Pizza will be served for an additional $1 per slice. You must register and pay online to reserve a spot for your children, so sign up today. CLICK HERE to register now.

WHAT'S HAPPENING AT LCC!

Hey! Hope your week is going well.  We have a lot of things going on at LCC and we want to make sure that you are aware of all the details.

MISSION TRIP to Atlanta - This Friday to Sunday, Pastor Joe will be taking a team to Atlanta to work with a Christian agency called the Dream Center.  Their work in the Old Fourth Ward (Martin Luther King's original neighborhood), will include ministering to kids, the homeless and hungry, drug addicts, and everything in between.  Please be in prayer for our team while they are away.  

DATE NIGHT IS BACK - March 3 from 6 to 9 pm.  Take advantage of this great, low cost opportunity to get out while your children are in a safe place. CLICK HERE for details.  

MARRIAGE & PARENTING BIBLE STUDIES ARE STARTING!  Beginning March 19 to April 23 we are offering two short-term Bible studies relating to Marriage and Parenting issues. 

"Who Did You Really Marry?" reveals how even opposites can get along, communicate, and resolve disagreements, and explains the five "love languages" that bring couples closer. You and your spouse will discover how two very different people can "become one" as God intended.

"Ten Building Blocks for a Solid Family" gives parents practical advice and tools to live, laugh, love and play better as a family.

Both classes ($15 per couple each) will meet at church on Monday nights from 6:30-8:00 pm. The classes start on March 19, and run through April 23.  Child care will be provided for $5.00 per child for each week (maximum $10 per family).  CLICK HERE for more information and to sign up.

CREATIVE ART WALL EXHIBIT AND RECEPTION: ARTISTS WANTED

We are seeking art for our next showing on March 25.  The theme is Easter/Spring time related and called "Rebirth."  CLICK HERE for more information.  We would love to see how you would express "Rebirth" creatively.

LCC BUILD TEAM - Before & After; PLUS: ARE YOU READY FOR BELIZE?

Missions on a quarter tank (or less) of gas

 

Our LowCountry Build Team traveled about a mile from the church and spent last week honoring God and blessing a local family.  Because you give and through the the Team's hard work, we were able to complete 25 various repair/remodel projects.  The house was structurally sound but had many safety and repair issues that had to be fixed for this 78 year old widow.  Her children, were also very helpful, and are so happy for their mom.  Here are a few 'Before/After' pics

 

We had an amazing Team (not all pictured) and local merchants were unbelievably generous with materials.  To God be the Glory!!   The next Build Team is mid-May.

BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING - LCC BUILD TEAM IS WORKING WONDERS!

The LCC Build Team is working wonders locally this week as they change the life (and house) of a  78 year-old widow that has spent days on end volunteering at Bluffton Self-Help.  As she has served others, her house has fallen into great disrepair. 

This week it has been our great privilege to radically upgrade her house and give her a safe, remodeled home.  Additionally, Covert Air is volunteering their services and equipment to give her all new heating and air conditioning systems.  Isn't that awesome?  In this post, we are showing you a few "before" pictures as we work to:

 

-Repair rotten exterior wood

- Rewire electrical (interior and exterior)

-Paint exterior

-Build and screen-in front porch

- Install motion sensor lights around exterior

- Landscape and correct drainage issues

-New kitchen counters, sink, and repaint cabinets

- New interior doors and door handles

-New vinyl floors

-New bathroom toilet and flooring

-Roof repair

-Brush and tree removal

- and on and on….

All this is possible because of the skills and hard work of the LCC Build Team, YOUR generous giving and a God who provides and cares for His people.  Much of the material has been donated (for which we are very grateful),  but YOU gave all the rest when you give at LCC.  Thank you!  Stay tuned for some "after" photos next week.  

 

BUMPER CROP COLLECTION THIS SUNDAY!

Don't forget to bring your filled grocery bag this Sunday for our Bumper Crop food drive. Your donation goes far in helping a lot of people right in our community in Jesus' name.  If you didn't get a bag, feel free to bring one from home.  Every little bit helps.  Thank you!

This Sunday at LCC!

LOSE THE WEIGHT OF INSECURITY!

Do you ever tell yourself that you are something less than others around you, or have doubts about your life? Then join us Sunday, as Pastor Jeff takes on insecurity and explains why you don't have to go through life doubting your worth, or place in God's plan. "Lose the Weight of Insecurity" - 9:00 and 10:45 am at LCC this Sunday.

ELDER INSTALLATION - We are pleased to inform you that we will officially install John Hastilow as one of our Elders this Sunday.  New Elders are selected by a unanimous vote of all current members of the Board of Elders in accordance with the rules under which LCC operates.  (Come to the Connect Class for all the details)

John was nominated, reviewed and selected late last year, but the calendar has limited our opportunity to conduct the public commissioning.  We are so pleased to finally have opportunity to properly celebrate this occasion in our church's life.   Please welcome John (pictured here with his wife Rebekah and daughters Caroline and Jocelyn) to our Board of Elders when you see him!
