Awesome to hear a guy like Drew talk about his relationship with Jesus! Congrats to Brees and the Saints!
Online service! Sunday, Feb 7 2010
Uncategorized 11:44 am
We had a great attendance at our online service this morning. It’s hard to get an accurate total, but well over 200 people watching that we know of…but no way to really know. We’re just happy to be able to touch lives and encourage believers in this way.
Unfortunately the “RECORD” feature did not work so there is no replay available.
The only technical difficulty was with the closing video announcement we played. Sorry about this…but no biggie – you can go back to our streaming site now and see Sherri’s announcement there about the women’s retreat.
Next week – new series begins – ALL ABOUT LOVE – check it out on our website!

Sunday Service will be online! Friday, Feb 5 2010
Uncategorized 8:35 pm
This Sunday we will not be having worship services at Woodbridge Middle School…but we’ll be gathering online.
Don’t miss it. We will wrap up the Football Frenzy series with a message entitled FANDAMONIUM. I will be talking about what it means to be a TRUE FAN. Be sure to get over to the church website early (www.lifecc.us) and download the message notes and make sure you are linked into the video cast. I will be preaching live from my basement 
There’s also a place on the streaming video page for chat…so create a user name when you get there so you can participate in “Meet & Greet” time!
Also – use this as an opportunity for outreach. Post the info on your facebook status…maybe you’ll influence a friend for Christ this weekend!
Another very cool thing happening is in the Ashland community…about 5 of our church families in walking distance are coming together for a time of worship and fellowship before the video cast begins which they will watch together on their big screen TV. You know if you have a PS3 or Xbox that connect to the Internet or a laptop with connections, you could watch on TV rather than your computer screen.
Be praying that it all goes smoothly.
Stay home and stay safe!
Updated Snow Plan for Sunday, Feb 7th Thursday, Feb 4 2010
Uncategorized 11:14 am
Unless something drastic changes, it is highly unlikely LCC will be able to gather for worship this Sunday at Woodbridge Middle School. Two weeks in a row without a gathering is crazy! But do not despair…we have a plan in place for an online gathering this Sunday morning at 10:30 am. I will be doing a LIVE broadcast of the message from my home. We’ll have webpage up on Saturday with details and links to include a place to register your attendance, download the message notes, and a link to the live broadcast. In fact you can go ahead and bookmark the page now and register at the site. Registration is completely optional, but it will allow you to interact and post comments on the message board while I’m speaking. Here’s the website: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/life-community-church. Sorry…but you’ll be on your own for the tailgate party!
a snow pic Wednesday, Feb 3 2010

A pretty snow…I’d prefer this one on the weekend rather than the foot being predicted, but oh well. Here’s a picture this morning into our backyard. Pretty cool – we saw a family of 4 deer yesterday down in the trees just before the snow began…I couldn’t find my bow or rifle in time

Sunday Services cancelled! Saturday, Jan 30 2010
Uncategorized 7:00 pm
It’s hard to believe we are getting hit on a Sunday twice in one winter, but we have to cancel tomorrow’s services due to the weather. We are at the mercy of Prince William County Schools since we rent their building. All PWCS are officially closed for all activities tomorrow.
This is one of those storms where if we had our own building, we most likely could plow our lot and have our guys up there clearing sidewalks! Oh well…God is in complete control, so nothing we can do but enjoy the time with family and stay safe. As cold as it’s going to be tonight, the roads are still going to be tough to travel in the morning.
Get out your Bible and do some family devotion time.
If you don’t have a personal Bible reading plan, check out www.youversion.com. This is a free service that offers more than 20 Bible reading plans in a multitude of versions. It’s also available as a free app for many phones. Check it out!
This Week’s Enews Thursday, Jan 28 2010
Uncategorized 10:02 am
The FOOTBALL FRENZY continues this Sunday, January 31st at LCC. This Sunday’s message: FANDAMONIUM. Don’t miss the excitement. Invite your friends. Immediately after the service we are having a TAILGATE party. A few of our men will have their grills going outside in the cold while we are worshipping inside! This is a FREE churchwide fellowship…no need to bring anything…another great opportunity for you to invite your friends as well as make some new friends.
Don’t miss our Women’s Retreat, March 5th and 6th. Picture this: “You, on a retreat, enjoying a night away at the Hilton Garden Inn Fairfax, relaxing with friends and making new ones, letting God speak into your too often hurried life.” It’s a nice picture isn’t it? Make it a reality! Capture the date on your calendar before anything else crowds out your once-a-year opportunity to take this important time away. If you are fairly new to LCC, please know you will be warmly welcomed at the retreat. More information and early registration discount available at www.lifecc.us. You can also contact our Women’s Ministry Leader, Sherry Feehs at womensministry@lifecc.us.
Our youth group (grades 6-12) meets tonight – our regular Thursday night youth group meeting tonight at 7 pm. Same location as always…check the website for more info or email Donald Buttram at donald@lifecc.us.
Have you checked out our new Google church calendar on our website. This is a great way to plan ahead and stay connected to what is happening at LCC. If you use Google for your personal calendar, you can easily add the church calendar to your own.
See you Sunday…and if you have a football jersey or any kind of apparel…please wear it during this series. Represent your team!
Steve
PS – It looks like the snow this weekend is going to stay to the south, but in case of any changes you can always check: www.stevemarkle.com for any church related information.
