An ANNOUNCEMENT and REQUEST

As a church, we're looking forward to what God has in store for us in 2011!

It's exciting to see our Sunday morning services filling up.  As we've been anticipating, we were actually over capacity in our 10:30 AM service this past Sunday!  While this is a great problem to have, we want to make sure we have seats for our guests and newcomers.

A Request:

If you are currently attending the 10:30 AM service, would you please consider attending the 9 AM service?  Every seat made available in the 10:30 AM service is another seat we can offer a first-time guest to Lifehouse Church East.

Here's why:

  • LHE primary goal is the CAUSE of Christ and the MISSION of THE Church to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus and disciple them to become Jesus-followers.
  • At LHE, we want to reach everyone in this region that we can, and want to overcome all limitations,
  • as you've experienced, when a service feels full (over 75% of capacity), then we feel cramped,
  • then, and worse, we don't think there is room for our friends and family,
  • so, we stop inviting them.
  • a packed service doesn't allow us to reach new unchurch and de-churched neighbors.
Please come at 9am and PLEASE INVITE YOUR FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, and CO-WORKERS.

Join us this Sunday for part 2 of the Unquenchable sermon series.

Big Announcement COMING SOON. Find out THIS Sunday a few steps we are taking to multiple our efforts to reach this region with God's Good News. Hint: includes church planting AND new services.

Hello everybody,

Just throwing out an idea.....

Would it be at all possible to have a Sunday evening service. Maybe instead of the 9am service? Just throwing out an idea. Don't want to make anyone in leadership cringe and sigh!! lol But, our family has people in the medical field and many times, they have to work overnight or Sunday mornings and have to miss church services altogether. It would be nice to have something in the evening. If not now, maybe an idea for the future!! Thanks for listening.
