Summer Sounds at LCR: Two Post-Worship Recitals

/in , , , , /by

This July, linger a little longer after worship and enjoy two special musical offerings in the sanctuary.

On July 6, our Director of Worship Julian Calvin presents a Lunchtime Piano Recital, featuring works by Beethoven and Chopin, three lively Scott Joplin rags, and a bold arrangement of A Mighty Fortress Is Our God. It’s a joyful mix of classical and American piano traditions.

Then on July 20, take in the rich, expressive sounds of the organ during an Organ Recital: Classics & Spirituals, featuring music by Buxtehude and Rheinberger, along with moving arrangements of well-known Spirituals.

Both recitals begin after worship, around 11:00 a.m. and last about 45 minutes; a perfect way to pause, reflect, and enjoy the gift of music.

Serving Through Fellowship

During the month of March, the LCR Serving Ministries (Outreach) Team is assisting by serving the refreshments during our weekly Fellowship Hour between services on Sunday mornings.

On March 9, the LCR team for Must Ministries will be serving and having an underwear collection for MUST clients, on March 16 the LCR team for YELLS will be serving and on March 23, the LCR Team for Guatemala will be serving.

Serving others is at the heart of our congregation and these teams look forward to serving the members of LCR as they do the broader community outside of our church throughout the year.

Good Fellowship Dinners – Spring 2025

/in , , , /by

Looking to connect with others in our church community over a relaxed meal? Join the Good Fellowship Dinners, a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow members and build new friendships. Adults will gather in small groups at each other’s homes from February through May. If hosting isn’t feasible or if you can’t commit for all four months, you can still participate as a substitute.

How It Works:

  • Who: All adults are welcome! Whether you’re single or part of a couple, you can join in.
  • What: Monthly dinners with rotating hosts and guests, offering a chance to meet different people each time.
  • Where: Hosts will choose the location—be it their home or another venue. Creativity is encouraged!
  • When: Hosts will coordinate with their assigned guests about two weeks in advance to set the date and time.
  • Bring: Hosts provide the main entrée, while guests bring appetizers, sides, or desserts. Everyone is responsible for their own beverages.

If you need to cancel, let your host know as soon as possible so a substitute can be arranged. For any questions or to contact a host, reach out to Nancy Papp at nancy.papp@harrynorman.com or Jill Gadebusch at jillgadebusch@gmail.com.

Join Us for Book Club!

Puddy’s Pages book club, formerly the LCR book club, is named after our beloved leader Meribeth Cooper. Puddy was her nickname and after her passing, the book club wanted to remember Meribeth, her love of books and her ability to bring us together. She was the leader for 6 years and the book club has met for more than 20 years!

My favorite aspect of Puddy’s Pages is the casual setting where we discuss the books, and members share opinions as well as life experiences. Members have even shared memories and photos from travels in regions related to the books. Hearing their firsthand experiences makes for great discussion and provides a deeper perspective on a topic or setting. We even learned how an elephant chased a member!

The club meets every 6 weeks, and readers are welcome to bring food and drinks to share. At the end of the year, readers suggest books for the next reading season. We then vote on the books we would like to read. Each month, we ask a volunteer to lead that month’s book discussion which can be done either in-person or virtually using whatever format they prefer.

Puddy’s Pages will have their kick-off party in September for the 2024-25 reading season. A Zoom link is also available each month for anyone who cannot attend in person. Please join us for the season or even just a month. All are welcome!
