On Tuesday, Jan. 25, there will be a special evening of fellowship and outreach for Lincoln Christian Church. Lincoln Christian has rented the Laughlin Center at Lincoln Christian University so everyone can be together in one place on one evening. They have also catered in the meal so no one has to worry about preparing food that night. Dinner will begin at 6. 

This will be one of those events people will talk about for a long time. The night consists of the catered dinner, fellowship with friends and family, laughter, and comedy by one of Illinois most popular comedians, Rex Havens.

Havens takes the heart of the world around each of us, applies his own gentle combination of logic, bemusement and insanity, and offers it back to his audience in a way that is engaging, thoughtful and hilarious. A former college professor who made the unusual transition to the standup comedy stage, Rex has always believed that laughter is the best defense against a confusing and challenging world. 

The cost is only $10 a person, $8 for children under 10 years of age. Lincoln Christian Church will soon announce a way to purchase an entire table for your list of guests and friends.

You can purchase your tickets at any of the morning worship services or at the church office during the week. The church is giving its families the first opportunity for the tickets, before they are available to the community. 


Zion Lutheran School annual Pancake and Sausage Meal, Sat., Feb. 5,2011; 7:00 am – 1:00pm Adult tickets are $ 6.00 and Children tickets are $ 3.00 (3yrs. – 12yrs.) 2 and under eat for free. It is held at Zion Lutheran School 1600 Woodlawn Road, Lincoln, IL (Across from Wal-Mart). There is also a meat room, a bake sale, and a silent auction from 7:00am – 1:00pm.

Created to Worship
Bill Lewis
What do we mean when we use the word “worship”?
Why do we do what we do on Sunday morning?
Is it rooted in the Bible and reinforced by history?

Navigating Route 66 in a GPS World (How to Read the Bible)
Dustin Fulton
While we all agree that we should read the Bible, it is often very
difficult to understand. Let's face it: the newest parts of the Bible
were written nearly 2,000 years ago and in a completely different
language. If we are going to be able to read it, we need some simple
tools to help us. This class will use readings from the Route 66 Bible
Reading Guide to help ordinary people learn how to read, understand,
and apply the Bible.

The Truth Project
Brent & Amie Kenney/Bob & Patsy Wilson
Focus on the Family's, The Truth Project, is a DVD-based small group
study that practically and personally introduces people to the truth
claims of God. This is an In-Depth Christian Worldview experience that
can be life transforming.

Bethel Class (Overview of the Bible—Unit A)

Wednesday Evening
Begins January 19 at 6 pm
Tim & Theresa McGee
This is the beginning of a new class to help us lean more about how
the whole Bible fits together.

Sunday Morning Bethel Class
Begins January 16 at 10:45 am
Elaine Woolard

Either of these classes will be for anyone who has not yet begun a Bethel
class, and the cost will be $20 for the
first 7-week session, and $10 per 7-week session thereafter. It will
take six 7-week sessions to conclude the class, thus costing only $70
total (to be paid at the onset of each session--not all at once).

Call the church office (732-9294) to let us know if you prefer Sunday
morning or Wednesday evening. We'll be happy to get you into a class.
