We’ll celebrate our annual covenant membership renewal, committing to our shared convictions and covenant to our life together of care, discernment, forgiveness, and accountability. This will be our fourth worship service celebrating 500 years of Anabaptism. Pastor Richard will preach on 1 Corinthians 11: 17-26.
He writes, “This week we engage in several rituals as a community, including our monthly celebration of communion. While nearly every Christian group observes communion in some form, many have very different understandings of this ritual. How do we as Anabaptists understand communion?”

Fourth Sunday of Advent
2025-12-21 10:00 - 11:15 | LMC & Streaming
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 ‘The Word became flesh and made his home among us.'”
We won’t hold any adult Christian Formation classes on Sunday, but children and youth will hold a rehearsal for the Christmas pageant on December 24.

Please bring cookies and/or hors d’oeuvres to share with your LMC family. Join us at 6:30pm on December 24 for a time to remember the true meaning of Christmas.

First Sunday of Christmas
2025-12-28 10:00 - 11:15 | LMC & Streaming
