LBC
SENIOR ADULTS
Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we
trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.
Spending time with family and friends during the holidays can be enjoyable yet stressful. Having to face
the holidays with the memories of burying a family member can be dreadful. LBC will be hosting a Service of Remembrance on Sunday, November 15th at 4 p.m.in our Chapel. We are inviting any who have
lost a loved one (this year or years past) to join us for this special service which includes special music, a
message of hope, as well as an opportunity to light a candle in memory of your loved one. You are invited
to bring a picture of your loved one to display in the Chapel before and during the service. The service
will conclude with light refreshments in the Reception Hall (adjacent to the Worship Center). Our prayer
is that this service will provide hope and comfort with the coming holiday season. Will you make plans
8 now to join us for this special service?

Missions at LBC
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
- 1 Corinthinans 13:3
I am writing this update on October 11th, just a few days after the 1,000 Year Flood. Last week, I
witnessed LBC stand up as a collection and distribution site with no notice. I saw hundreds of our church
members and volunteers from across the community come together in our Family Life Center to unload,
process, sort, and then move tons of much-need relief item across the Midlands. I traveled to numerous
disaster shelters across our area where I met volunteers pouring themselves into helping others. I have
been to homes where scores of volunteers were enduring the tough task of throwing peoples worldly
possessions into piles at the curb and, all the while, the home owners were expressing how blessed they
felt that they and those they loved were safe.
Yes, I have seen faith and hope in the last two weeks but more than that, I have seen love. I have seen
people loving like Christ loves in a genuine, pure, and sacrificial manner. My prayer is after the flood
waters have receded and everything is back to our new normal that as a church we will continue to love
as we never have before.
On October 19th, I will be leaving my position here at LBC to take a staff position with the American Red
Cross as a Disaster Program Manager. We will still be in the area and attending church
here. I must say that serving on the staff here for 19 months has made me even more
committed to LBC. My feelings are a direct reflection of my wonderful relationships
with folks like you.
Thanks for everything.

Our Operation Christmas Child Collection week will be from November 15th through November 22nd
beginning with our special collection service at LBC on the 15th. Collection center hours are posted on
page 11 of The Signal. We have increased our responsibilities with Samaritans Purse from a relay
center to a collection center this year, so the need for volunteers will be even greater. If you would like to
help out with Operation Christmas Child, please contact Jennifer Steele at jennilynn0528@gmail.com.
