Read Scripture

With the new calendar year nearly upon us, you may have been thinking of making some resolutions. Many people take this opportunity to work on eating better, excising more, or learning a new skill. 
 
As followers of Jesus we may also want to be more intentional about our relationship with God. There are so many different practices and resources to help us, but if you’re looking for a place to start, you can’t get much more foundational than reading scripture.
 
Last year I read through the Bible using the app, Read Scripture, produced by the Bible Project. It’s free, simple to use, and customizable for your schedule.
 
Each book of the Bible includes an introductory video by the Bible Project team. Each day you will be encouraged to pray, read a few chapters, followed by one Psalm.
 
Stick with the plan and in one year you will have read the entire Bible, learned about every book in the Bible, and read through the Psalms more than twice!
 
Again, the app is free!
 
Won’t you consider joining me on this journey through scripture in 2021? 
 
Bless you,
 
Chris

Congregational Meeting
Sunday, January 10, after Live@5 
 
Each year LSCC hosts two congregational meetings (in January and June) in order to reflect on what God has done in and through us, to consider what he is calling us to next, and to do the important work of electing officers and passing our operating budget.

On January 10th at 6pm, we’ll have the opportunity to come together to hear a short reflection from Pastor Chris and for partners to vote on the operating budget for 2021.

More details will follow, but please save the date! All are invited and partners should expect to participate if at all possible.

Chloe’s Meal Train
Nicole Burdick’s neighbor, Chloe, is in need of meals. She has faced a difficult few months post-hip replacement surgery. Please help in blessing this neighbor in need. Please check your weekly update or contact us for the link to the Meal Train sign up. Chloe requests contactless delivery of homemade meals or Grubhub/DoorDash gift cards.

And something for the kids (and everyone) to participate in, Chloe loves getting cards!
