But first! Join us tomorrow at 9 am for our second on-line worship service. This will be a more complete service with hymns, liturgy, confession and absolution, readings, prayers and a message. The focus is on the death of Lazarus and how Jesus reacts to the news of the death of His friend. Be ready to worship at 9 o'clock and tell a friend about the service. We can be found at our website - www.licl.org, and also on YouTube and Facebook. Just type "Life in Christ Lutheran Church" in the search box and you should find the service.
By suspending services, some pastors have been criticized for being too cautious. I can guarantee you that if your pastor has taken that position, it's because he is concerned for you, your health and the community's health. Now, more than ever, we need to support, help and encourage one another. Stay safe, be well and keep on trusting in the Lord.
