Visiting a new church can be pretty awkward. Maybe you’re coming from another church that did things differently or you’ve never been part of a church. Now you’re surrounded by a bunch of people singing songs that you don’t know and praying prayers you’ve never heard. Then, to top it all off, they pass around a basket and ask for money. We get it! We know that visiting a church can be uncomfortable, and we want to make you feel at home. So, here are a few things to know:

• You are welcome here and we're so glad you came. Every one of us has a past and it doesn’t matter where you come from, what you’ve done, or who you’re involved with, you're always welcome.
• Do not feel obligated to give. For those who attend our church regularly, it is an honor to give, but we do not expect it of our guests.
• Relax and enjoy yourself. Hopefully the routines of our Sunday service will be pretty easy to understand, but don’t worry, there’s nothing here to “mess up.”
• Say "hello" to someone. Most likely a bunch of people have already said “hello” to you, but in case they haven’t, step out and introduce yourself. We’d love to get to know you.
• Finally, if you have any questions, please ask!

Our hope is that after getting to know us better, you would become a part of our church family.  We’d love to have you on the journey.

HELLO LACC!

Happy Fall Y’all! 

We are looking forward to meeting together this Sunday to worship our amazing God. We will be continuing our new series in Acts this week. We are really looking forward to all that God will teach us about the church through this series. If you would like to read the passage, take a look at Acts 2:1-36. Please join us for worship, giving, scripture reading, teaching, prayer and fellowship. 

Here are some announcements: 

Harvest Festival Meeting- The candy collection bins are out, and you can check out the bulletin insert to learn how you can help! Carol Ann will have a planning meeting after church on Oct. 18 in room 10.  We are looking forward to another great event, and of course, we couldn’t do it without you. See you there!
