In Our Prayers

We pray for all those who are attempting to negotiate peace in places plagued by violence. May the best of human virtue rise up, and the worst subside. May we all be given eyes to see the image of God in all people.
We pray for healing and strength for all those who are recovering from surgery, and all who are undergoing difficult treatments. May you feel the comforting presence of the Holy Spirit.
We pray for all those who are grieving the loss of loved ones.
We pray for Lori Godwin, who is rehabilitating after a recent hospital stay.

A good time was had by all! Thank you to everyone who made these events possible and to all of you who joined us, too!

2026 STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN!

Christ is the Cornerstone.

We are the Foundation.

Our 2026 Stewardship Campaign is off to an inspiring start! Thank you to our 2026 co-chairs, Anthony Manson and Bill Oleson, and the entire Stewardship committee. We hope that you have been enjoying the Monday Stewardship reflection and the Moment for Mission in weekly Worship. These serve to remind us all just how important a role LAC plays in our individual lives and the community. The impacts of our mission and ministry are felt in ways large and small!

Thank you for your support. We, the congregation, are the foundation of LAC!

A few announcements:

Don't forget to grab a block to personalize, decorate, and add to our "model" Church. "Blank" blocks can be found in the Forest Park foyer. Feel free to be creative in your expression of what LAC means to you -- photographs, verse, quotes, anything at all that moves you would be wonderful! Completed blocks can be returned to the same bin or the church office.

SAVE THE DATE: November 16th is DEDICATION SUNDAY. There will be a special Worship service to which all are welcome. LATER that day, from 5:30-7:30 PM, join us for a celebratory wine & cheese reception (Adults 21+)
