Friday, Dec. 21 -- Longest Night/Blue Christmas Service

The Christmas season is often marked by expressions of joy, excitement, and happiness. However, this time of joy and expectation can often overshadow the pain and hurt many experience during this season, when the world's merriment puts their grief and sorrow in stark relief. Traditionally centered on the Winter Solstice [the longest night of the year], this service will provide time and space, through song and readings from Scripture, for God’s people to reflect on the pain this time of the year can invoke, while also remembering that God is there and that light will soon return.

6 p.m. meal in Community Ed Building

Preschoolers have been busy learning lots of new things this semester! Fall leaves and pumpkins are everywhere! See the pictures below, fall leaves in the sensory table, making pumpkin faces and more! Every week they are learning a new letter, counting, and writing. All of these skills help prepare children for kindergarten and they get to hear stories from the Bible while making friends!

Our afternoon class is full this year, but we have just a few spots in our morning class.
It meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings 8:30–11:00 a.m.

If you know of someone looking for preschool, please encourage them to consider LCC Preschool. For more information contact Jenni at the church office, 217.732.7618.
