Annual Breakfast Fundraiser Draws
Hungry Crowds to Lincoln Christian Church
[March 05, 2025]
A sunny morning brought hungry folks to Lincoln
Christian Church (LCC) on Saturday for
The-Ultimate-All-You-Can-Eat-Breakfast annual fundraiser in support
of the LCC student choirs. Proceeds from the breakfast go toward the
spring and summer tours of Heartsong (5th through 8th grade) and
Good News (9th through 12 grade) choirs. All choir students are
required to pitch in with the work of serving and cleaning up the
ultimate breakfast to support their choir tours.
Delicious aromas wafted through the LCC Fellowship
Center and beyond while people waited in line for freshly made
pancakes, bacon from J & M Meats, scrambled eggs, fried potatoes,
sausage, biscuits & gravy, orange juice, and iced tea. Carryouts
were also available. Attendees had only themselves to blame if they
left still hungry.
Volunteers worked all day Thursday and Friday to begin preparing
food and, after a break for Railers basketball, started at 10:30
p.m. Friday night and cooked through the night to have breakfast
ready at 7 a.m. Saturday. Choir students and other volunteers served
2000 slices of bacon, 254 pounds of sausage, 28 gallons of orange
juice, and had the capacity to cook up 1955 pancakes.
Choir director and LCC Worship Minister Laurin Hill said, “Thanks to
our church and the community for helping our student choirs to be
able to go out and share the good news of Jesus Christ and to be
able to travel and sing.” Many choir parents and other sponsors
could be found manning the griddle, serving the food, and washing
dishes. “We appreciated everyone helping out,” Hill said.

Heartsong’s portion of the
proceeds will help support their spring tour to Litchfield,
Illinois from April 4th to 6th. They will be presenting their
concert “Don’t Stop Prayin’” and leading worship at Christian
Church of Litchfield. Heartsong has 26 students and will travel
with 10 adult sponsors.
Good News will be embarking on a nine day tour June 3-10 with their
musical production “Who You Are.” Good News includes the high school
student choir, T.R.A.S.H (a percussion ensemble using found objects
of metal and plastic), and a drama team. They will have a Midwestern
tour this year with concerts in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and
Indiana. They will fill their tour bus with 28 students and 11 adult
sponsors.
Heartsong will be performing a home concert on
Sunday, April 6 at 4:00 p.m. at Lincoln Christian Church. Good News
will kick off their 9-concert tour with a home concert at LCC on
Monday, June 2 at 7:00 p.m., and there will be a second nearby
opportunity to see them at their final concert hosted by Atlanta
Christian Church in Atlanta, IL on Tuesday, June 10 at 7:00 p.m.
The-Ultimate-All-You-Can-Eat-Breakfast in support of LCC’s student
choirs takes place every year during the first week of March, and
they welcome everyone who enjoys a hearty breakfast.
