TFT: Sing to the Lord!

Dear LEFC Parents,

We are excited to share with you some upcoming Family Ministries happenings here at LEFC. Stay on the lookout for new activities and resources we’re drumming up soon! Here is some current news, along with this week’s highlighted resource for dessert.

No Youth Group Tonight

There will be NO youth group tonight. It will resume next week.

Nursery Update Meeting

On April 6th, during the church family meal and before the meeting, moms of nursery-aged children and those who are expecting are invited to meet in the MOPS room across from the fellowship hall to discuss updates to the nursery. We will share ideas and gather input about how to serve families well. Moms can go through the line first and share lunch together while we chat.

Mom’s Night Out

On Friday May 16th, moms with children in the home are invited to the church for a Mom’s Night Out! Keep an eye out for more details coming soon, and be sure to write it on your calendar now!

Easter Egg Hunt 2025

Our egg hunt is fast approaching! We are gathering donations of individually wrapped candy to fill the eggs, as well as prizes for kids to win. We will also soon have a sign-up for volunteers to help in various ways during the hunt. Find the event on Facebook and invite your friends to join us!

“Achan’s Sin and the Defeat of Ai” Kids Bible Class Devotional

You have free access to a family devotional based on the curriculum our kids are studying each week in KBC! It’s called “The Gospel Project at Home.” Today’s Bible Study is “Achan’s Sin and the Defeat of Ai” (Volume 3: Unit 7: Session 3), and the devotional can be found at this link.

Visit the Family Ministries page on our website for information about how to access The Gospel Project at Home for the first time.

And for Dessert…

This week’s recommendation for family discipleship is a new resource we created aimed at helping families worship in singing in their homes.

One of the elements we encourage families to include in their family worship and devotion time is singing. Young kids often especially enjoy singing and dancing along to music, as we see every year at Family Bible Week! Singing together can be a helpful tool in helping them learn to worship Jesus.

To help equip our families to do this, we have created a Spotify playlist of the songs we sing in church, entitled “LEFC Family Worship.” On the playlist you will find nearly four hours of music! For some songs, multiple versions are even included, so you’re sure to find some gems that your family especially loves! This is also a great way to get more familiar with new songs we sing so you can more easily sing along on Sunday mornings.

I (Jordyn) encourage you to save the playlist to your library, or save your favorite songs from it to a personal playlist. I can envision families using this in the car, dancing along to it in the kitchen, putting on a song to sing during a bedtime devotional time, or putting it on in the background while the kids are playing. You can even share it with friends who are considering visiting LEFC to give them a taste of the songs they might hear.

You can find the playlist on Spotify, and you don’t need a premium subscription to save it! You can also find it on YouTube.

We hope your family eats it right up.
