CIY: MIX

LFCC will be taking a group of 6th-8th graders to CIY: MIX on July 11th-15th.

“MIX is a four-day summer event specifically designed for students in sixth, seventh and eighth grades. It is intentionally crafted in ways that will engage middle school students through tactile, interactive and fun activities coupled with Bible-based teaching and small group interaction. MIX is an event that understands middle school students need their own experience. This age group is at a unique time in their lives – they’re growing and learning different than any other age group. They’re still young enough to need to play, but old enough to start understanding some core ideals that will stay with them the rest of their lives.”

LFCC students can register for mix at this link: https://lfcc.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/1193968

Please call the church office or email hwy111@peopletogod.com for more information.

“Students at MOVE not only learn and worship together – they spend quality time with their church youth groups, discovering ways that God will use them to impact the world. MOVE is more than just another conference or camp – it’s an experience! It’s an all-inclusive event providing food, lodging, recreational activities and an amazing program.”

The cost is $275 per student with discounts for children in same household. Full payment is due by 07/10.

 The theme this year comes from Galatians 2:20. 

“Students will discover the incredible hope of giving up control. They will hear the hope filled call of Jesus to follow Him at all costs nevertheless allowing Him to truly live through them.“

Cancelled: 2020 Community Thanksgiving Dinner

After much consideration, we unfortunately have to announce the cancellation of this year’s Free Community Thanksgiving Dinner.

For the past several years, members of our Church and the Greene County community have joined forces to produce as many as 1,500 free, home-cooked Thanksgiving meals for our local residents.

Due to health concerns associated with COVID-19, we feel that for the safety of our community it’s best we cancel the large format Thanksgiving dinner.

Stay tuned for announcements on how you can continue to serve God and our community through other projects.

Keep praying… keep loving God… keep loving people…and keep sharing Jesus!

Embassy Men meetings equip men to practically apply the tenets of our scripture-based mission statement.

Teaching and application opportunities will focus on our role as Christ’s Ambassadors in our families, community, nation, and world. Topics are specifically designed to equip MEN, and meetings will include opportunities for men to be Christ’s hands and feet by engaging in mission opportunities.

Meetings are on Sundays from 6:45-8:00 pm in the Sanctuary.

Lifetouch Pictures-Postponed

Updated: Message from Lifetouch-

As you know, our team was so excited to return to churches and begin photographing congregations again. 

Unfortunately, however, as the situation with COVID-19 continues to evolve, we have determined that it’s in the best interest of our business and our teams to put all Lifetouch Church Photography programs on hold for the time being. 

I apologize, but this means that we will have to postpone your photography program. 

We’re not sure when we will be able to resume photography programs – but photographing your congregation is really important to us.  

When our staff returns to work and we reopen our church photography programs, we’ll be in touch with you directly to get your church back on our schedule – and the photography program back on your church’s schedule – as quickly as possible.   

Stay safe and Be well.

Online Prayer Meeting – Wednesday, August 11th

Thanks for joining us tonight! Welcome to Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting.
Jim Stahl will be hosting the live prayer meeting this week.

 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
Hebrews 1:1-4 | NIV |

The live video will be posted below at 5:50pm. You can also visit our Facebook page to access the live prayer meeting.

LFCC Coronavirus (COVID-19) Response

Hey LFCC family,

In light of recent events concerning the Coronavirus we wanted to update you about some decisions we’ve made as a Church leadership. 

Upon much prayer and deliberation, as of now, we are planning on proceeding with regularly scheduled services (including children’s programming) on Sunday, March 15th, 2020 (Sunday School at 8:30am, Sunday Gathering at 10:00am). Know that this is an ever-evolving situation and we will do our best to stay on top of it.

We are doing all we can to ensure that our facility is as safe as possible for our Church family. Counters, door handles, and other high-use items have been cleaned and disinfected numerous times. 

In and effort to minimize contact, we will make the following alterations to our service:

  • Communion plates and offering bags will not be passed throughout the congregation
  • We will use only the two front entrances (SE and SW Doors under the awnings) for entry on Sunday morning.
  • Since Governor Eric Holcomb has imposed a limit on gatherings to no more than 250 people, once we reach 200 people in the main building we will begin diverting attendees to the Youth House where they may view the livestream of the service as a family.

We are taking every precaution we can to minimize risk to anyone and you can help with that. We need you to use good judgment to protect yourself and others. 

  • If you are feeling sick, have a fever or a cough; we are asking you to stay home and worship together with us online. 
  • If you have shortness of breath, are elderly, or have an immune system that is compromised; we are asking you to stay home and worship together with us online. 
  • If you feel as if you may have been exposed to the Coronavirus, we are asking you to stay home and worship together with us online.

Please do not feel bad if you feel that you need to stay home. We want to be as safe as possible so we are asking everyone to err on the side of caution and worship with us online if you are the least bit uncertain.

If you are worshipping with us online, you can find the livestream at the following link – http://www.peopletogod.com/lfcc-livestream/ or visit the LFCC YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgDXA2dRMny6yyHjw22Umsg

Also, if you are worshipping online we encourage you to prepare communion and partake with us as a family during the service and don’t forget that you can give as part of your worship online at https://pushpay.com/g/peopletogod OR on the Linton First Christian Church app for iPhone or Android. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We are trying to figure this out like everyone else, so please be flexible, be faithful, and stay tuned as things can change very quickly. 

Don’t forget to be in prayer. Peter said in 1 Peter 3.12 12 The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers.

God is hearing our prayers so please keep them coming.

God has been moving in mighty ways and we believe He will continue to move in mighty ways… This WILL NOT stop what HE is doing. Nothing will ever stop what God wants to accomplish! Our methods might have to change BUT the message NEVER WILL… and it must go out!

We trust God will protect us as His children BUT we will take every precaution we need to take. 

Keep praying… love God… love people… share Jesus and be safe. We love you and will see you all soon.
