Sunday, October 17
Pastor Lindsay Mack is preaching
21st Sunday after Pentecost
|
|
|
Our annual Confirmation Service will be this Sunday, October 17, at 9am. We encourage you to wear red!
Both services that day (9am and 11am) will have identical services with a blended music style, except for the addition of the confirmation rite at 9am. Because of confirmation at 9am, we may have a more crowded service than normal, so if you're not family of a confirmand and you'd like to have more space to socially distance, you are welcome to attend the 11am service.
|
|
We continue to follow guidance put forth by the Chicago synod and state and local guidelines:
- Masks are required, regardless of vaccination status.
- Fully vaccinated members are permitted to sing quietly in worship.
- Wash your hands and use hand sanitizer.
- If you are feeling sick, please stay home.
The nursery is OPEN this Sunday.

Sunday Morning Outdoor Eucharist at 8:30 a.m.
This Sunday we will celebrate a very brief eucharist with a time of prayer on the front lawn at LMC at 8:30. We are conscious that not all folks are comfortable or even advised to worship indoors right now, so we are going to pilot a brief communion service for the next few weeks.
|
|
YouTube Worship this Sunday at 9:00 a.m.
The service will be streamed live on Facebook for those unable to attend worship in-person. The services will also be available after airing via LMC’s YouTube page. The focus of the filming will be on the service itself, but if you’re certain you don’t want to be on camera then consider sitting further back in the church.
We recognize that streaming has been less than ideal. We ask for your grace as we are working diligently with our tech team to make improvements.

Last week you should have received an email introducing you to Church Center, our new community portal for LMC. We encourage you to take a look at that! Jared has made some walkthrough videos to help you log in, join the directory, and set up your giving. Please email him if you have any questions.
