This week at LLWC – September 18, 2022

Pastor Andy will be sharing a message called “Why Fast” from Matthew 6:16-18At the end of the message he will be challenging you to make a specific commitment to fast some kind of food every day for 21 days beginning Monday, September 19!

Check out the following link to one of the songs we will be singing called “This I Believe (The Creed)” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuDI-sk2nJU&ab_channel=HillsongWorship
  • Children’s Ministry: We will be offering children’s ministry ALL YEAR LONG! 
    • This Sunday Children will remain with their parents/guardians until the end of the music time when they will be dismissed to the Fellowship Hall.
    • Once a month we will intentionally NOT offer children’s ministry in order to give our volunteers a break but also to give parents/guardians the opportunity to have their children with them for the entire service. The other Sundays of the month the children will stay with their parents/guardians for the music time after which they will be dismissed to the Fellowship Hall for the duration of the service.
    • Teachers and Helpers please sign up when you can serve in the lobby or contact Pastor Andy ASAP!
THIS WEEK
  •  Daily Bread Devotionals (Fall Quarter) Now available in the church foyer on the document wall!

  •  40 Day Prayer Focus: 
    • 5 Days of Prayer at 5pm Wednesday through Sunday.
    • 21 DAY FAST  *NEW
      • September 19 to October 9
      • As part of the 40 Days of Prayer: “And when you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in private. And your Father, who sees everything, will reward you (Matthew 6:16-18 NLT).
      • If every Christian fasted, the results could shake our society like a windstorm bending a sapling. Christians would demonstrate that they live differently, that their faith is imperative, that the Almighty works in their daily lives. If all our churches fasted, they would move forward in evangelism and reach out in feeding and helping others. God would then pour His presence upon His people.  Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough -Elmer Towns.
