Local Outreach

In the spirit of Together for Lincoln the Local Outreach team is organizing its annual coat and shoe drive for needy children in Lincoln. Tags will be available in the worship center October 18 through November 1st. Each tag represents one child with their coat size, shoe size or both. If shopping is difficult for you, we will accept monetary donations and shop for you.
We ask that all purchases be returned to the church by November 8th so that the coats and shoes can be distributed before the really cold weather arrives. It is very helpful and we ask you to return the tag with the items so we can distribute accordingly.

Sixth Annual Service of Remembrance

Lincoln Christian Church will host the Sixth Annual Service of Remembrance
on Sunday, November 1, 2009, at 4:00 p.m. in the Church Sanctuary at 204
North McLean Street. The purpose in providing this yearly gathering is
threefold: to celebrate God’s gift of life and to worship Him for it; to
honor the lives of loved ones who have died, particularly during the past
year; and to provide a corporate opportunity for loved ones to process,
express and heal from their grief. A special part of the service will be
a time when each person who has died will be named individually and a
candle will be lit in his or her memory and honor. A devotional will be
brought by Dr. Paul Boatman, Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling and
Seminary Dean at Lincoln Christian University, during the service. Music
will be coordinated by Tim Searby, Minister of Worship at the church.
Members of the Wellness Ministry Team will also take part in leading the
service. A reception will be held after the service in the Fireside Room
at the Church. The service is open to the public, and everyone is invited
to attend. If anyone would like to have a loved one recognized during the
service, the name of the person and a photo can be sent to
[e-mail] or delivered to the church office
prior to October 22.
