Kids Worship at Lincoln Christian Church
Extreme Makeover—Christ-Like Attitudes

Lincoln Christian Church

204 N. McLean St.


Kids, join us in November as we learn what it means to thank God, live humbly before God,
serve others, and trust God’s presence with us. We will be looking at how people before us discovered the meaning of our key verse: “Have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.” (Philippians 2:5) Make sure to join us during the 11:00 Worship time! You’ll learn active songs, see some crazy skits, engage in fun activities, and more! Everything we do will help us learn more about having Christ-like attitudes!


The Ball Brothers Christmas Concert

 

will be hosted by Mt. Pulaski Christian Church in their Family Life Center, 114 N. Lafayette St. in Mt. Pulaski, on Sat., Nov. 22 at 7:00 pm. Doors open at 6pm. A love offering will be accepted. Bring your family and friends for this wonderful night of music!

A Special Event Worship Choir for Celebrate!

Christmas 2014 is being formed. Being a part of
this choir provides a way for you to sing with a shorter commitment time.

There are four rehearsals on Sundays from 3:45 –4:45 p.m. Attendance at all four of these rehearsals through December 7 is critical in order to participate in Celebrate! Christmas 2014. Here’s the list so you can get them on your schedule now.
 

• Sunday, November 23 from 3:45–4:45 p.m.
• Sunday, December 7 from 3:45–4:45 p.m.

 

Not optional is below:
• Thursday, December 11 (DRESS REHEARSAL) – 6:30–9:00 p.m.
• Saturday, December 13 Celebrate! Christmas
– 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
