Pathways to Vitality

We have as a church made it through the pandemic and we look forward to revival and more participation in the coming months. To continue offering the church and the community our services and the best selection of activities to do this in the long term, we rely on your feedback. 

PATHWAYS TO VITALITY is a small group set up to mobilize this initiative of increasing our Markers of Vitality- which are:

  • Worship attendance
  • Mission
  • Small groups
  • New professions of faith
  • Giving toward missions

We have been collecting feedback over the past few weeks from the congregation and would like to invite you to participate in our survey to prioritize the activities you have fed back to us on the forms. The participation is anonymous and will take about 2 minutes. However, you also have the option to leave us your contact details at the end of the survey for possible queries. If you have any questions, please get in touch with pastor Stew at <stewwarner@outlook.com.

Acts Sermon Series and Bible Study Group

We have nine people signed up for the Acts Bible study group so far. More are welcome to join the group. The study group will meet weekly on Wednesday evenings at 7:15 pm – 8:30 pm beginning October 4. Pastor Warner will preach on a section of Acts on Sunday and the study group will study the same section that week following the sermon. The group session will also be broadcast on Zoom for people who may not be able to be physically present. You can purchase the book “Life Lessons from Acts: Christ’s Church in the World” by Max Lucado from Amazon.com or from other major bookstores or websites. Purchase the study guide prior to attending the class. The group will meet for 12 weeks. We are currently scheduled to meet in the Conference Room next to the church office. We may change locations if the group gets too large. Please let Pastor Warner know if you will be participating in the group.

College Student Care Package Teams

We want to support and encourage college students from LUMC and let them know that we are thinking about and praying for them. We’d like to send care packages to them. We’re looking for a group of people to organize and put together care packages for college students. Let Pastor Warner know if you can help again if you were part of the team last year. New people are also welcome to join the team. We’ll talk about contents and dates to send the packages when we have our first meeting. A meeting date will be set once we know who this year’s team members are. Please contact Pastor Warner if you would like to be part of this team to encourage and support college students from LUMC.

Thanks to all the folks that brought Hero Hotline to life!

And a huge KUDO to Liz Bonner for making this year’s VBS an amazing success!

September Mission Emphasis

The September Mission Emphasis is designated for Oak Park ElementarySchool. Christmas gifts for needy families will be sponsored with children in elementary school & younger for 2023. By your donating in September, we will be able to let the school know how many children we can sponsor this year from LUMC. Names of families are confidential, and we will purchase items or gift cards from wish lists we receive. Please help to support our adopted school with this project this year and make some local children have a happy holiday. Contact Barb Hartmann at ebhartmann1722@gmail.com for any questions, not Oak Park Elementary.

Congregational Care Team

Did you know we have a team of people from our congregation who visit shut-ins?  This team has been visiting and at times taking communion elements to shut-ins.  We currently have fifteen people who are being visited.  We would like to invite more people to be part of this visitation team.  Contact Pastor Warner or Maryellen Reinmiller if you are interested in being part of this caring team, and would like to know more about this caring ministry.
