Last Sunday Was Awesome

LCC People are incredible. Last Sunday was a most amazing day. We started off the day with a couple of God-filled worship services. All morning I saw God move in our worship times and in the hearts of the people in attendance. We tried something new. Instead of waiting for the warm summer weather and baptizing in a pool, we borrowed a portable baptismal and in the second service we baptized six life committed Christ-followers. It was a very special and moving time for the baptizees and those of us who watched and celebrated with them. As I stood next to the first to get baptized and we finished singing our last worship song of the morning, I was so overcome with the presence of God and the emotion that accompanied it, I wondered if I could even speak. I heard from several others the same report of such a strong presence of God as His children gathered and honored His Son Jesus through believer's baptism. God you are so good. Thank you for your many blessings. Please pray for the spiritual growth of the newly committed followers of Jesus.

I don't know who loved the block party the most Sunday night, the kids or the adults. Our block party was a huge success. Thanks to the volunteers and your LCC staff, our first block party ran like a well oiled machine. It was incredible. The LCC family had a great time serving and hanging out together while the guests from our community were served food and candy and fun for their kids. Morgan and her band entertained in the cafe and it gave us a great feel of what our future coffee house ministry will be. I talked to many guests and they were having a great time and thankful for the event. We think we probably had about 500-600 people throughout the night. At one time there were about 200 cars in the parking lot.

John the apostle wrote: No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love has been brought to full expression through us. 1 John 4:12

I thank God always that I am surrounded by God's love with skin. Thanks to the LCC family and to our friends who pray for and support God's ministry at LCC.
