					Kids Worship at Lincoln Christian ChurchExtreme 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!

					Carry-Out Pork Chop Dinner is  
					Sunday, November 23 
					Lincoln Christian Church 
					204 N. McLean St. 
					Good News Creative Arts is having a Carry-Out Pork Chop 
					Dinner fundraiser on Sunday, November 23, from 10:30 
					a.m.-1:00 p.m. to help students raise money for GNCA’s 
					summer tour in June. The carry-out menu includes a grilled 
					boneless pork chop, candy glazed carrots, mashed potatoes 
					with gravy, and a roll with butter. You can purchase your 
					tickets from any GNCA student now through November 16 to 
					directly support that student. The GNCA students will also 
					be at a table in the Family Room selling tickets on Sunday 
					mornings the next few weeks. Another way you can buy your 
					tickets is through the church office during the week, but 
					any sold in the office will go to the general tour fund, and 
					will not support one particular student. Each Carry-Out Pork 
					Chop dinner is $7.00. There will also be a drive-up 
					option to have your dinner delivered to your car on Hamilton 
					Street. Get your tickets now to support this great 
					ministry, and have a delicious, ready-to-eat, take home meal 
					after church!
