Join us for a summer celebration from 4-7 PM! We’ll play games, fellowship, and enjoy a delicious meal together. Click here for all the details.

It’s our annual church retreat weekend at Camp Menno Haven in Tiskilwa! Check-in begins at 1:00 PM. (Pre-registration is required.)

We kick off fall Christian Formation activities for all ages. We’ll have two classes for adults: a continuation of the Bible in a Year class and a special session with guest preacher Tony Deik and LMCer Jamie Huff. They will share about the outcomes of the July Peacebuilding Summit: Palestine in Comparative Perspective event.

LMCer Adrien Keables Hayward will preach on Acts 27: 27-38. She writes, “For World Communion Sunday, we turn to explore a moment when Paul broke bread under difficult conditions, noticing how God works in our lives so that we can share God’s love.” We’ll celebrate communion with breads from around the world.

We’ll hold this during Sunday school. The chairpersons of Community Life, Mission, Worship, Education, and Church Administration will each have a location set up so you can stop by and learn more about how to engage with these lively and meaningful communities within our congregation!

Join us for the Harvest Halloween Party after Sunday school. We’ll enjoy a potluck meal together (please bring food to share), then play games, hunt for chocolate, and more! LMC will provide drinks. We love costumes; bring them for your kids to change into or wear them to church (what’s a few wriggles?). This event […]

We’ll honor those who have gone before us in the family of faith. In lieu of a sermon, we’ll enjoy a hymn sing together. We’ll also have a time of candle lighting in honor of those who have passed on.

We invite newer attendees of LMC to join the pastors for lunch after the worship service. It’s a great chance to get to know Pastors Barb, Richard, and Nathan better, while they get to know you better. If you would like to attend, please contact the church office.

Our theme this week is “Be amazed: Love comes down.” Pastor Richard will preach on John 1: 1–18. He writes, “Many Christians focus on going to heaven someday. But the main storyline throughout the Bible is that God repeatedly reaches out to humanity on earth. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Incarnation when […]

In addition to all the wonderful LMC Christmas Eve traditions—such as lighting candles while singing Silent Night—this year you won’t want to miss the Christmas pageant! LMC children and youth will share the Christmas story. Following the service, we’ll enjoy a lovely time of fellowship and feasting on delicious holiday snacks. Please bring cookies and/or hors d’oeuvres […]

Our theme this week is “Be amazed: God Among Us.” Pastor Nathan will preach on Matthew 2:1-12. He writes, “The Wise Men journey a long time following a light, taking the star as a sign of hope that their lives would change forever. This account invites us to consider ways to hold onto hope, and […]

We’ll enjoy a service of lessons and carols, and celebrate communion together. Our theme is “Epiphany: Be Amazed.” Sunday school classes will resume.
