That church became a reality on October 21<sup>st</sup> of 2017 when <b>Life Change Church Tullahoma</b> held it’s first worship service at the Holiday Inn Express in Tullahoma.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Today, more than 800 people within a 40-mile radius of our current location call Life Change Tullahoma home. Furthermore, hundreds of people tune in to our live stream broadcast each week from multiple states and ten countries. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Life Change Church is changing lives!</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> To date we have seen over 200 people accept Christ and be baptized! Our food and personal care ministry is helping to meet the needs of our community on a daily basis. Our benevolence ministry has helped meet the needs of people and families with everything from gas cards, paying utility bills, medical expenses, dental work, and numerous other needs of those inside and outside the walls of LCCT. And our church is committed to giving to both local and foreign missions as each month we give a portion of what God has given to us to help meet the needs of people in need.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">When God called me to plant His church, He gave me the following scripture...<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><b><u><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Isaiah 43:19<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">See, I am doing a new thing!

And the cool thing is that I believe we have only seen a tiny snapshot of God’s greater plan for LCCT!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">On Wednesday evening, May 18<sup>th</sup>, Pastor Noah, myself, and our Board of Directors brought together 80 people (<i>about a tenth of our attendees</i>) to share the vision God has placed before us as we move into the next five years. Part of that vision requires an immediate need for funding. We shared this “immediate need” last night, and now we are sharing it with you.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">In short, after two years of researching whether our current property would be a realistic option as the future home of Life Change, and after nearly two years of searching for land, LCCT has been presented with the opportunity to purchase land on which we will build our future church home. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEHM3sL0j7JyyhYQfIwfiVCG45nmkvUMgKMLkUFJrsxgLid4VADByAY8LAgAAxp35sRTmCFKeCmpLr37AV_pTYuy_UKCxFHLGs6xPgOH05GAJarSTzQT3DDKttNEC3k1NmGaYmK1ngp7MSU99A1h8N4koQxHeLMKiFmF8z5DZE7kYgyE5ufJpjtftK/s5760/932319B2-9FBC-4288-9408-8BBE4BA272E3.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3240" data-original-width="5760" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEHM3sL0j7JyyhYQfIwfiVCG45nmkvUMgKMLkUFJrsxgLid4VADByAY8LAgAAxp35sRTmCFKeCmpLr37AV_pTYuy_UKCxFHLGs6xPgOH05GAJarSTzQT3DDKttNEC3k1NmGaYmK1ngp7MSU99A1h8N4koQxHeLMKiFmF8z5DZE7kYgyE5ufJpjtftK/w340-h191/932319B2-9FBC-4288-9408-8BBE4BA272E3.jpeg" width="340" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The land we are purchasing is 3 miles south of our current location along 41A just inside the Tullahoma city limits. It is land we once believed would be impossible to acquire. However, God is in the business of making what seems impossible possible! I am overjoyed to share with you that today, May 19<sup>th</sup> of 2022, Life Change Tullahoma has secured 12 acres of land that will be our future home for $300,000.00.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">I know that there are some that may have felt “left out” of the gathering that was held last night, and for that I apologize. It was never our intention to make anyone felt “left out”. Ultimately the purpose of last night’s meeting was to present the Vision for the Future to a small portion of our congregation before we presented it to the entire congregation. Please know that it is going to take <b>ALL OF US</b> to see the work God has placed before us come to fruition. We praise God that half of what was needed to make the purchase has been raised within the past 24 hours! At the same time, we are praying that all $300,000.00 will come in so that we can replenish what was taken from our general fund to make this happen. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Know that I plan to share much more with you on Sunday, May 22<sup>nd</sup> at 9 and 11 regarding the land purchase and Vision for the Future. I ask that you be in prayer in the coming days, weeks, and months, as to how God might use you as a part of this effort. Purchasing the land was step one, but there are many other things that will need funded in the coming months and years to see Life Change Tullahoma’s new home come to fruition. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">I know that these are tough times financially for many of us, and I want to say how thankful we are for your continued faithfulness in giving to God’s church called Life Change. Two things: One, any gifts you give to Vision for the Future should be given above and beyond your regular giving. Secondly, please pray for our pastors, staff, board of directors, and our church as a whole as we move forward. My prayer is that God will be glorified, and that His church called Life Change Church will do exactly what our name implies for decades and decades to come!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Finally, there are two links below.

Since Life Change launched in October of 2017 we have witnessed over 200 baptisms, fed hundreds of hungry families, provided counseling, paid doctor and/or dentist bills, provided food and/or shelter, paid utility bills, and provided numerous other helps and services to those within our community, state, and our world! However, perhaps the greatest thing that happens week in and week out at Life Change is "Life Change". I know that many of you reading this can testify to what God has done in your life or your family's life through the ministry of LCCT. <br /><br />We believe God is going to do incredible things as we move into 2022! The best is truly yet to come! Thank you for supporting the ministry of Life Change! Because of your generosity, we have been able to witness all of the great things mentioned above and more! And we know God will be faithful in the days ahead as collectively we are faithful in giving joyfully and abundantly as His Church! <br /><br />To God be the Glory!<br /><br />LCCT Staff and Vision Team<br /><br /><a href="https://lifechangetullahoma.churchcenter.com/giving/to/favor-2022">CLICK HERE TO GIVE NOW!</a></span></strong></div><h4 style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"></span></strong></h4><br /><p></p>Christian Wattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04714285126869709945noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819671460392301398.post-59517114100877632402021-11-29T13:59:00.002-08:002021-11-29T14:01:46.891-08:00Giving Tuesday 2022<p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy7I5inbq8aK7STGoZaTUiOoyZBMBcWqdh5AcgEVDo4JawwCKgorQT40yjWoPFlodnRrF11F41CZPvo1YLUncSdAqA_GPZ-PUWp_RQk4VWlup7v8MSoHa4q2Wos4CTeSZ2WILa4LXR6Kg/s2048/FAVOR+2022.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy7I5inbq8aK7STGoZaTUiOoyZBMBcWqdh5AcgEVDo4JawwCKgorQT40yjWoPFlodnRrF11F41CZPvo1YLUncSdAqA_GPZ-PUWp_RQk4VWlup7v8MSoHa4q2Wos4CTeSZ2WILa4LXR6Kg/w487-h274/FAVOR+2022.jpg" width="487" /></a></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(82, 82, 82); color: #525252; font-size: 15px;">Each year Life Change Church Tullahoma provides you the opportunity to give toward the future growth and needs of the ministry of LCCT in a year-end offering titled, "</span><strong style="caret-color: rgb(82, 82, 82); color: #525252; font-size: 15px;">Favor Offering</strong><span face=""Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(82, 82, 82); color: #525252; font-size: 15px;">".

A world that is searching for answers to life's problems in all the wrong places. Can it get any worse? Yes it can! Will it get any worse? Yes it will. I believe we are seeing the beginning of the last days.<br /><br />Jesus gives clarity to the last days in <strong>Matthew Chapter 24</strong>. Here is a snippet of what he says from verses 10-12...<br /><br /><em><strong><span class="text Matt-24-10" id="en-NIV-23968"><span class="woj">"Many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,</span></span> </strong><span class="text Matt-24-11" id="en-NIV-23969"><span class="woj"><strong><sup class="versenum">11 </sup>and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. <span class="text Matt-24-12" id="en-NIV-23970"><sup class="versenum">12 </sup>Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold."</span></strong><span class="text Matt-24-13" id="en-NIV-23971"><br /><br /></span></span></span></em><span class="text Matt-24-11" id="en-NIV-23969">I think you would agree that we are seeing this happen even now. Thankfully we have hope and His name is Jesus! <br /><br />As I have shared with you in recent weeks, you will not find a moral compass for you or your family outside of God's Word and His Church. This is why it is so important that we continue to gather together during these days to worship, hear God's Word preached, fellowship, and encourage one another. And I know we are all busy. However, we should never be too busy to take the time to gather as The Church! <strong>Together we are stronger!</strong><br /><br /></span><strong>In Matthew 24:13 Jesus says, "</strong><em><strong>but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved." </strong> </em><span class="text Matt-24-11" id="en-NIV-23969">I want to encourage you to stand firm, make Christ your top priority, make gathering with the Body of Christ a priority, make reading God's word a priority! We need God and we need each other like never before! Don't you agree?<br /><br /><strong>This Sunday, May 2nd, we will conclude our series "Winning the war in Your Mind" with a message titled, "What Drives You, Defines You".</strong> I want to encourage you to join us as we gather, worship, and study God's Word together. There is truly something incredible that happens when God's people come together in unity!<br /><br />Today, as I combed through nearly 600 names of folks that attend LCCT, I couldn't help but think, "Imagine what we could do if we all worked together to change our community, our neighborhoods, our nation, and our world!" I believe we can do anything when Christ goes before us! Nothing is impossible with God!<br /><br />I look forward to seeing you on Sunday at Life Change Tullahoma @ 9:00 or 11:00. Until then...<br /><br />Be The Church!<br /><br />Pastor Christian Watts<br /><a>pcw@lifechangetullahoma.org</a> </span>Christian Wattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04714285126869709945noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819671460392301398.post-75390163514220086462021-03-27T14:41:00.002-07:002021-03-27T14:41:59.872-07:00LCCT Update 3.27.2021<p> <span style="font-family: arial;">Hello LCCT Friends and Family!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><strong>We will be observing Communion or "The Lord's Supper" this Sunday, March 28th at 10:00.</strong> As part of our time together, Pastor Christian will share a message that brings clarity to why we observe communion and what it means to the Christian.

FAITHFUL!</b><br /><br />God has been faithful to not only maintain His Church called Life Change Tullahoma in 2020, God has been faithful to continue the good work He began when LCCT launched on October 21, 2017! I mean really, think about it... The fact that a church that began 2020 just over two years old has not only survived, but thrived, is a testimony to God's faithfulness! To God be the glory! I cannot wait to see what God will do in and through His Church called Life Change Tullahoma in 2021!<br /><br /><b>This Sunday we kick off a new series that will take us through the book of ROMANS.</b> Get ready to be challenged, encouraged, uplifted, and even convicted as we work through this sermon series together! I can't wait!!<br /><br /><b>WE ARE ONLY $4737.21 AWAY FROM MEETING OUR FAVOR GOAL OF 20,000.00!! THAT'S INCREDIBLE!! </b>Don't forget there are numerous tax breaks and incentives for those that give to non-profits in 2020. Also, if you wish to make a contribution to LCCT that will go towards helping you reduce your 2020 income tax bill you need to do so no later than 24 hours before January 1, 2021. <b>Together, we can not only reach our goal, we can exceed our goal! <a href="https://www.lifechangetullahoma.org/favor-2021-offering"><span style="color: blue;">For more information about our FAVOR offering or to give now CLICK HERE</span></a>. <a href="https://lifechangetullahoma.churchcenter.com/giving" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">To give your regular tithe or offering CLICK HERE.</span></a><br /><br /></b>Last but not least, I want to encourage you to make 2021 the year of engagement. Engage with God in your personal life. Engage with God by attending worship faithfully at Life Change Tullahoma. Engage with others that attend LCCT so to develop life-long friendships and accountability. Engage with those that do not attend church and invite them to come with you. If we all do our part, we will change the world! Let's do this!!<br /><br />Praying you have a safe and happy New Year!

I realize that for some, Christmas is a time of joy, while for others it can be a very difficult time. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Did you know that having JOY in one's life is a choice? This Sunday, December 13th I will be sharing an important message titled, "Choosing Joy By Making God Honoring Choices".</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">We live in a world that has become evermore void of joy, we need to choose joy more than ever. Joy isn't something you buy, joy is a choice. I hope you will join me Sunday as we look at the key to obtaining real, lasting, joy.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Secondly, I want to remind you that we are in the midst of our season of giving to LCCT through our Favor offering. To-date we have raised $3500.00 towards our goal of raising $20,000.00 by the end of 2020. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I want to thank those of you that give regularly and faithfully to the ministry of LCCT. We could not do what we do apart from your faithful giving.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I still very much believe we can reach our goal if everyone will do their part! Therefore I am not asking you to simply give out of the abundance of what you have, I am asking you to give out of the abundance of your faith!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Some of you have the ability to give toward this offering that would help us not only meet our goal, but exceed our goal. I am a firm believer that God blesses those that give financially to God's church and His Kingdom's work! Today is the day! I pray you will honor the Lord with your giving. I have included what we at LCCT believe when it comes to giving financially unto God.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://lifechangetullahoma.churchcenter.com/giving/to/favor-2021" target="_blank"><b>CLICK HERE TO GIVE NOW!</b></a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Finally, if there is a particular way I can be praying for you, please feel free to text me your prayer request at (931) 345-2775. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Looking forward to our time together on Sunday!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Be blessed, and be a blessing,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Pastor Christian Watts </span></p>Christian Wattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04714285126869709945noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819671460392301398.post-4129530924601018702020-11-21T17:33:00.001-08:002020-11-21T17:33:26.275-08:00LCCT Important Update 11.21.2020<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> Hello!</span></p><p><span style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We can’t wait to worship with you tomorrow!

It is with great sadness and disappointment that I share with you that I have contracted Covid-19. <br /><br />Covid-19 has been on the rise in Tullahoma and our surrounding communities for the past couple of weeks. Unfortunately, a small, but growing number of our attendees have contracted the virus. Although many of them contracted it away from LCCT, in light of my recent diagnosis we feel it is in everyone's best interest to not hold in-person gatherings again until Sunday, October 4th. Please note that we will be broadcasting our worship services via Facebook and YouTube on Sunday mornings at 10:00.<br /><br />My symptoms have not been life-threatening, but they have been fairly severe. I would appreciate your prayers as I quarantine and work towards recovery.<br /><br />There are three things I would like to ask you to prayerfully consider doing in the days ahead...<br /></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><ol start="1" style="margin-bottom: 0in;" type="1"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Pray for our country, our communities, the families of those that attend LCCT, and for our LCCT Staff.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Please tune in at 10:00 to Facebook or YouTube to join us LIVE on Sunday, September 20th and Sunday, September 27th.</span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Please continue to give financially to support the ministry of Life Change Tullahoma.

How about some great news?!!<p><span style="font-family: arial;"> Hello {FIRST_NAME}! </span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">I am pumped!! I mean PUMPED!! <strong>To date we have 27 people that will be baptized at Worship at Ovoca Lake on Sunday, September 13th! </strong>Now, if that's not something to get excited about I don't know what is!<br /><br /><strong>Worship at the Lake is going to be awesome!</strong> I mean even the weather is supposed to be awesome with temperatures in the mid 70's! Please be sure to register now if you plan to attend, and don't forget to bring a side dish to go with the BBQ!

Glad you asked!</strong><br /><br />As LCCT continues to grow, we want to build <strong>community</strong> beyond what Sunday mornings can provide. That’s where Community Groups come in. Community Groups are a place for you to meet new friends, strengthen existing relationships, and grow in your relationship with Christ. We want to be a Church who worships together and who knows how to break bread together. <br /><br /><strong>Registration for Community Groups is open NOW!</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>And let me give you a little hint... You may want to be registered for a Community Group before you come to Worship at Ovoca Lake. That's all I'll say about that for now. :) For more information and to register for one of our eleven groups<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><strong><a href="https://lifechangetullahoma.churchcenter.com/groups/community-groups" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Community Groups">CLICK HERE</a></strong>.<br /><br />Last but not least, it goes without saying that 2020 has been a year that many of us would like to forget. I mean, let's go ahead and put up the Christmas tree and get this year over with right? As difficult of a year that it has been, God always has a purpose and a plan. <strong>I want to encourage you to do something with these last four months of 2020.... JUMP IN WITH BOTH FEET! </strong>That's right! Let's all recommit ourselves to God, and gathering as His Church, and let's go out of 2020 puttin our praise on! I mean it! I truly believe it is time for the church to rise from the ashes and crush the head of the enemy! I also believe that if we will do that, all of "the things" we are worried about, stressed about, tired of, and fed up with will no longer be our focus. Our focus needs to be on Christ! We can't control what tomorrow brings but He can! <br /><br /><strong>It's time to get back to church! It's time to get back to gathering! It's time to get back to JESUS!</strong><br /><br />EXCITED FOR THE DAYS AHEAD!!<br /><br />Pastor Christian Watts</span></p>Christian Wattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04714285126869709945noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819671460392301398.post-14966539537044604992020-08-26T11:41:00.000-07:002020-08-26T11:41:46.390-07:00LCCT Important Update 8.26.2020 - ALL WEDNESDAY EVENING ACTIVITIES CANCELLED<p> <span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(50, 63, 75); color: #323f4b; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hello Life Change Tullahoma Friends and Family,</span></p><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(50, 63, 75); color: #323f4b; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">2020 started out as an excellent year for Life Change Church Tullahoma. On Sunday, January 5th, LCCT had over 200 people in attendance for the very first time. And by the beginning of March, LCCT was averaging almost 300 people in attendance and it looked as if adding a second worship service would be an absolute necessity.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(50, 63, 75); color: #323f4b; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(50, 63, 75); color: #323f4b; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(50, 63, 75); color: #323f4b; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then Covid-19 hit.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(50, 63, 75); color: #323f4b; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(50, 63, 75); color: #323f4b; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(50, 63, 75); color: #323f4b; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Being a church that will not turn three years old until October 25th of this year, Covid-19 could have been a fatal blow to a new church. But praise be to God, God held His church called Life Change Tullahoma up in the midst of the storm. And God continues to do so as His Church (you and I) continue to put our faith and trust in Him.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(50, 63, 75); color: #323f4b; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(50, 63, 75); color: #323f4b; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(50, 63, 75); color: #323f4b; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The nine weeks that LCCT did not meet corporately were agonizing for me, the staff, and for many of you. However we made the decision that it was best not to meet knowing that it was in the best interest of those who attend LCCT. We also knew that the same God that had been faithful in the past, would be faithful as we moved forward.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(50, 63, 75); color: #323f4b; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(50, 63, 75); color: #323f4b; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(50, 63, 75); color: #323f4b; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This morning we learned that one of our attendees tested positive for Covid-19.

Please call me, email me, text me, or come by the church office and let me know how I can help you or serve you. You have 110% permission to do so! I want to be here for you as a pastor as much as I possibly can be. So again, I give you full permission to bug me, remind me, or let me know how I can help or serve you.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Throughout Life Change Tullahoma’s short history, we have taken huge steps of faith. And each step of faith has been bathed in prayer and God ordained. And although this year has been a difficult one, we continue to step out in faith as God directs us. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Therefore, we knew that if we were going to be effective, we would have to make some major upgrades to our video equipment. Again, we stepped out in faith and made some major purchases in order to improve the quality of our broadcast. And although it is still a work in progress, the difference between our broadcast pre-Covid-19 and now are night and day. God supplied our every need!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Someone that would be in the office daily, and someone that had the ability to meet several areas of need as LCCT moves forward. I am excited to share with you that we have hired Katelyn Lawson as our administrative assistant! Katelyn will be overseeing our church database (Planning Center), and she will also be overseeing and making sure we are keeping accurate records of both our incoming and outgoing finances via Planning Center and QuickBooks. Katelyn will also be answering phones, creating and implementing our multi-media, assisting us as we move towards fellowship groups this fall, helping us with our social media and text-in-church ministries (including response times), and assisting our pastoral staff as needed. Katelyn will officially join the LCCT Staff on Thursday, August 20<sup>th</sup>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Over the past year and a half, Elizabeth Duke has done an excellent job creating and implementing our multi-media.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Finally, I know that many folks have not been able to gather at LCCT for corporate worship due to Covid-19 concerns. I also realize that the pandemic has led to many people simply falling out of the habit of attending Life Change Tullahoma. Let me encourage you to get back in the habit! Watching on YouTube or Facebook is just not the same as gathering corporately to worship. Know that we have missed those of you that have not been with us, and we hope to see you soon!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

LCCT Friends and Family,</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It is my prayer each and every Sunday, that God uses the message He has led me to share to touch the hearts and lives of those who hear it. This Sunday, June 28th @ 10:00 is no exception. However...</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I feel God has led me to tell you that this Sunday's message will not only touch the hearts and lives of those who hear it, it is a powerful, God-led, Holy Spirit driven message that will CHANGE THE LIVES OF MANY THAT HEAR IT!</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
So I am asking you to please "tune in". Whether you are physically present with us at 414 Wilson Avenue or join us via our FB Live or YouTube broadcast, DON'T MISS TOMORROWS MESSAGE! </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
And do me one more BIG favor... Invite others to tune in. Whether it be in person or via our broadcast, don't miss this opportunity to see others lives changed.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Know that I am praying for you, and would greatly appreciate your prayers as I share this important message tomorrow morning at LCCT.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Looking forward to our time together!</div>

<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.625rem; line-height: 1.3847; margin: 2.5rem 0px 1.75rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">High Level Information</span></h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 2.125rem; margin-bottom: 1.75rem; margin-top: 1.75rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">New Deduction Available</span>: Up to $300 per taxpayer ($600 for a married couple) in annual charitable contributions. This is available only to people who take the standard deduction (for taxpayers who do not itemize their deductions). It is an “above the line” adjustment to income that will reduce a donor’s adjusted gross income (AGI), and thereby reduce taxable income. A donation to a donor advised fund (DAF) does not qualify for this new deduction. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 2.125rem; margin-bottom: 1.75rem; margin-top: 1.75rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">New Charitable Deduction Limits:</span> As part of the bill, individuals and corporations that itemize can deduct much greater amounts of their contributions. Individuals can elect to deduct donations up to 100% of their 2020 AGI (up from 60% previously). Corporations may deduct up to 25% of taxable income, up from the previous limit of 10%.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 2.125rem; margin-bottom: 1.75rem; margin-top: 1.75rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Required Min. Distributions Waived in 2020 for Most Donors</span>: Required minimum distributions (RMD) that would have had to start in 2020 do not have to start until 2021, including distributions from defined benefit pension plans and 457 plans. This change will dampen somewhat the incentive for a donor to make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from their IRA in 2020. Even so, making a QCD this year will still allow itemizers and non-itemizers alike to direct up to $100,000 from their IRA to charities in a tax efficient manner.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.625rem; line-height: 1.3847; margin: 2.5rem 0px 1.75rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Details About CARES Act</span></h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 2.125rem; margin-bottom: 1.75rem; margin-top: 1.75rem;">
The inclusion of an expanded charitable giving incentive is a critical acknowledgement by Congress that the work of nonprofits like <a href="https://www.lifechangetullahoma.org/" target="_blank">Life Change Church Tullahoma</a> are deemed essential services. It is the first time Congress has passed this type of giving incentive in response to disaster or national emergency. </div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.625rem; line-height: 1.3847; margin: 2.5rem 0px 1.75rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Here’s How it Works</span></h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 2.125rem; margin-bottom: 1.75rem; margin-top: 1.75rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">New Deduction Available: </span>The bill makes a new deduction available for up to $300 per taxpayer ($600 for a married couple) in annual charitable contributions. This is particularly beneficial to people who take the standard deduction when filing their taxes (in other words for taxpayers who do not itemize their deductions). It is calculated by subtracting the amount of the donation from your gross income. It is an “above the line” adjustment to income that will reduce your AGI, and thereby reduce taxable income.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 2.125rem; margin-bottom: 1.75rem; margin-top: 1.75rem;">
To qualify, you would have to give a donation to a qualified charity. If you have already made your donation since Jan. 1, that contribution counts toward the $300 cap.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 2.125rem; margin-bottom: 1.75rem; margin-top: 1.75rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">New Charitable Deduction Limits:</span> Also part of the bill, individuals and corporations that itemize can deduct much greater amounts of their contributions.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 2.125rem; margin-bottom: 1.75rem; margin-top: 1.75rem;">
Individuals can elect to deduct cash contributions, up to 100% of their 2020 adjusted gross income, on itemized 2020 tax returns. This is up from the previous limit of 60%. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 2.125rem; margin-bottom: 1.75rem; margin-top: 1.75rem;">
Corporations may deduct up to 25% of taxable income, up from the previous limit of 10%.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 2.125rem; margin-bottom: 1.75rem; margin-top: 1.75rem;">
The new deduction is only for cash gifts that go to a 501c3 organization. If you give cash to, say, your private foundation, the old deduction rules apply. And while the organizations that manage DAF’s are public charities, you do not get the higher deduction for donating cash to your DAF. These new limits do not apply to gifts of appreciated stock.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 2.125rem; margin-bottom: 1.75rem; margin-top: 1.75rem;">
If your assets are substantial enough that you can give more than your income this year, you won’t lose the deduction for the excess amount. You can use it next year, as has always been the case.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 2.125rem; margin-bottom: 1.75rem; margin-top: 1.75rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Required minimum distributions waived in 2020 for most donors: </span>RMD for individuals over age 70 ½ are suspended until 2021. This includes distributions from defined benefit pension plans and 457 plans. The RMD is an attractive way for donors to make a significant charitable gift directly from their IRA to a charity through a qualified charitable contribution (QCD) while avoiding taxable income. The suspension of the RMD may dampen somewhat the incentive for a donor who makes a gift from their IRA to count toward that minimum. However, the tax benefit of the QCD remains. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 2.125rem; margin-bottom: 1.75rem; margin-top: 1.75rem;">
The takeaway - donors directing a QCD to charity this year (up to $100,000 per individual) will still reduce their taxable IRA balance. This allows all taxpayers, itemizers and non-itemizers alike, to direct gifts from their IRA to charities in a tax efficient manner.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 2.125rem; margin-bottom: 1.75rem; margin-top: 1.75rem;">

<strong style="caret-color: rgb(82, 82, 82); color: #525252; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Tomorrow mornings worship service at Life Change Tullahoma will be a very special one.</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #525252; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"> I pray you will tune in via our YouTube or Facebook page at 10:00 as I share a message on Forgiveness and we partake of Communion together. If you were unable to pick up communion elements this week, no worries! Just use any crackers, bread, juice, water, etc. that you have at home. Remember, that partaking of Communion (The Lord's Supper) is more about the heart of a person than it is the elements. The elements are symbolic of the body and the blood of Christ. The most important thing is that we take the time to remember Christ sacrifice, and that we utilize this time to examine our hearts and minds. </span><br />
<strong style="caret-color: rgb(82, 82, 82); color: #525252; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br />Communion should always be about: </strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #525252; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"> 1. Remembering Christ sacrifice. 2. Examining our hearts and minds and confessing any sin in our lives to God. 3. Accepting Christ grace and forgiveness. 4. As we are reflect on what Christ has done for us, we should be encouraged to live our lives in a way that honors and glorifies Him.</span><br />
<br style="caret-color: rgb(82, 82, 82); color: #525252; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #525252; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">I look forward to sharing in worship with you tomorrow morning. </span><strong style="caret-color: rgb(82, 82, 82); color: #525252; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Remember that YOU are the church! And no matter whether we are physically gathered or if we gather spiritually through video, God is glorified when His Church makes time to worship and focus on Him!<br /><br /><em>Incase you missed it, or are not on Facebook, I've included what I wrote last Sunday regarding tomorrow's worship service.

NEW WORSHIP CENTER CHAIRS FOR LIFE CHANGE TULLAHOMA!<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">LCCT Friends and Family,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">God has blessed LCCT in so many ways! One of the greatest blessings God has provided for us is the building we gather in at 414 Wilson Avenue. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When we moved into the building, Dan and Fran Marcum graciously allowed us to begin utilizing the folding chairs <u>they own</u>. We currently use every chair available to provide seating in our Kids Area, our Gathering Area, and our Worship Center.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not only are we beginning to run out of chairs, the chairs are beginning to wear out and break down. In recent months, we have had to discard almost 20 chairs that have broken beyond repair. And although some folks might be perfectly comfortable in our current chairs, others, especially those with health or back problems, find our chairs very uncomfortable. So much so that some have begun bringing their own chairs or padding.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Folks, it's time! It's time for LCCT to take another step forward, and purchase chairs for our Worship Center. We have researched and found an excellent chair that is made in the USA by a reputable company. These chairs will improve the comfort for our attendees and guest, improve our church </span><span style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">aesthetically, and allow for pens, connection cards, and envelopes to be held on the backs of the chairs.</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></b><br />

Otherwise, these chairs would cost us much more. The winter special ends in a few days...</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Please pray, and ask God what He might have you do to contribute towards this effort.</b> First and foremost, if you do contribute towards this fund, please only contribute what you can give above and beyond your regular giving. Perhaps you may be able to purchase one chair, two chairs, twenty chairs, or more. Or maybe you are only able to contribute a smaller amount. That's fine too! The bottom line is that together, we can make this happen!! It's exciting!</span><br />
