LCM hosts a weekly Bible Study on the JMU campus to give students an opportunity to grow closer together as we engage in God’s Word. We love to ask big questions and learn new things about the text, but it’s also a great opportunity to check in on and encourage one another during the week. We’ll gather in D-Hall for a Bible Study over breakfast. (If you don’t have a meal plan, don’t let that be a barrier! Talk to Pastor Alex, and we’ll help out.)

Come join us and bring a friend for our Property workday! We will hang the acoustic sound boards in the Sanctuary and do some landscaping. For more info, contact Mark Byerly (msbyerlype@comcast.net or 540-271-1478).

A thank you lunch for all Lay Assisting Ministers (LAMs) and for those who might consider serving as a LAM will be in Wayland Hall. We will review best practices and give thanks for those who are serving. If you are feeling called to consider this ministry, please join us! LAMs prepare and lead the Prayers of the People, set up communion before the service and clean up afterward, and assist the pastors in various parts of the service. Liturgy is the “work of the people,” and we would love to have more people involved in this work! Come join us for lunch — no commitment required! If you have questions, contact Mary Elizabeth Skinner (homeofjuno@msn.com).
