Join
the LICL Prayer Team
“One-fourth
of our congregation makes up the Prayer Team,” said Pastor
Spicer. “It’s exciting to know that I can
send out one email with a prayer request and have 40 people praying on
behalf of an individual or family.”
Each week Pastor Spicer
sends an email containing prayer needs and requests to the
team. As needs come up during the week, updates are sent to
the team as well. In this way, the Lord is cultivating a
spirit of prayer among the members of our congregation.
Pastor Spicer said,
“We can always use
more Prayer Team members. As our church grows, the needs of our members
increase too. What a blessing it is to have brothers and
sisters in Christ praying for you.” Those wanting to be a
part of the LICL Prayer Team should speak with Pastor Spicer.
Stephens
Corner
Life In Christ is building a Stephen Ministry. Our veteran leaders have
received training previously in the Stephen Ministry program and have
served their congregation prior to coming to LICL.
Once you become a Stephen Minister and have a care receiver we continue
meeting monthly with all the other Stephen Ministers for supervision.
We also, have ongoing education for the veterans....it is important for
us to nourish ourselves with spiritual knowledge and have speakers come
and talk with us on different matters that apply to our caregiving.
We are so blessed to have nine veterans who have agreed to serve our
church. For most of us its been awhile since we have been a part of the
structured Stephen Ministry program. That's why as leaders we felt it
very important for us to spend these three months reviewing some of the
more important tools that always can be refreshed. We continue to meet
twice a month and then at the end of May we will re-commission the
veterans. They then will be ready to take on a care receiver.
The Core Purpose (Mission) of Stephen Ministries
Stephen Ministries' Core Purpose is summed up in the words of St. Paul
in his letter to the Ephesians. These verses have been rendered by
renowned calligrapher Timothy Botts on the entryway wall to the Stephen
Ministries Center, boldly proclaiming the mission to everyone who
enters.
"To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body
of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the
knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full
stature of Christ" (Ephesians 4:12-13).
Human Care Committee
Our Statement of Purpose: to respond to
the needs of our church family in a timely manner showing the love of
Jesus in tangible ways.
Jesus tells us the story of
the Good Samaritan who really did it all. He provided medical care,
transportation, housing, companionship and lastly money. May we model
the Good Samaritan's action to our church family, our neighbors and the
world. If you have an interest in being a part of the Human Care
committee or volunteering your services, please contact Sherri Spicer
through the church office.
Choir - If you love to sing and
enjoy having fun, come and be a part of the LICL choir! Choir practice
is scheduled for Thursday's at
7:00PM. If you are interested in becoming a part of the choir and would
like more information, contact the church office.
Let
the Bells Ring - We
will be practicing on Monday nights from 7 - 8 pm. It's a great time
for fun and fellowship. Contact Ginny McDuffee our Chimes &
Hand bell Choir Director for further information through the church
office at 623-773-1234.
Trustees
- If you can swing a hammer,
pound a nail, change a light bulb or even just pull some weeds, the
Trustee's would really appreciate your help. As our congregation grows
so does the work to keep up the grounds and the buildings and there
just never is enough help. Please contact the church office if you are
interested and would like to speak with one of the trustees.
Ushers
- Ushers
help our worshippers feel comfortable in our worship setting. They
guide others to name a few by handing out service folders, giving
directions, collecting the offering, greeting members and visitors, and
ushering for communion. If we didn't have these folks, our services
would be utter chaos! Sign up if you can help.
Greeters - Greeters
are vital to our congregational life!! They are the first impression
our visitors get of our congregation. We can talk about being a
friendly church, but unless we have greeters who can really show that
joyful exuberance to our members and especially our visitors, we really
won't be a friendly church. Won't you consider becoming a part of this
ultimately important task?
Altar Guild
- The Altar Guild is an
organization that prepares the altar for the Lord's Supper. We care for
the silver, flowers, candles and linens, as well as seeing that the
chancel is clean and in order. The beautification of the church is also
one of our responsibilities. We would like anyone who is a member to
join us. Membership is open to adult women and men. If this
sounds interesting, join the Altar Guild!
