LifeKIDS with Lisa

LifeKIDS did a great job this past week honoring our Mothers for Mother’s Day! Moms were honored with pictures, flowers, a very cute video and prizes! I loved seeing the kids flow through the isles with those flowers!! Check out the video below!!



Motion, All-Stars and The Loop were all a part of the adult worship experience and the energy level is just amazing having those kids in there to worship!

We have new letters from our Compassion kids and the classes have been writing back to them during LifeKIDS. They are so grateful to have sponsors and love to hear from us! Please remember to send in your offering to help support them too!

I really appreciate our amazing volunteers and all that they put into bringing Jesus to the kids on Sundays! Our curriculum does help guide the teachers but it takes kind words, a smile and love to really show the kids His love! THANK YOU!

Switch Youth Group

Our Switch youth group recently had a game night and challenge with First Assembly of Franklin. It was great fun for everyone. Here are the results of the night:



If you are a student at Life Church come check out Switch on Sunday nights at 6pm.

I a few days late this week, but its mostly because there is so much going on.

- Sunday began our new series "Getting Past Your Past". This Sunday we dealt with getting past the labels that bind you. Craig Groeschel said: "REFUSE TO LET THE LABELS OF YOUR PAST LIMIT GOD’S PLAN FOR YOUR FUTURE!" This is a powerful truth.

- We are planning on a At The Movies series this summer that simply put, will be unforgettable. We have some great plans to share the Gospel with many people here in Franklin and WNC and can't wait to share with you how you can be a part of it!

- Have you joined our Facebook page? There is daily information and interaction with other Lifers happening at our Facebook page.

- We have several people sick throughout our church, but would you please remember to pray for Barb and Demetri? They are great friends and Lifers would are dealing with cancer issues. We are believing God for their healing and I have been greatly encouraged by their faith through it all.

Have a great week!

Week 5 of our series WEiRD is in the books and what a great end to this series it was.

- Dave Ramsey brought an amazing message of encouragement and challenge to us. It was not your typical message you'd hear at church, but it was perfect. Learning how to handle and steward our finances in the way God designed, is what we all need to work harder at.
There seems to be no one problem bigger for people today across the board than their finances. The great news is that God's Word, the Bible, tells us how to manage the finances he blesses us with.

- I'm praying for all the people who are going to be weird with their money starting this week. I pray it changes their lives and generations to come. I'm praying for people to steward their money so the local church can do even more in our work to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world.

- This week we start a new series called: Getting Past Your Past. You will not want to miss this. If you know anyone in your family, friends or work that is hurting, BRING THEM.

- I've got to give a huge shout out to our volunteers. These are busy people who make time to serve our church and community. I absolutely love these people! THANK YOU!

Have a great week. Keep being WEIRD!

I love being a part of what God is doing at Life Church and LifeKIDS!! This past week was Easter and it was wonderful! We had two services for the first time which meant double the time, volunteers and supplies! I was and still am in awe of our amazing volunteers who so graciously gave of their time to go over and above to help with the extra service! There were over 60 volunteers in LifeKIDS alone! We saw 116 kids between the two services!

LifeKIDS started the Easter story a week ago, so they were able to spend two weeks on learning the true meaning of Easter. Three classes made resurrection eggs to use during the week to share it with others during the week that lead up to Easter.

Sunday little girls came in their best Easter dresses, boys dressed in ties, visitors all around and special snacks to celebrate His resurrection! The kids were able to hear about and have hands on activities to make the story of Easter real to them from our 3 year old class through our 4th grade class! We had jelly beans, balloons, the flowering cross, crafts, eggs, stickers... Both teachers and students seemed to enjoy the lessons!
Mother’s Day is just around the corner! I pray you are making plans to make that special mom of yours know how much she is loved!

Oh, the holidays are great, but let’s remember to spend time daily with our Father! He is the way, the truth and the life!

Hope your week is great!
