Are you interested in learning what it means to be a member at LEFC? Pastor Matt has scheduled a membership seminar for October 30th to talk with folks who want to go deeper into living out Romans 12. Talk with Pastor Matt today about taking part.

Missionary Christmas in September

Today marks the end of our special offering aimed to blessing the missionaries we support and giving them some extra money to use in whatever way they like. There are envelopes inside the church, and you can place your gift in the offering plate or in the basket by the missionary Christmas board. Please mark your gift “Christmas.” Next week we will prepare the gifts and send them on to our missionaries. Thank you for your support and generous giving!
