| FAITH WITH WORKS: A Study of the LPC Statement of Faith: Join Pastor Teague in the Library at 6:15 p.m. for this Thursday evening Faith Acts class through April 26th. Explore the recently adopted LPC Statement of Faith with a special focus on how what we believe leads us to the twelve “thens” at the close of the statement. Each session will include a study of the biblical basis for the particular provisions of our Statement of Faith, as well as lively discussion as to how we best live out our faith individually and as a community. | |
 WE’RE STARTING A BOOK CLUB! Do you like to read, discuss ideas, and share fellowship? A new book will be read each month. The Book Club will gather on the second Tuesday of each month during the day, from 1:00-2:30 p.m., as well as the third Wednesday evening of each month from 7:00-8:30 p.m. Choose which works best for you. We will discuss one book per meeting. You can choose to join us for just one book, or for many. How does what YOU read change how you look at and interact with the world? Does your faith affect how a book touches you? Does how a book touches you affect your faith? Check out the list of books scheduled for the year. Copies of the list are available on the racks in the Narthex. They will also be available to view online. The Book Club will meet in the Library. The first meeting dates are Wednesday evening, February 15th, and Tuesday afternoon, February 21st. The book to be discussed in February is Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo. Questions? Contact Kay Brown in the church office, 215-752-3200, or e-mail at kay.lpc@verizon.net. Hope to see lots of readers! |
