JOIN US AS WE SERVE OUR LORD JESUS BY SERVING OTHERS:
The apostle James says, “What good is it if you claim to have faith but have no deeds? Suppose someone is without clothes and daily food. If you say, ‘Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,’ but do nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by actions, is dead.”
James reminds us that a living faith will be active and busy. A faith that does nothing to help others is really no faith at all. We are called to put our faith into action, specifically by helping those without clothing and food.
Last year, our local Food Pantries distributed over 2,500,000 pounds of food. They served about 20,000 regular families and many other occasional recipients. That is why we continue to collect food for the Food Pantries. Remember our Food Pantries rely totally on local donations.
HELP US AT OUR NEXT FOOD DRIVE AT THE MADISON STOP & SHOP: SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 10:00-3:00 PM: During the season of Lent, we will seek to serve others in our shoreline communities. Volunteer for our Food Drive and help us collect donations. Sign up today!
LCM IS A PREMIER PARTNER WITH THE RED CROSS: We host about 12 Red Cross Blood Drives every year and collect about 650 units of blood each year. These blood donations go to regional hospitals to help people facing various health issues. Our church members volunteer to help host these Blood Drives. Many also make regular blood donations.
OUR ST. PAULY USED CLOTHING SHED IS VERY BUSY: Last year, we collected about 52,000 pounds of used clothing to distribute to people in need, both here and around the world. That is enough clothing to help about 9,700 people. We want to thank everyone for their support and donations!

OUR CHURCH HOME IS:
- A PLACE FOR WORSHIP: We meet together to worship Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We joyfully give Christ our praise, adoration and thanksgiving. We come to receive his blessing and gifts. Worship is a special time of spiritual refreshment and renewal. Join us this weekend! Receive God's peace in Christ.
- A PLACE FOR LEARNING: Studying the Bible is vital. We believe its message and accept it as God’s Word. The Bible is truthful, alive and relevant to life today. Learning the Scriptures together is a thrilling adventure. We offer several different Bible Studies every week to strengthen your spiritual life.
- A PLACE FOR ENRICHMENT: For every person at every age level, we offer a wealth of opportunities – special programs, service projects and events for children, youth and adults. You can be sure that in this kaleidoscope of activities there’s more than one place where you can be personally enriched.
- A PLACE FOR FRIENDSHIP: Nothing quite compares to the joy of Christian friendship. That’s why we make it a priority to build lasting bonds between the members of our church family – bonds of concern and genuine commitment to one another. Best of all, this circle of care is ever widening. We’d love for it to include you, too!
- A PLACE FOR SERVICE: Just as our Lord Jesus Christ came "not to be served, but to serve," we accept our calling to reach out to others in mercy and compassion. We seek to serve our Lord and our community. We are called to serve all people with love, mercy, and compassion. Join us as we work together to glorify God's name!
