I received this e-mail from a gentleman who has been attending LCC now for about 5 weeks. His wife used to attend here years ago and was even baptized here. I remember many talks we shared together and prayers lifted about her husband coming, but he would not step a foot even near the door. Now, he is here and we are praying for his wife to "come home" again real soon!!!! Won't it be an awesome day when the whole family is back in worship together??? God is amazing and it will happen, just wait!
I wanted to share the following e-mail I received today from him. I have left names off for privacy, but he has given me permission to share this message!
Hello Brian, first I would like to thank you for your interest in my family.You have shown concern about my oldest son and the situation he is in right now. I know you are a very busy man with a lot of people calling for your attention. It means so much to me that you have asked me each Sunday how he is doing. I thank you for that! I also would like to tell you that I really enjoyed the service last Sunday. The way it went back and forth between your message and then the music was great. I was really moved by that service. I have heard you mention many times about someone becoming a member of the church. I was wondering what I need to do to become a member. I will never forget the first time I walked through the doors at L.C.C. and the first person I meet was L.J. He welcomed me and said this to me ( you are not here by accident) That really hit me and made me feel like i was welcomed right from the start. I was also very surprised by the stats on Internet porn that was put up during the service last week. I was wondering if you could e-mail those to me. I was very shocked by the one about the men who attended promise keepers. Anyway I look forward to church on Sunday and i will see you there.
Church, this is what it is all about! Knowing that people just don't show up on accident! That God works through "divine providence" and brings people to LCC so that He can meet their needs through US! Way to go LJ! Way to go church!!! Let's determine now more than ever to "Care as Jesus Cares" and always remember that we have been LOVED TO LOVE!!! I can't wait to see what God is going to do next? How about you? See you on Kick-off Sunday! Remember, service times will be: 8:45, 10 & 11:15! Don't forget about the Picnic/Corn-hole Tournament at 5pm!!!
B Out!!
