The first Thursday in May is the National Day of Prayer. We have used this day at LICL to encourage our members to be faithful in reaching out to the Lord in prayer.
Today, our sanctuary will be open for anyone who would like to have a quiet time to pray. We have all kinds of resources that people can pick up in the Narthex to assist them as they pray. If you've not done this before, stop by the church today.
This evening, at 7 pm, a Service of Anointing and Prayer will take place. A philosopher once said, "Life is lived forward but understood backward." It's that idea that I want to explore in my message. Also, there will be a point in the service where people will be invited to come forward for a time to express individual concerns and, if they'd like, to be anointed with oil. Those who have attended this service in the past have found it to be encouraging and helpful. And it is a service in which no offering is taken. Imagine that - a service without an offering!
So, stop by the church during the day to pray or join us later this evening for worship. Blessings!
