Pastor’s Note 12/11/2025
Don’t forget that this Sunday is “Christmas Carol Sunday” when we will be singing some of your favorite Christmas carols in our service. There will be lots of music as we anticipate the celebration of the birth of Jesus.

The poem below is from OC International (One Challenge), an international mission agency that connects with the global church to empower local ministry so they can impact nations (https://onechallenge.org).
I thought I would share it with the LCPC family as we prepare to celebrate Christmas and the birth of Jesus. Enjoy Advent and your Christmas preparations.
Celebrating Christmas
We are
Fooled and foolish
Deceived and deceitful
Enslaved and enslavers
Maligned and malicious
But God
Loves us anyway
Loves us actively
Loves us lavishly3
So, He gave
First and freely
Fully and sacrificially4
We deserve nothing, but
We celebrate.
