2012 - May - The One-Minute Sermon

2012 - May - On Sunday, May 13th, Pastor Paul Wilcox delivered a one-minute sermon. We knew if you were not there, you may not believe it, so we've posted a video to prove it. The Sermon was accurately titled "The Bible in One Minute." The sermon was the fulfillment of an auction item that Pastor Paul offered up for the service auction on April 15th. The One-Minute Sermon raised more than $500 for Kids Against Hunger in bids which were pooled from most everyone who attended the auction.

2012 - May Mission Blitz

2012 - May - On Saturday, May 12th, dozens of Lovely Lane volunteers helped scoop, pack and seal ingredients for meals for Kids Against Hunger. Then on Sunday, May 13th, after worship service, members of the congregation carried 92 boxes of the packaged meals to the big box truck in the parking lot. Lovely Lane raised $5,000 which paid for the ingredients and materials to package more than 20,000 meals. A big thank you to Karen Loux who coordinated our efforts and to all of the volunteers who pitched in.

See photos from the Mission Blitz packaging event here.
