The Alpha Course
(begins March 20)

“In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” (2 Corinthians 4:4-6)

Pray for….

-Alpha Door hangers to be effective
-Visitors to continue to feel welcome and at home
-Presentation of the gospel to be clear and persuasive
-Spirit to reveal Jesus Christ and his salvation to unbelievers
-Discussion at tables to be productive and beneficial
-Blessing of joy for those who serve
-Table facilitators to be equipped with wisdom and discernment
-Our church to have an increased passion for both corporate and personal evangelism

Morning Meditation Psalm: Psalm 145
Song: “Lord Most High”

Community Outreach

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under foot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:13-16)

Pray for….

-Increased gospel-influence on the community
-That LCC would be a “city on a hill” to the glory of God
-Burden on the hearts of this church to show the love of Christ
-Growing passion for God’s Kingdom
-Continued effective connecting with our neighborhood and the surrounding region
-God to give us wisdom as to how we can best serve the city in which God has placed us.
-Specific outreach ministries to pray for: Christ Cares Cancer Ministry; Mercy Ministry; Living Alternatives; Alpha; Next Generation Ministries

February: Health of the Church

Morning Meditation Psalm: Psalm 86
Song: “Thank You for Saving Me”

Salvation & Growth

“…and the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved” (Acts 2.47).

Pray for….

-Unbelievers who enter today to be warmed by the Gospel
-Those in the church with false assurance to be truly convicted of their sin and to be saved
-Increased passion for personal evangelism among us
-That we would be a church characterized by the Great Commission: disciples being created and cared for.
-Believers without a local church to find a home among us
-That we would be a growing church—growing in number, in mission, in godliness, and in the gospel
-God’s blessing again on our next Alpha Course and other ministry avenues for gospel growth
-Open House Sunday (March 11)
