In conjunction with Faith Missions Sunday, LCPCs Growing Families this Sunday, April 10, 9:30 a.m. in Fellowship Hall, is about Family on Mission with guest speaker Alisa Medders.
Gods message is clear 1,500 times in the scriptures we read of Gods promise to bless all nations. We also read of Gods charge to serve others, make disciples and go to all nations, but have you ever truly asked yourself, What does this mean and how does this apply to my family? Come learn about Gods heart for all people and get practical ideas to put your faith into action while growing closer as a family. Alisa Medders
