There are a number of ways you can “plug in” to what’s happening at LCC. Here is a quick overview of those opportunities:

• Welcome Team (greeters, hospitality, KIDOPOLIS registration table)
• KIDOPOLIS (teachers, helpers, musicians, crafty folks)
• Worship Band (musicians, vocalists, computer programmers)
• Creative Team (producers, dreamers, event planners, artists, designers)
• AV Team (sound board, computer graphics, video production)
• Graphic Arts (paintings, drawings, graphic design)
• Life Groups (host homes, facilitators, participants)
• Mentors (follow-up, personal coaching)

If you are ready to serve in any of these areas, simply send an email to volunteer@lafayettecc.org.

LCC is trying to do what Jesus did: Give People Life. Part of our strategy is a program developed by Rick Warren at Saddleback Community Church called P.E.A.C.E. The letters stand for Promote Reconciliation, Equip Servant Leaders, Assist the Poor, Care for the Sick, and Educate the Next Generation. We use P.E.A.C.E. as a strategic framework for everything we do outside the walls of our church.

LCC will be hosting its first ever “Oil My Ride” event on Saturday, June 11th (time TBA). We will be offering free oil changes and car vacuuming services to anybody in the community right here in the LCC parking lot.

We need:

• Volunteers to do the oil changes OR vacuuming
• Ramps or jacks to boost cars up for the oil changes .
• Other oil changing equipment (whatever that might be!)
• Other volunteers to mingle with customers and/or entertain the kiddos.

Since there are too many different kinds of oil and oil filters, we will ask customers to bring their own and we will do the rest (even show them how to change their own oil to save more money in the future). We will need lots of help to pull this event off! If you are able to help with any of these opportunities or have materials we could borrow for the event, please write it down on your Sunday Connect Card and/or contact Tara Olivo.

Faith Baptist Church here in Lafayette has donated $2200 to us, so we can buy some more chairs! Praise God for brothers and sisters of vision and generosity who believe in what’s going on here at LCC!

This Sunday (May 15), we will be learning about how to quit the things that destroy intimacy in relationships, and as part of our discussion, we will enter (not too deeply) into some topics of human sexuality.

If you regularly bring your children into the adult service, we want to encourage you this week to check them into our amazing KIDOPOLIS program.

If you want a sneak preview of our topic, we invite you to spend a few minutes on Proverbs 5.

P.E.A.C.E. is a global effort to attack the five biggest problems in the world the way Jesus himself did. Its goals are to Promote Reconciliation, Equip Servant Leaders, Assist the Poor, Care for the Sick, and Educate the Next Generation.”

P.E.A.C.E. is the strategy of Lafayette Community Church to make a positive difference in Lafayette and around the world.

THIS WEEKEND, we are coordinating people to help with the USPS food drive. If you want to help, here are the details we got from Lesley Morgan who is coordinating the effort:

Some carriers could really use some help. As only employees can be in a postal vehicle, volunteers for this would need to have their own vehicle to get out to the route. If it is a route they deliver from their truck, they can follow and pick up the food. If it is a walking route, the volunteer would meet the carrier and walk with them and pick up the food.

As far as shifts go, it might almost be easier for a volunteer to tell me how long and when they could work and I could match them with a carrier. Carriers leave for the street between 9-10 AM and would be done between 3-4 PM. So a volunteer could work the whole route or just part of it, depending on their availability. I would just match them up based on that. If it is easier to post something with specific shifts, I would say 9:30 to noon and 12:30 to 3. I hope this is not too confusing. Please don’t hesitate to call me with questions.

Thanks, Lesley Morgan 765-447-8933

All the food collected by postal workers will be brought to the Post Office on US 26, and will be sorted and received by Food Finders. There is a big need for volunteers there too to do the sorting. The contact person for that is Danielle Goldberg with Food Finders; her email is dgoldberg@food-finders.org. If you want to help, you MUST contact Danielle and sign up for a specific time so they know to expect you!
