Pastor’s Note 04/16/2026
How can I help?
Those are words that a pastor loves to hear, so when I hear those words from someone, my thoughts begin to dream of possibilities. What could I have this person do that would be helpful at church? Can they help in the office? Maybe they can do work in our garden? Maybe they can make phone call to a person who is new to attending LCPC?
If there is one thing that would help more than anything else at LCPC is for you to pray. Prayer is a critical aspect of our church’s ministry.
- Prayer helps to align our desires with God’s desires.
- Prayer helps to submit our will to God’s will.
- Prayer humbly places our lives into God’s hands.
- Prayer places us in a dialogue with our God who is relational and wants us to come to Him with our needs and our wants. He wants to hear about our joys and our sorrows.
If there is one thing that you can do right now for me and for our church it is to pray.
Together, as we place our future in God’s hand, we will be doing what He has called us to do, and we can have an impact for His kingdom in our community.
So, how can you help? Pray. That would be a huge gift.
See you on Sunday as we continue to look at God’s Promises.
Pastor’s Note 04/09/2026
Easter has come and gone and sometimes there is a let-down after all of the preparations for a celebration. We tend to put a lot of energy and hype leading up to our celebrations and then, once the day is over and we turn the calendar page, we move on to the next celebration. It happens every Thanksgiving and it happens every Christmas. The season of Eastertide helps us not to do that.
We are a week into the Christian season known as “Eastertide,” The 50-day period that the church recognizes between Easter and Pentecost.
Eastertide isn’t a very commonly used word in our world but the 50 days after Easter helps us to remember and continue to celebrate Christ’s resurrection. We need these days. We need to remember the miracle of Christ’s resurrection from the dead and the promises that were kept because of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.
To help set the stage for the promises that God made we are starting a sermon series this Sunday entitled, “God’s Promises.” We are going to look at the promises or covenants that God made in the Old Testament that led up to the new promise, the New Covenant through Jesus Christ.
So bring your Bible and get ready to circle, highlight, underline, and take notes as we set the foundation for what took place on Easter that gives us hope for the future.
