Preschool Reopening
A “Ray” of sunshine flooded our church and Day School campus last week when the LCC Day School was finally able to have the official ribbon cutting for the re-opening of the Preschool! Tampa Bay Rays mascots Raymond and DJ Kitty were on hand to help us celebrate this milestone event in the life of […]
Calm Between the Storms
Now that many of us who have been affected by the 2024 Hurricanes are beginning to get our lives back together, with restoration, relocation and reconstruction of our homes and church facilities, there is one other “r” that we need to consider: Renewal. We’ve all been through a lot, and even those of us whose […]
Update on Our Rebuilding
If you’re anything like your pastors, you’re getting itchy to get our church back to normal. Pastor Bruce and Pastor Lisa are especially eager to get their offices off of their kitchen table! With that in mind, we’d like to give you a progress report so you will know that there is indeed light at […]
A New Year of a New Year
For LCC 2025 will certainly be a true new year of a New Year’s. We will be celebrating our history and also crafting new ways forward that build on the roots and strengths of our church. So as this new year starts, let’s take a peek at what will be happening that is new and […]
Happy New Year
In my family, we had a tradition I’m sure many of you also had: In the seconds before the new year would arrive, my mother would get out her broom, open the front door, and symbolically “sweep out the bad” as she looked forward to the coming of the new year. Bidding a not-so-fond farewell […]
Spirit of Giving at LCC
Despite some of the hardships facing our LCC community, it is nice to see that the spirit of giving is as strong as ever for those in need. The giving for hurricane assistance this year surpassed the donations for assistance after Hurricane Idalia, in spite of the fact that many of our givers had themselves […]

Preparing for Christ(mas)
This Sunday, we return to the season of Advent, which we celebrate as the weeks before Christmas that anticipate the coming of Christ into our world and into our lives. As much as our focus is on preparing for the commemoration of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem, perhaps our focus this year might turn toward, not […]
V2A Grant for Family Worship
Our church is once again the recipient of a grant from the Florida-Bahamas Synod Vision-to-Action program. V2A was launched in 2023 as the granting program of the Florida-Bahamas Synod to fund innovative new ministries focused on intentional evangelism and growing new faith communities.
