LifeKIDS with Lisa

“All Because of You” this past two weeks was great! If you missed it, check our web site @ lifechurchfranklin.com to view it! I am inspired each week by the number of volunteers and the commitment they have to others becoming fully devoted followers of Christ! No matter what team you are a part of, it is because of you!!! Life Church Franklin has volunteers who teach, assist, set up, tear down, greet, clean, sing, pray, and give of themselves each week! If you are not plugged in anywhere, you need to be! There is nothing like the joy that comes from inside as you serve and contribute to the local church! As Patrick said we are not to be consumer Christians, but contributing! And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Hebrews 10:24 I don’t know about you but it does spur me on to see others serving!! Sunday mornings God brings it all together and I am grateful to those that listen and act on the prompting of the Holy Spirit! See you Sunday, Lisa Hanna LifeKIDS Coordinator

Around Life

We had an amazing 2 weeks of our series "Because of You" at Life Church. It was so much fun to celebrate and praise God for all he is doing through so many of the people at Life Church Franklin. If you didn't get a chance be sure and watch the series at our homepage and click on >Current Series. - I have to say once again how amazing our volunteers are. They just continue to blow me away with their hospitality and passion for people who come through our doors every weekend. Thank you! - We are super excited about our Forward giving initiative. I encourage you to jump on board and be a part of it. If your tithing we are asking you to prayfully consider giving an offering each week of a predetermined amount each week that will go towards FORWARD. FORWARD is our initiative to grow our student ministry, fully fund a Compassion International child survival project and support our building renovation project to have a permanent space (more below on that). - BUILDING UPDATE: We are continuing to pray for a smooth and quick renovation project starting January 1st. We will begin renting 15,000 square feet at the Whistle Stop Mall in Franklin. This space will allow us a permanent place for an auditorium and LifeKIDS classrooms. We will have more info and details on how you can volunteer to help in the coming weeks! Have a great week! Patrick

There's lots happening at Life Church Franklin these days. God is continuing to do amazing things in and through our church. It's definitely an exciting time. - Last week our church packed 252 shoeboxes for Samaritan Purse's Operation Christmas Child outreach. We held our annual shoebox party and celebrating all God would do through this outreach to the world. - Yesterday we started our new series "Because of You". It was an honor to share God's word and celebrate all God is doing in many lives here and around the world because of the faithfulness of our church. - In 2 weeks we will start a really fun and encouraging series called "Carols". You can download free music for this series here and watch the series promo below. Great stuff! - We all have so much to be thankful for! Happy Thanksgiving! Patrick

LifeKIDS with Lisa

A few weeks ago we asked our LifeKIDS Volunteers why they serve in LifeKIDS and here are a few of their responses: There are many reasons why I choose to volunteer to serve LifeKIDS! 1.) To commit my faith and love to my Lord Savior! 2.) To show my appreciation as a parent for what LifeKIDS has done for my own children! 3.) To show how much LifeChURCH means to me and my family and how the church has changed my life forever. 4.) Volunteering is the least I can do to give back to the church and what these kids deserve. 5.) I love interacting and getting to know the families better and to see the faces on the little one’s as they are excited to learn about GOD. 6.) To help shift the workload responsibilities off others so they can enjoy the amazing worship service. I personally serve with Life Kids to give these children something I never had as a child and that is a personal relationship with God thru His son Jesus Christ. Even though these children are small they are willing to learn about God and all that has happened in the past and into the future and that is something so special to watch. The interactIon I have with these children brings me great joy and watching them interact with other children whose families have the same Godly interests as their family makes it even more special for them and for us the teachers. Serving in Life Kids has made a big impact in my life. I have learned, thru the children, that you are never too young or too old to learn about God and all he has to offer us thru His son Jesus. I hope to continue working with Life Kids for many years to come. I love serving in Life Kids. It is a time that I can love on the children and bring Jesus to their level! God uses children and to have a chance to get them passionate for Christ is life changing! There are many others and I hope to share them with you in the future! LifeKIDS is a blessed ministry with awesome volunteers who love the Lord! They truly have a joy from Him that can only be found by serving! I am honored to work with a group of amazing people! Have a great day, Lisa Hanna LifeKIDS Coordinator Life Church Franklin
