An e-newsletter of news and upcoming events. Issue 95 (06.19.10)

   I want to send out a very special thank you to all of you who came and supported the "State of the Church" address on June 6th.  Stephanie and I are so excited about what God is doing here at LC and you play a major role in the success of this ministry.
   I'm still believing and praying for a jubilee year for both you and our church.  I'm so anxious to get phase one of our building campaign completed so that we can actually start tackling the opportunity to break ground and build a larger facility with a gymnasium and enough classrooms for our children's ministry and schools - not to discount a larger sanctuary too.  Be sure to read the details below about our new building fund fundraiser, MyShoppingGenie.com.
   Both Stephanie and I are so proud of all our church family.  You all inspire us to greatness and you are a part of this great legacy!

   On Sunday, June 20th, LC will be having water baptisms during the 11 a.m. service.   If you've never been water baptized before, there's no better time to go H2O with your faith and experience this life changing moment to express yourself to all of your commitment to the Lord.
   If you've been water baptized as a young baby or child and you would like to follow the example of Jesus in being fully immersed under the water, then Sunday, June 20th can be for you as well.   To get water baptized or for more details, contact Pastor Daren.

  This Sunday on Father's Day, June 20, LC will have a prize drawing for all of the dads that attend each morning service.  The prize is a pair of Cleveland Browns tickets for this season ($50 value)! Invite all the dads you know.  It is going to be a fun day honoring all our awesome dads of Legacy!!
   Pastor Daren has a special message just for the dads entitled, "Making Everyday Count!"  A special gift will be given to each father as well.  Thank you to all you dads for all you do in your family, church and community!

***The parade committe is asking for donations of candy and water bottles to pass out at the parade.  The water bottles will have a label put on them with LC's info.  Please have the water bottles at the church by Wednesday, June 23rd. so that the labels can be placed on each bottle!***

   During this hard economic season, some of our household of faith families are in need of food items and transportation.  If you can donate groceries or help provide transportation to those of our church family in need, please contact Amy Julien.

   We are so excited for 2010!  This is a year of jubilee for Legacy Church and our church families!  God is going to be bringing about freedom (debt, emotional, spiritual, and physical) this year in our personal lives and in our church through MIRACULOUS wonders of our awesome God!
   We've already heard multiple testimonies so far this year of people becoming forgiven of debts miraculously. We are ready and expecting all of our Legacy families to be a part of these kinds of miracles and take back the land that God promised us, and to be free from the bondages that enslave us as believers.
   If you have not heard this year's vision from Pastor Todd, then please make sure you get copies of his "Vision Sunday" messages for 2010 and beyond!

MIRACLE VISION FOR LC:  As a church body, we are seeking the face of God through our prayers for our church to become MIRACULOUSLY DEBT FREE THIS YEAR so that we can proceed to Phase II of our building program to build a new church facility that will house a larger sanctuary and more classrooms.

PRAISE REPORTS

   The L-evate Youth Ministry meets every Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. for their weekly "Wednesday Night Live" services.  This youth service is a youth-owned and operated ministry with training provided by the Youth Ministry team leaders.
    The youth do the work of the ministry from the praise & worship (musicians and vocalists) to the audio/visual, the ushering, and even giving some devotionals.  We want to help them cultivate a relationship with God that will last past their teenage years.  This gives them responsibility and provides them a purpose to show that God can use them right now in their youth years!.  For more info, please contact our Legacy Youth Team Leaders, Jim & Amy Julien.

 
   LCA is a ministry of Legacy Church and is a state-licensed and safety approved preschool.  It's an exciting learning program designed for ages 18 months through preschool age.  Our programs are Christ-centered with the guidance of Christian leaders and teachers.  Doctrinal issues are not a part of our teaching curriculum.  We view our role as a partnership with the parents to meet each child’s need.
    The Christian school is not a school just merely for the sake of academics, but for the sake of fulfilling the church’s God-ordained role in carrying out the Christian education mandate (Deut. 6:7, Prov. 22:6, II Tim. 3:15-17).  Just as we believe it would be wrong to place our children under the influence of godless teachers, so we believe it would be wrong to place them under the influence of godless, humanistic readers and teaching materials.  Our objective at LCA is the following:

• To provide a loving, caring, quality child care--paying primary attention to their safety and wellbeing, emotional and social growth, as well as intellectual and spiritual development.

• To provide an atmosphere where your child can build a strong, realistic self-image.

• To provide guidance that will enable your child to adapt to adults and to children their own age.
