NCTC College Singers Spring Concert

May 4th @ 7:30 PM in the Sanctuary

The NCTC College Singers will present a concert featuring a variety of music representing five continents, including vocal jazz favorites born right here in the USA. 

Admission is free!

The 2012 General Conference has started! 

The Church continues to do a great job with helping our active duty military overseas with their grocery shopping. This month, the total value of coupons sent overseas was $15,966.53 - that makes our total over the last seven months $122,405.11.

Please keep in mind that coupons can only be used for six months past their expiration date, so please, no coupons prior to January 1, 2012. It would help if you could clip them, but if not, that's fine as well. Keep up the good work, LCUMC. Your efforts continue to be appreciated by our military families overseas.

Hospitality is “the friendly reception and generous treatment of guestst”

What a blessing it is to sit or stand in the Fellowship Hall and talk with Church family while partaking of refreshments. It is also a great opportunity to get to know newcomers or those members of the “family” you don’t know very well.

Each Sunday Lakes Cities UMC provides a selection of pastries and breads along with coffee and cocoa to be enjoyed by all. Sometimes we have an abundance of goodies, but often we are in need of refreshments.

To supplement we are asking for volunteers in the Church family to bring food items for the hospitality table. It does not have to be “homemade” (although “homemade” is always welcome!!).

If you are interested, please fill out the sign-up sheet that will be placed on the hospitality table.

Mark your calendars now for the Lake Cities Youth Dinner and Dessert Auction on Sunday, May 6th from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Your Youth Group is raising money towards their summer trips to do home repair in South Dallas, tornado relief in Kentucky, and to attend Summer Camp at Bridgeport. 

Please RSVP to youthmissions@lakecitiesumc.org indicating how you will support your Youth:

I will attend the Youth Dinner and Dessert auction with ____ guest(s).
I will provide a dessert for the Youth Dinner and Dessert auction.
I will donate $________ for Youth Summer Trips.

Lewis is putting a handbell ensemble together for an upcoming worship service. Rehearsals will be on Wednesdays at 6:00 pm beginning this week (April 25). This will be a short-term commitment, so you aren't signing the rest of your Wednesday nights away. 

Childcare can be provided also upon request. Eleven ringers are needed. Experience isn't necessary, but it would be helpful if you read music. See Lewis after worship today or contact him at your earliest convenience. You can contact Lewis at lewisworthington@gmail.com or (972)358-8965.

Children's Ministries needs LOTS and LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of superballs by the end of May! 

If you are a child age 4 yrs. through 5th grade and are interested in playing bells, we have the perfect opportunity for you! Pastor Dyan will be putting together a children's bell choir for Children's Sunday.

The first rehearsal will be this Sunday @ 5:15 in the sanctuary. 

Please join us!

But what does that look like?
Join us this Sunday as we rethink parenthood and focus on families!
We're working to build families that last.
