Life Change Tullahoma Update 8.25.18

IN THIS UPDATE: A note from Pastor Christian; Covenant Membership Class, August 26th; Worship at the Ranch, September 15; Baptism at the Ranch, September 15; LCCT Community Serve Project at East Middle School, September 22.

Hello Life Change Tullahoma Friends and Family! 

Exciting things are ahead for Life Change Tullahoma! I want to encourage you to be with us this Sunday, August 26th as we continue on our ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT series with The Attitude of Generosity. We'll be discussing what it takes to go from an Attitude of Self-Gratification to an Attitude of Generosity. Looking forward to seeing you there! PCW

I wanted to take a few minutes to highlight some of the activities and events coming up for you at Life Change. To see ALL that is coming up at Life Change visit the calendar page of our website by clicking HERE.

Covenant Membership Class, Sunday, August 26 from 11:30 - 12:15 - At Life Change Church Tullahoma we believe in Covenant Membership. Church Membership is not something you will find in the Bible; however, the Bible does place a major emphasis on covenants. In short, a covenant is an agreement or understanding between two parties or between God and an individual. When a person becomes a Covenant member of Life Change Church they are to: Protect the Unity of the Church, Share in the Responsibility of the Church, Serve the Ministry of the Church, and Support the Testimony of the Church. If you are interested in becoming a Covenant Member of LCCT please join us on Sunday, August 26 following the worship service for our Covenant Membership Class. Attending the class does not mean you have to become a Covenant Member, and will ultimately help you better understand the mission and ministry of Life Change. To view Covenant Membership Documents click HERE.

Worship at the Ranch, Saturday, September 15 from 4:00 to 8:00 - Join us on Saturday, September 15th as Life Change Church Tullahoma gathers for worship at the Arrowhead Ranch in Normandy Tennessee. The ranch is located at 239 Cortner Mill Road in 
Normandy. Everything begins 4:00 with worship alongside the Duck River. The worship service will include a baptism celebration for several folks who will be baptized in the river. Following the worship service we will enjoy an old fashioned potluck dinner. The evening will conclude with a time of prayer around the campfire. We need everyone to bring a side dish to go along with the pulled pork. We need all kinds of side dishes including desserts. The church will supply the meat, drinks, and tableware. Along with the side dishes, be sure to bring a chair for you and each person in your family. PLEASE NOTE: This will be our Worship Service for the weekend. We will not hold Sunday morning services on September 16th. We are planning to be in our new worship space on Sunday, September 23.

Baptism at the Ranch, Saturday, September 15th - If you have been planning on, or
waiting to be baptized, the time has come! On Saturday, September 15, as part of our worship service at the Arrowhead Ranch, Pastor Christian will be baptizing folks in the Duck River. What an awesome place and opportunity to celebrate the public profession of those who have made a decision to make Christ their Lord and Savior! If you desire to be baptized, you must fill out and submit a BAPTISM INTEREST FORM to Pastor Christian no later than Sunday morning September 9th. Forms will be made available at the church or you can view and/or print a Baptism Interest Form click HERE. 

LCCT Community Serve Project at East Middle School, September 22 from 8:00-2:00! Mark your calendars now for fall Community Serve Project! The September 22, 2018 Community Serve will focus on an exterior beautification project at East Middle School! Pastor Christian will be working out the details of our upcoming Community Serve so stay tuned for more information to come!

These are just a few of the many things you will want to be a part of in the coming weeks. For more information on upcoming events and activities, including our Men & Boys Breakfast, Women's Bible Study, Wednesday Night Activities, and more, visit our calendar page on our website by clicking HERE or on our FB Events Page by clicking HERE 

Greater things have yet to come, and still need to be done! We officially take over our new Worship Center space on September 1st! Again, I ask you to be praying about how you can help us as we take this next step of faith in the life of our church.

Have a blessed day and...

BE THE CHURCH!!

A HUGE STEP OF FAITH FOR LIFE CHANGE TULLAHOMA!

Hello Friends and Family of Life Change Tullahoma!

A HUGE step of Faith! This is what we are about to take together as The Church called Life Change Tullahoma.

Last night our Steering Team met, prayed, and came to the unanimous conclusion that God is leading us to add some 6000 square feet of worship space to our current space located at 414 Wilson Avenue. This newly acquired space will be leased at the same cost of our current space which is $1525.00 per month. This would bring our total monthly lease payment to $3050.00 per month and allow us space to expand for years to come! Again, the newly acquired space is in the same building we are currently meeting in at 414 Wilson Avenue. Some might have previously known this newly acquired space as the "Ballroom" or the "Banquet Hall".  Again, just to clarify, this new space will be an addition to our current leased space.

If you have been with us at any point over the past several weeks you know that our current worship space is filled to capacity including our overflow room. The room was originally meant to hold approx. 50 people and we are putting double that in our current worship space each Sunday morning with no room to grow. The air-conditioning and heater are not sufficient to keep a group of 90 to 100 people comfortable in our current space. In addition, we are quickly running out of kids space with an average of 9 children plus teachers being packed into a relatively small room with nowhere to grow.

We will begin occupying our new space on September 1st with our first worship service will take place in it either on Sunday, September 9th or Sunday, September 23rd. We will be having "Worship at the Ranch" on Saturday September 15th from 4-8 and will not have Sunday services on September 16th.

Here is what I need from YOU... 

1. Be praying regarding what God might have you to give financially above and beyond your normal giving to help us as we transition to this new space. We will be transferring much of out technical equipment from our current worship space over to new worship space. However, we will have to run new wiring for the projector, add a projector, purchase new video screens, purchase a stage, and more. The aforementioned does not include the fact that we will begin paying twice what we were paying in monthly rent as of September 1st. I am personally praying that God will open up the floodgates when it comes to financial giving over the next week! And I can promise you that Kelleye and I will take the lead on giving above and beyond our normal giving! We will never ask anything of you that we ourselves are not willing to do! You can give right now via our online giving by clicking HERE

2. Be prepared to help! Beginning September 1st, we will begin making the transition to our new worship space. Help will be needed as we work to transform our new space into our worship venue, and transform our current worship space and overflow room into kids and youth ministry space.

3. Pray, Pray, Pray! Pray for God's guidance and direction throughout this process. Pray that we as a church never get ahead of Him or in the way of His purposes and His plans! Pray that all we do brings Him glory and builds up the Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Amen!

If you have questions please call me, email me, or text me. I would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have!

Thank you for your time and attention. Have a blessed day!

Be the Church!!
