Small GroupsDon’t do life alone!Finding your people can be tough!We understand that finding a group of people who really feel like family can be hard work.

Beyond that, we also know that our greatest moments of spiritual growth come when we are challenged by people care about and who truly care about us.

We encourage you to give one or more of our groups a trial run to see which group might work out best for you.

For a current listing of small groups and meeting times, check out our weekly announcement posts.

The following was sent out as a church-wide email at the beginning of March. I’m re-posting it on our website for those who may have missed our Commitment Sunday message or who may not have received the email.

Our Mission & Vision for 2023We’ve had a simple mission for the past number of years: We help people follow Jesus. And we do it one step at a time. We believe that everyone, regardless of spiritual background, upbringing, or current life circumstances has a step of spiritual growth to take. That’s the model we see in Jesus. He would always find people where they were, at whatever point in time he found them, and then he would challenge them to take a step—a step of faith, repentance, commitment, obedience, just one step at a time.

So for 2023, we’re going to focus on building relationships. Relationships are a vital part of helping people follow Jesus. Far too often, Christians just want to shove some bible verses in a non-Christian’s face and then we act surprised when that person doesn’t want anything to do with the church.

John 13 says this: 34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

If you just tell a stranger they need Jesus, there’s a good chance they won’t accept it well. But if you make friends and show them the love of Jesus, they’re a lot more likely to accept it.

Our leadership team has been brainstorming ways to encourage relationship-building this year. The monthly social events (game night, axe throwing, craft days, etc.) that we’ve started having are part of this. These events are a great time to get together with your church family outside of a Sunday morning church service and get to know them better. These events are also great opportunities for inviting a friend, neighbor, or co-worker who may never otherwise set foot in a church.

Now don’t get me wrong, our goal is not to turn the church into a social club. We’re still going to be teaching the bible and taking time to worship Jesus. Our Sunday morning service is where we’ve been the strongest the past couple years, and it’s time for us to focus on areas where we haven’t been the strongest.

The stronger our connections and relationships are with each other, the greater our abilities will be to weather the storms of life and be the hands and feet of Jesus. We’ll be better able to notice when someone is hurting or struggling. We’ll be better able to support others, and we’ll notice when someone who has been part of our church family stops coming, so we can reach out and make sure everything’s OK.

Likewise, when someone comes for the first time on a Sunday morning, we want to make sure they feel welcomed and make connections with others in the church. A visitor is much more likely to come back if they make connections during their visit. That’s why we take a few minutes during services to have our weekly discussion question. It’s an easy way to break the ice and start a conversation with someone you don’t already know, and that simple conversation can branch off into something even more meaningful.

We also want to make sure people aren’t falling through the cracks. To help with that, we’ve put together a “follow-up” team, that takes some time during the week to follow-up with visitors and any comments that are left on our Connect Cards. Likewise, they’ll also be taking time to follow-up with people that we haven’t seen for a while, to make sure everything is OK, and see if they have any prayer needs.

But what about outreach amongst the community? After all, our name is“Lafayette Community Church.”

We’ve done several larger community outreach events in the past. Unfortunately, these events require a lot of resources and funds to do them well and be effective. It’s something our leadership team will be evaluating as we go through the year. We definitely want to be involved in the community. However, I also think it can be good to take a bit of a break and focus on strengthening ourselves, so we can be more effective at reaching our community.

Our MembershipLCC does membership differently than most churched. Our membership expires each year, and we ask people to recommit to membership. This year, membership is especially important, as the hiring of a new lead pastor requires a vote from the active members.

If you like what we’re doing around here, and our mission and vision for reaching the community, we’d love to have you join us in membership for the year. If you’re not ready to make that commitment, that’s OK too. You can become a member at anytime throughout the year. Especially if you’re new, we encourage you to take some time and prayer about it. Likewise, you don’t have to be a member to be part of our church family.

If you’re ready to make that commitment, here are the qualifications outlined in our bylaws:

A personal commitment of faith in Jesus Christ for salvation
Baptism by immersion as a public testimony of salvation, or other evidence of faith as determined by the Elders
A continuing commitment to abide by the Membership Covenant affirmed by signature and approved by the Board of Elders

In the past, we had an additional membership covenant that outlined some additional requirements for membership. Our elders and leadership team have decided, especially with the pastoral transition this year, to simplify things. So this year, our membership covenant is simply this:

In agreement with the mission, vision, and governing documents of Lafayette Community Church, I will live in unity with this church for this year.

If you would like to make a commitment to membership this year, you can fill out the online form at https://lafayettecc.org/go/membership2023 or we’ve got paper commitment cards in the auditorium and lobby at the church.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out! Emails sent to office@lafayettecc.org will get forwarded to the proper people, or you can email the Elder team (elders@lafayettecc.org) or treasurer (treasurer@lafayettecc.org). We’re excited for what God has in store for our church this year!

FusionOur multi-church youth ministry, Fusion, will be meeting tonight, at 5:15pm, at Innovation Church.

Join a GroupOur church has three small group opportunities we think you should consider joining:

Sundays, 5:30pm. Matt and Dani Bastian host a group at their house (close to the church building) on Sundays from 5:30-6:30pm. It’s a BYOD (bring your own dinner) group that uses the time to reflect on the week’s message and have sometimes wide-ranging discussions. Contact Matt (570-556-6753) or Dani (570-490-4572) for more details.
Tuesdays, 6:30pm. Joe Burgess hosts a group in West Lafayette on Tuesday evenings from 6:30pm-8:00pm. Contact Joe (317-313-7773) for more details.
Wednesday, 7:00pm. We encourage members of our church to join with Living Truth of Christ Church each Wednesday for a multi-racial Bible Study led by Pastor James Foster. Come in person or join by Zoom through Pastor Foster’s Zoom Link: https://lafayettecc.org/go/zoom-foster

How to ContributeWe also know that there is a lot of financial uncertainty in our world today, and we are doing our best to run our operations as lean as possible, but we still need to pay the bills, so if you can, please contribute your financial support in person on Sundays, by mail, or by electronic donations.

We’ve reserved a couple lanes at the Spinning Axe tomorrow, starting at 5:30pm. Cost is $22 per person. If you’re interested in coming and haven’t RSVP’d yet, let Natalie Guthrie know at 202-445-1715 so we can make sure we have enough lanes. It’s going to be a spinning good time!

Welcome!We’re so glad you have found us. Our whole aim is to help you follow Jesus. Life is complex, but following Jesus doesn’t have to be hard. We want to help you no matter where you are on your spiritual journey.

Church Membership & Commitment SundayOur church handles membership differently than most churches, in that our membership roster resets every year. In the past, we’ve held a “Commitment Sunday” on the first Sunday in February. This year, we’re pushing our Commitment Sunday back a couple weeks, to February 26th. This will give us a couple extra weeks to prepare, share more about our vision for the year, and provide more updates on the lead pastor search.

Axe Throwing Event Saturday February 25thCome try your hand at axe throwing! We’ve reserved a couple lanes at the Spinning Axe on Saturday, February 25th. Cost is $22 per person. If you’re interested in coming, please contact Natalie Guthrie at 202-445-1715 to RSVP.

Pastoral TransitionWe want to invite everyone to take part in a church-wide survey next week. We’ll be taking some time at the end of our Commitment Sunday service to work on this survey together. Whether it’s your first time attending, or you’ve been coming for years, we would love to have your input.

In times of darkness, it’s hard to see the lights God brings into our lives. There are two lights that we always have no matter what.

The story of Ruth says, “Yes!”

Every year, LCC runs what we call our “Generosity Project” around Christmastime to encourage the people of our church to embrace a spirit of generosity in the spirit of our savior himself.

This year, we want to kick it up a notch by challenging not only our congregation but also other local congregations to help us knock out One Million Dollars of Indiana medical debt through a partnership with RIP Medical Debt!

RIP Medical Debt is a non-profit organization that exists to purchase unpaid medical debt and then forgive it. For $1, they can purchase and forgive $100 of medical debt, so that means to liberate people in Indiana from $1,000,000 of medical debt, we only need to raise $10,000!

Toward that end, LCC has set aside a fund of $5000 in the form of a matching grant.

Every dollar that is donated to our 2020 Million Dollar Miracle Project will get matched from this fund!

But we don’t want to stop there. We want as many churches to join us as possible, and so we are challenging other churches to follow our lead in creating a matching grant of any size for your people.

Why stop at one million dollars? Can you imagine the boost to our witness if people hear how the churches in Lafayette joined together to eliminate millions of dollars of medical debt for people they don’t even know?

This Christmas, let’s let our light shine!

DONATE NOW

Are you a Church Leader? If you are a leader of a church, we challenge you to join us. Here are three ways you can:

Run your own matching grant effort, make your own donations to RIP Medical Debt’s Indiana Campaign and report to us by Christmas Eve how much money you gave, so we can add your total to our city wide total.
Make a church donation to our matching grant fund and challenge your people to participate. We’ll add your church name here along with your donation.
Just tell your people to visit this page and make their own donations. Our funds will match all donations no matter where they come from!

I hope you can join us!

It’s time we learn that we are only heroic when we are sidekicks of the true hero.

Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Judges 19-21

Fusion Youth • Sunday Evenings Open to students grade 6-12, the multi-fellowship Fusion youth group will be meeting at Innovation Church (2502 Mondavi Blvd), for the month of October, outside (with heaters!) under The Big Tent.

Christmas For Everyone Christmas For Everyone is a program coordinated by Faith Church that provides Christmas gifts for children in Tippecanoe County. Low-income families register their children for the program, and Faith Church assigns sponsorship of these families to various churches in Lafayette. This year, LCC has committed to sponsoring 25 kiddos, and you all have claimed 21 so far! We just need 4 more sponsor commitments!

This year, LCC will not be a host church for Distribution Day, but you can still volunteer at another host church.

Here are ways you can participate:

Sponsor a child: You’ll be given info such as name, age, gift ideas, and clothing sizes to help you pick out the perfect gifts. The amount to be spent is $40/child. We’ll most likely be able to distribute info to sponsors the weekend of November 6, with gifts being returned to us by the weekend of December 7.
Volunteer for Distribution Day on December 12: We’re still getting info put together about how to volunteer at a host church.
Pray for the event: Continue to pray for the families and volunteers putting it all together. This year is an especially challenging time for both the families needing support and the folks organizing everything in ways that are safe yet effective and loving.

Would you take a moment to fill out this form and let us know if you can participate this year? For inquiries, reach out to Amanda Schoolcraft via phone (765-346-7134) or email (aschoolc@gmail.com).

We had some livestream problems today and in the process lost about 5 minutes of my message. I’ll re-record that part tomorrow and upload a new video Tuesday with the whole message! (The part that got cut out was one of my favorite parts.)

In this week’s passage, we learn of Israel’s first king and also how everything about him was a mistake.

Matrix LifeCare Center • Move For Life! It’s not too late to support the Matrix LifeCare Center virtual fundraiser! Pastor Jeff started a team for the people of LCC and you are welcome and encouraged to join us in whatever capacity works for you! It will continue through October 25.

Christmas For Everyone We have made an initial commitment to sponsor 25 kids this year, but in this case, more is so much better. This year, things are different, so we’re gathering some early information regarding who can participate and if we need to increase our committed sponsorship number. Distribution Day is December 12; locations are still unknown.

Would you take a moment to fill out this form and let us know if you can participate this year? As we gather more details, we’ll update you here.

Tippecanoe COVID-19 Stats

This chart is updated daily with a 14-day rolling average of new COVID cases in Tippecanoe County, so the chart will show data from after this post was written.

Although, our daily number of cases seems relatively low, we are still seeing an increase in cases, and therefore, we have decided to keep our worship experiences primarily virtual through the end of 2020.

We are planning to do something cool around Christmas Eve that might be able to get us together in some fashion, but Sunday mornings will stay virtual primarily.

There are a few reasons we are making this decision now:

Most of all, we just wanted to give all of us some clarity regarding Sunday worship. With charts like this, we just don’t see any reason for us to make plans for gatherings in our building in the short term, and to give us all some peace of mind, we’re just calling it for the rest of the year too.
Secondly, based on our survey last week, all of you expressed an appreciation for our caution and a willingness to be patient, and even though many of you said you were eager to get back together, you also clearly affirmed that you weren’t in any kind of rush.
Thirdly, we actually are meeting in limited fashion, in person, in the building, on Sundays. We just haven’t advertised it much. Nevertheless, we want you to feel free to come, so we have improved our system of reserving your spot for Sundays. You don’t need to text the office or send an email anymore. Just click here: SAVE MY SEAT. That page will tell you how many spots are still available for Sunday, and it will let you reserve a spot for you.

SAVE MY SEATNone of us expected 2020 to turn out the way it has, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be an effective family together. Please know that you are still loved, that we are still here for you, and that a Sunday morning done virtually doesn’t have to be bad. Tell your friends about our live stream, and join them in a chat or phone call to talk about what you learned or what God said to you through our worship experience… and then live it out all week long!

Oh… and make sure you let us know how we can be praying for you. Our Facebook Group is great for that, and for more private requests, our prayer request form is still active too.

What could have been two messages is put together in this one because too often, we hear the story of Gideon as a hero without flaws… well, that’s not quite true.

Service Sunday • September 27 This Sunday, we’re gathering for a shorter worship and “pep talk” type virtual gathering at 10:15am. Then, we’ll all spend some late morning/afternoon time in our own neighborhoods (or join a friend in theirs!) picking up trash, serving neighbors, prayer walking, etc. And finally, from 5-7pm, we’ll be gathering together for a cookout out at the Horstman’s. Bring your own meat for us to grill up for ya, and whatever other sides, dessert, and drink you want. This won’t be potluck style, we won’t be sharing food, but we will certainly grill meat together and fellowship! They’ll have some games set up, like disc golf, soccer goals, and horseshoes. Their address can be found in this private Facebook event, or you can text the office number, at 765-537-8799, for the address and directions.

Service September • All Month Long As Pastor Jeff has said numerous times, we want our church to be known more for our service than for our services, and we want to be known as people who serve more than people who hold events. We’re working on the following service this month:

ALL MONTH – Collecting and donating masks, underwear, and socks for the homeless
Week 2 – Blessing your neighbors
Week 3 – Blessing our neighbors through prayer
THIS WEEK – Blessing our neighborhoods through action

Matrix LifeCare Center • Move For Life! Matrix LifeCare Center is once again holding their annual fundraiser, but this year, it’s going virtual.

Made For More Class • Paused The Tuesday evening Made For More Bible Study is paused for the time being.
