In Our Prayers

We pray for our Nominating Committee as they reflect on members whom God may be calling as new elders, deacons, and trustees of Larchmont Avenue Church, and for those who are contemplating the joys and responsibilities of service. We thank God for their generosity, faith, and willingness to step up as leaders!

We also pray for a good conclusion to our 2026 Stewardship Campaign. We thank God for the diligence and commitment of our Stewardship Committee, and for the many people who have not only continued but strengthened their commitments to the mission and ministry of LAC.

Do you have a prayer request to share with our LAC community? Call our prayer line at
