Advent at LCC

As we journey through Advent, we invite you to reflect on the power of community and connection. Each Wednesday at 6:15 pm, join us for Holden Evening Prayer, where we gather in faith and fellowship. December 3rd, 10th, and 17th will be special evenings filled with music, prayer, and the warmth of shared stories. This season, let us explore what it means to say yes to hope, love, and the call to serve one another. Together, we will discover the significance of our yeses and how they shape our lives and our church. Come, be part of this transformative experience as we prepare our hearts for the joy of Christmas.

Longest Night Worship Service

It can be hard to say yes. Even the small yeses in our daily lives these days feel riskier somehow. Decisions about where we put our money, our time, our energy, our confidence, and our faith feel more important than ever during these volatile times. We come from a history of people who said yes. Throughout the story of the people of God, brave and faithful, everyday people said yes to God. In Advent, these yeses are even more significant.

What does it take to get to yes? Why does it matter? Why does it matter that we believe this? This is a story that we tell, that isn’t just on a page or in ancient tales, but one that lives in our bones, and calls to us to say our own yes when we are called into what God is doing now.
