Preschool Prayer Program Returns

It's time to sign up or renew your sponsorship of an LOCP student through the Preschool Prayer Program. As a sponsor, you are committing to pray for your assigned preschooler throughout the school year. You are also agreeing to pay $25 to cover the cost of your preschoolers' children's bible, and small gifts that are given out through the preschool on your behalf during the year. No additional gifts will be accepted or are required for your assigned child. Please email Brenda at preschooloffice@locirvine.com to sign up, or stop by the preschool table before or after Sunday morning services on August 17th and 24th.

Get Active with Acts

For the rest of the summer, we will be doing a short series on the book of Acts. The series is focused on how best to understand and read this second volume of Luke's two-volume work. While we will not be covering all 28 chapters of this book, we will be looking at some of the book's "greatest hits." We hope you will take time out on Sunday to join Pastor Jonathan in this study.

Upcoming sermons

I (Pastor Jim) have been a pastor for 20 years, all at Light of Christ. I am going to be looking at some sermons in honor of that.

August 24, 31: The infamous donut sermons are returning. These are the sermons that have been talked about the most in my 20 years and we have a lot of new people since who have not been “enlightened” :)

September 7 - October 19: Killing Christians. Based on the book by the same title. Do you want to know why we have persecuted Christians in our weekly prayers? This book is why. This book was humbling and transformational for me. There are a lot of lessons we can learn from those who are persecuted. I will preach on a chapter a week and continue the conversation in Adult Ed.

You do not need to get the book to understand the sermons or Adult Ed. But, it is a good read for those who would like to learn more. The book was written by Tom Doyle. I will have a few copies for those who would rather borrow one.
