AND here's the BIG Annoncement...

We are transitioning to THREE (yes, 3!!) services on Sunday mornings at Leitersburg Cinemas.

WHY?

1. TO MAKE MORE DICIPLES: Lifehouse is at capacity during 10:30 service, and we have seen many people transition to our 9am service. However, since we’re at nearly 100% capacity, we do NOT have room for growth, which means we can’t reach those who need Jesus! We must create opportunities and space to continue expanding God’s Kingdom and reaching the un-churched and de-churched in our region.
2. BEST IMMEIDATE OPTION: while we’ve been preparing for other options and venues, these will take more time and cost more money. We are still planning making exciting plans for further growth and development, and will announces those as they approach. At this point, the fasts, most cost-effective solution is to add a 3rd service. This also maximizes our space at Leitersburg Cinemas.
3. NOT A FINAL STEP: going to 3 services is only a NEXT step! We are aggressively trying to find office space, as well as assembly space for a smaller venue for a Saturday evening service. AND we are developing plans to launch a 2nd Sunday morning campus in the Fall. SO, buckle up! God is doing great things in expanding HIS Church through Lifehouse Church East!

WHAT?

Starting MARCH 27th to give us a one-week trial run BEFORE April 3rd Friend Day.

Service times: 8:45 – 9:50am; 10 – 11:05am; 11:15am – 12:20pm. Why these services times:

• It’s an experiment- since we’ve never done it before, let’s try it and then adjust as needed :)
• 8:45 is very close to 9, so we’re asking EVERYONE who attends the 9am service to shift to 8:45.
• Hopefully, we can multiply the full 10:30 service into both the 10 and 11:15 service times.
• Time to tear down: we need to finish up as early as possible to still leave sufficient time to tear down BY 1PM.

NOW WHAT?

• be flexible: thanks for your willingness to adapt with us as we make every effort to expand God's Kingdom and share His love and gospel with everyone possible,
• invite FRIENDS: we're making space so you can keep inviting friends, and everyone you know who is not plugged into a church. So, please invite your friends! A great opportunity- Spiring Fever Sunday (Friend Day) April 3rd.
• serve: obviously, with expanding service times, we need more people serving in every ministry. So, please find a place to serve.
