your family shares the joy of Christmas by donating an item listed on the Giving Tree ornament of your choice or wish list provided. The items do not need to be gift-wrapped; they are used to help those in need throughout the year. Please return your donated item to the church by December 14, 2022. For more information please contact: Melody Bain 513-260-6041 or Maggie O’Bryon 513-426-2435 or at admin@lebanonpresbyterian.org.

Angel Tree

Share the hope of Jesus with a child in our community as we deliver a Christmas present and a personal message of love on behalf of their loved one in prison. It starts with a gift and opens the door for year-round ministry opportunities.

We still have 36 children waiting to be selected by clicking on the link below and donating $25 which will be used to purchase a gift card for the child of your choice. 

If you chose a tag from our Angel Tree trees – Thank you! The families will start picking up the gifts on Saturday, December 10 so please have your wrapped gift (with the Angel Tree tag) to the office by Friday, December 9. Office hours are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday – Thursday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday. We can also make other arrangements if these times are not convenient. 

If you have any questions or would like to hear of other ways you can help with this wonderful ministry, please contact Sherry Showalter at sherry@lebanonpresbyterian.org or 513-932-2751.
