Sunday Morning Worship
Every Sunday morning at 10:00 AM Eastern, all gather together for worship, education, and fellowship. Almost all worship services will include: a greeting or announcements, meditation, music, prayer, call-and-response, a reading from the Bible, a reflection or sermon, and an invitation to socialize.
During most weeks, children from Pre-K to fifth grade can participate in faith formation classes with their peers. But all of God’s children are always welcome and cherished in the worship service.
Students in grades six-twelve have faith formation classes on the second and fourth Sundays of the month. Learn more about LCC’s faith formation.
Following the worship service, in-person worshippers are invited attend fellowship hour. All ages can catch up with old and new friends, reflect on the service, enjoy a cup of Fair Trade Coffee, tea or juice, eat a little snack, or just enjoy the company of their siblings in Christ.
