NEW

NEW. Just the word itself is enticing and intriguing. There's something inside us all that is drawn to anything new and fresh and possible.

First of all, Sunday night we got to celebrate 71 people who marked their new life in Christ through baptism. It was a great night, not only for baptism but for hanging out, visiting with old friends and meeting new ones. Thank you to everyone who made that a priority and such a huge win.

Second, this weekend, you and I get to be a part of NEW, the next step in the life and journey of LHC. First, all of us are going to be beginning the sermon series New. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be mining the first three chapters of the Bible for insights and principles from the very beginnings of God's interaction with people. Genesis is a rich vein of reality and promise from God that is still so relevant for where we are right now.

Third, the LHC Downtown launch is finally here! Beginning this Sunday at 11am, the Austin Music Hall will be the site of our new campus. For more info or to invite someone to be a part of it, go to www.lhc.org/downtown. There, you'll see a video explaining what's going and how it's going to work.

Finally, don't forget our new worship schedule at the West Campus (aka, the Mother Ship): Sunday, 9:30 & 11:30 a.m., and 5 p.m. The 5 p.m. service will be followed by Core Classes, a slate of classes designed for further spiritual growth and teaching. You can get more info and register for these classes by clicking on this link.

  1. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!! This morning was fantastic. Everything new is so wonderful & exciting!!! LHC Kids - which I thought was fabulous before - is better than ever, thanks to Philip & Laurie & Doug & the whole team. Mark & the band were great, as always. The message was powerful, & the time of invitation at the close was a much-needed & much-appreciated addition. The core classes are going to add even more to an already unbelievable experience. Thank you for your servant leadership, Mac! Thanks to your family & your team & everyone for submitting to God's will for our church & taking us where He wants us to go!!! Oh - and HOORAY for the launch of LHC Downtown!!!
