Visiting a new church can be pretty awkward. Maybe you’re coming from another church that did things differently or you’ve never been part of a church. Now you’re surrounded by a bunch of people singing songs that you don’t know and praying prayers you’ve never heard. Then, to top it all off, they pass around a basket and ask for money. We get it! We know that visiting a church can be uncomfortable, and we want to make you feel at home. So, here are a few things to know:

• You are welcome here and we're so glad you came. Every one of us has a past and it doesn’t matter where you come from, what you’ve done, or who you’re involved with, you're always welcome.
• Do not feel obligated to give. For those who attend our church regularly, it is an honor to give, but we do not expect it of our guests.
• Relax and enjoy yourself. Hopefully the routines of our Sunday service will be pretty easy to understand, but don’t worry, there’s nothing here to “mess up.”
• Say "hello" to someone. Most likely a bunch of people have already said “hello” to you, but in case they haven’t, step out and introduce yourself. We’d love to get to know you.
• Finally, if you have any questions, please ask!

Our hope is that after getting to know us better, you would become a part of our church family.  We’d love to have you on the journey.

Happy  Advent LACC!

What is Advent? It’s the season when we look back to Christ’s first coming, as a baby born in Bethlehem, and look forward to his second coming when he will return to renew and redeem every part of fallen creation

We are looking forward to meeting together this Sunday with God’s people. If you would like to read the passage before we meet, look at Luke 1:46-56. Please join us Sunday at 9:30 a.m. at LACC for worship, giving, advent reading and candle lighting, scripture reading, teaching, and fellowship. 
 

Here are some announcements:  

Community Outreach- If you weren’t able to get tickets for the Christmas Banquet but want to see the show, we have a free community outreach encore performance at Mt. Lassen Theatre on Sat. Dec. 7 at 6 pm. Doors open at 5:15 and seating is limited.

Thank you!!- We want to thank Holli & the Special Events Team for another great Christmas Dinner & Show. What a fantastic effort and opportunity to reach our community for Christ. It was a great evening!
