Christmas Is Coming

Indeed Christmas is on its way and a sure sign is always the Santa Claus Parade.
This year we are privilaged to be a part of the LaSalle Santa Claus Parade this coming Sunday evening at 5pm in LaSalle. The parade will run right past our church and we will have a float decked out with decorations, nativity scene and costumed people. We are looking forward to celebrating Christmas in our community and being able to spread the Real meaning of Christmas at the same time.
Hope you can all join us.

FISHIES

For those of you who missed last Sunday you missed the latest addition to our welcome entrance at LifeLine. We now have a 55gal aqurium with some rather large Chiclids welcoming you to church at LifeLine. The tank seems to be a hit, especially with the younger generation and those (like me) who need to stare at nothing to get a stress release. Please no fingers in the tank, I don't think our insurance covers loss of limbs (-:

Our 1st Meeting

Well this past Sunday LifeLine Church had its 1st official congregational meeting. The meeting was short and to the point just how any meeting should go. We introduced the new Pastor's Council (church board) and talked about our history and plans for the future of LifeLine Church. Everyone in attendance seemed happy with the meeting so I'd call it a success. We're all looking forward to a bright and growing future for LifeLine Church in LaSalle.
If you missed the meeting and would like a copy of the notes just email us here at the blog and we can get you a copy.

New Series Kicks Off

I'm really excited about our new series on "Heroes" kicking off this coming Sunday. This week my very good friend Kevin Rogers will be bringing the message as well as leading worship with us. We've also got some great videos lined up, a couple we've even created by ourselves. Some of the Heroes we'll be looking at are Hanna, Joseph, Moses, Mary (Jesus Mother) and more. If you are within driving distance of LifeLine Church you'll want to check out this new series, it's gonna be great.

The Times R A Changin

As I mulled over whether or not to blog about the time change I over hear a conversation in a store this evening while checking out. The cashier gives a friendly reminder of "don't forget to change your clocks tonight" to which the woman in her 50's gives a puzzled stare. Not only did she not know it was time change from dst, but she had no idea about this concept nor how to go about doing it. Thankfully the cashier gave a quick 2 minute explanation of what the lady would need to do before bed tonight.
So if you are reading this and have forgotten, go now and set you clock back 1 hour and life will be all good. If you are reading this and don't know what I am talking about; then you should not be allowed to own a computer much less go online.

Heat Wave

LifeLine Church Has Heat!
I know it seems like a title reserved for maybe a 3rd world country church, but for those of you who froze with us last week I'm sure you'll be quite excited at this news. This means there is no excuse to not be in church this coming Sunday to hear the Joyful Explosion Choir and hear some encouraging words from Ron Baker, our regional director from the PAOC. Of course the heat does not reach to my office in the back corner so I'm typing this with chilled hands that I have to warm by a space heater every few minutes. Poor planning I guess (-:

I'm Not A Scrooge

I'm certainly not a scrooge, and I love Christmas and all that it means especially to our faith. But why am I out shopping at WalMart tonight on the 1st of November and hear nothing but Christmas music over the airways? True I'm not a huge fan of the festive seasonal music, but 2 months ahead of time is just a bit much don't you think? I'm still wearing shorts and sandals, it's not time for Christmas music yet.
