WHAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE?:
AN ECUMENICAL CONVERSATION
What happens
when a Roman Catholic Priest, an Episcopalian priest, a United
Church of Christ pastor, and a Presbyterian pastor get together? We
aren't sure either, but we're going to find out, and you're invited,
too!
As a way to
get to know better our neighbors, the clergy of the First
Presbyterian Church (USA), the Holy Family Catholic Church, the St.
John United Church of Christ, and the Trinity Episcopal Church
invite you to attend a four-part conversation in community. The
title of this series will be: "What Makes Us Who We Are?"
While it is
easy to recognize all the ways we are different, these conversations
aim to help us discover all the ways we are already similar and
share common interests and characteristics. This will be a time of
learning and laughter, and each discussion will conclude with light
refreshments - a feature sure to be the first thing that binds us in
common.
The dates
for these lively (and informative) conversations will be:
WEDNESDAY, JULY 10TH
Trinity Episcopal Church
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14TH
Holy Family Catholic Church
Each
conversation begins at 7:00 pm and is free to everyone.

KIDS WORSHIP —August 2019
Relationships can be hard! Especially with that one kid you share a
bedroom with. . . . During August we will be
looking at sibling relationships throughout the Bible and how we can
let go of our anger and jealousy in order to better connect with one
another and, ultimately, with God. Our key verse this month is John
15:12:“Love each other.”
If you would like to review this month’s series with your child,
here are the the titles, texts and themes:
Cain Kills His Brother in Anger. Genesis 4:2–16. We show God’s love
by controlling anger.
Joseph Steals His Brother’s Blessing. Genesis 27:1–45. We show God’s
love by being honest.
Joseph Is Sold Into Slavery. Genesis 37:3–36. We show God’s love by
encouraging each other.
Story of the Lost Son. Luke 15:11–32. We show God’s love by
forgiving each other.

NEW WEDNESDAY STUDY
Join us for a six-week study looking at “Snapshots from the Early
Church” led by LCU professor Dr. Brian Messner. Brian is a gifted
scholar and will help us understand how early Christians worshiped
and what challenges they faced living as a Christian in their world.
The principles Brian highlights will then
help us navigate our faith today. You will know and experience God
more deeply and personally through this series. This study begins
September 4 at 6:30 p.m. No registration necessary.

GOOD NEWS
50th YEAR REUNION & CONCERT
MAY 23-24, 2020!
Calling all GOOD NEWS alumni and sponsors! We are so
excited to announce the 50th year of GOOD NEWS will be celebrated
with a reunion and concert, May 23–24, 2020! We will rehearse on
Saturday and Sunday afternoon, with the big reunion concert at 6:00
p.m. on Sunday, May 24 (Memorial Day weekend) at Lincoln Christian
University. Mark your calendar now! We will bring
back as many of the former GOOD NEWS directors as possible. The
Reunion Choir will sing a favorite song from each decade as well as
hear from the current Good News and T.R.A.S.H. This will be a blast!
Please plan to join us!
GOOD NEWS PUBLISHING COMPANY began in 1971. Created from the Youth
Choir of Lincoln Christian Church, Keith Davenport added the
dimension of touring with the “Good News” of Jesus. There have been
close to 1,000 students who have been in GOOD NEWS over the last 50
years, (we are still counting!) with hundreds of dedicated sponsors
who have traveled with our students.
GOOD NEWS has shared the Good News of Jesus Christ in concerts in 43
states and Canada. On our 2019 tour next week we add #41 (Utah), #42
(Montana) and #43 (North Dakota).
GOOD NEWS alumni and sponsors (and parents!), we have created
several ways for you to stay in contact to receive all of the
information about the Reunion Concert.
To update your contact information, register for the Reunion
Concert, send e-invites to fellow GOOD NEWSers, share photos (we
need your photos, especially the formal group shots), videos, and
stories, and once you have registered to sing in the Reunion
Concert, receive a link to download the concert music, go to:
www.lincolnchristianchurch.org/GN50 , Check social media (Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter) with #GoodNews50, email us at GN50@lincolnchristianchurch.org.
Join us in May 2020 to celebrate the legacy and continued ministry
of GOOD NEWS! We can’t wait to see all of you gathered together to
once again proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ in song!
