OLD FASHIONED HYMN SING

The congregation of Immanuel Lutheran Church invites one and all to an old fashioned outdoor hymn sing on Saturday, September 29, 2012 beginning at 5:00 P.M. The event will be held at the shelter building located at northwest corner of the church property across from Lincoln Community High School. In case of inclement weather the hymn sing will be moved into the church.

Glenda Downing, keyboard, and Shirley Klink, guitar and banjo, will provide accompaniment. Hymns chosen include well known old favorites, such as “Church in the Wildwood”, “I’ll Fly Away” and “Give Me That Old Time Religion”. Pastor Andrew Nyren will give a brief history and description of each hymn. A light supper will follow the singing. We hope you will be able to join us!

The Musical Offering for World Hunger will present its 20th concert at the Lincoln Christian Church Sanctuary on Sunday, Oct. 14th.  The concerts began when Tim Searby and Linda Storm approached the Harvest Ministry Team with the idea of presenting a concert to benefit world hunger.  Music is where they are gifted and they wanted to use their gifts to help feed hungry people.  Four of the original performers will be appearing in this concert:  Jim Alllison, Gail King, Tim Searby and Linda Storm.  Featured  music will range from the Classics to Contemporary.  Treat your friends who are music lovers to an afternoon of excellent music and help feed the hungry.  A free will offering will be received.

 


Ninth Annual Service of Remembrance

The wellness ministry of Lincoln Christian Church, 204 N. McLean St in Lincoln, will host the Ninth Annual Service of Remembrance on Sunday, November 4, 2012, at 3:00 p.m. in the church sanctuary.

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. Everyone is invited to attend and participate in this service of memory and honor for loved ones.

We invite those who have lost loves ones during the past year to submit a photo of your loved one by October 22 in order to be included in the pictures displayed in a power point presentation during the service.  You can bring or mail the photo to the Lincoln Christian Church office, where it will be scanned and returned to you.  Or, if you have a digital photo, you can send it directly, via email, to  remember@lincolnchristianchurch.org.

The wellness ministry team will host a time of fellowship following the service.
