Spirit of Giving at LCC
Despite some of the hardships facing our LCC community, it is nice to see that the spirit of giving is as strong as ever for those in need. The giving for hurricane assistance this year surpassed the donations for assistance after Hurricane Idalia, in spite of the fact that many of our givers had themselves […]
Sharing the Good News
Sharing the Good News! So of course, you’re going to invite your family to Christmas Eve services, right? We will offer two Christmas Eve services, the Family Friendly service at 4:30 pm and the Traditional Worship at 7:00 pm. But this year, why not consider expanding your circle of invitees to include getting the word […]
Women’s Christmas Candlelight Dinner
Ladies, are you looking for a special night out? Why not join us for the Women’s Candlelight Dinner on Thursday, December 12 from 6-8 p.m. in the Church Narthex (lobby)? This Scandinavian-themed dinner started several years ago to celebrate St. Lucia Day, which is December 13. The legend of St. Lucia takes place in […]
Preparing for Christ(mas)
This Sunday, we return to the season of Advent, which we celebrate as the weeks before Christmas that anticipate the coming of Christ into our world and into our lives. As much as our focus is on preparing for the commemoration of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem, perhaps our focus this year might turn toward, not […]
V2A Grant for Family Worship
Our church is once again the recipient of a grant from the Florida-Bahamas Synod Vision-to-Action program. V2A was launched in 2023 as the granting program of the Florida-Bahamas Synod to fund innovative new ministries focused on intentional evangelism and growing new faith communities. V2A supports “out-of-the-box,” new ways of being church in a rapidly changing […]
On the Way to Bethlehem
For the past several years, we’ve been Journeying Through Bethlehem. This year’s hurricanes forced us to pause hosting that event, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get ready for Advent. Because after all, you can’t Journey Through Bethlehem unless you first get on the road. So this year we will begin our Advent journey to […]
All Saints Day
From Pastor Lisa’s Desk: All Saints Day – A Day for Hope As many of you know, I grew up as a Roman Catholic, so celebrating All Saints Day on November 1 always included going to Mass. The next day also got celebrated as All Souls Day, although we didn’t have to go to Mass. […]
Remediation Progress Report
We are happy to announce that the remediation for affected areas from hurricane Helene will be completed next week. Rebuilding will begin soon after that. We were lucky to have a remediation company that started within days after Helene and only stopped working one day for hurricane Milton. Work on the Fellowship Hall will begin […]
Church Update
Because the power is still out and the city is under a boil water restriction, we reluctantly must cancel services this Sunday. But rest assured, the power of Christ will never go out, and his living waters will revive and restore us. Last Sunday, we sort of rebranded ourselves as “LCC, Living Connected in Christ”, […]
Hurricane Helene Relief
Ways to help: First, PRAY! Second, just as we did after Hurricane Idalia, we are establishing a fund to help our LCC and Day School families in need from Helene. We raised over $20,000 for Idalia victims in our neighborhoods. The damage from this storm is much greater, so we hope to surpass that amount […]
