Our Vision – “Shining Christ’s Light with Worship, Missions, Education, Connections”

Thought to ponder: "With all the peoples who done lived and died 'fore us, don't you think the Almighty's heard just about everything there is to hear? People been railin' at Him since the beginnin' of time. But He still loved this old world enough to send His only Son to bring us back to Him. Don't that say a lot about Him? 'Bout how much He loves us? How much He wants to take care of us?" ~ Colors of Truth by Tamera Alexander
Worship Schedule: LUMC is not meeting in person at this time for the health and protection of all. We are mailing, emailing and keeping the church website up to date. www.LightstreetUMC.org
Worship options:
The Book Club has chosen to read “Truths I Never Told You” by Kelly Rimmer. There is a copy of this thought-provoking book in the LUMC library.

The large classroom in the Lighthouse will be available for those who do not wish to ZOOM.
Lenten Bible study: Tuesdays, February 16 – March 23. Each of us longs to believe in a living, loving, miracle-working God who won't think twice about stepping into the thorny thickets of our world and lifting us out. Join Max Lucado and Pastor Ron as we travel through Max's study "You Are Never Alone." Max will look at the miracles told in John's Gospel and reveal how God is still active and at work in our lives. We are stronger than we think because God is nearer than we know. When Jesus is in our lives, we are never truly alone. Contact Pastor Ron (rfrench@susumc.org) or call the church secretary and sign up for the 10:00 am in person or 6:30 pm ZOOM. The book is $10. Deadline to register is January 24, allowing extra time for book delivery.
