 "Loving God, Loving Others, Serving the World"
Volume 6, Number 3 November 19, 2008 |
| Big House This Friday! | |

 Beginning Sunday, November 30th, we will begin experiencing the life-changing good news of Christmas together in worship. We will be singing your favorite music of the season and we will be exploring what Christmas means to each of us and to our world through the music of the Beatles. John Lennon may have been exaggerating when he said The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. However, they are probably a close second or third. We will take a look at some of the issues that confront us through the lens of some of the group's most popular songs:
November 30th Nothing's Gonna Change My World
December 7th All the Lonely People
December 14th I Believe in Yesterday
December 21st You Say You Want a Revolution
Christmas Eve Let It Be
This is a great opportunity to invite your friends and family who may need a little boost during the Christmas season. We are looking forward to a wonderful time together!

This Week's Sermon  This week we looked at some practical helps on our path to making the changes we feel we need in our lives including prayer, planning ahead, and participating in a supportive group.Next Week | ||
Musicians Needed
 Here at First Congregational, we
have a burning to desire to reach the unchurched in our community with
the transforming love of God. A new, relevant, way to do that is to
begin an additional worship service with a more contemporary, more
casual atmosphere to attract younger adults and families. The music for
this service will be pop and rock (and yes, it will be loud).
Therefore, one important element will be a kick-butt band to help lead
in worship. Do you or someone you know play the keyboard, guitar, bass
guitar, or drums? Were you in a band in another time and place? Do you
know a good musician who is looking for a place to play? Let Jason know. .

Connection Partners Good news! The number of visitors we have on a weekly basis is increasing. Each Sunday we have two or three guests with us. That number will increase during the Christmas season.
Visiting a church can be a scary proposition. A guest takes the risk of entering an environment where most people know one another and she or he will not know any of them.
Here at First Congregational Church of Lake Worth, we are a pretty friendly church. However, that friendliness usually does not extend beyond Sunday morning. We are beginning an intentional system of connecting our guests with caring people in our congregation who can contact them during the week, help connect them with ministries and activities in which they might be interested, and to go beyond being friendly to being a friend to them.
If you are interested in participating in this ministry, please contact Jason.
