Let’s Connect
If you are here this morning, we want to know about it! This is especially true for those of you joining us online because your digital presence is a lot harder to detect and approach than your physical presence would be. Please take a minute to fill out the connection card found here (or at the top of this page) so we can connect with you! There is some information that we share through email, but if we don’t have your email address, we can’t get it to you. This connection card is also an excellent way to share prayer requests and praises with our prayer team, to request information about the church, upcoming events, or anything else you’d like us to know!
We Moved!
A huge thank you to everyone who helped us move from the mall into our new church home! It was incredible to see so many of you come together and make this transition so smooth as we step into this exciting new chapter. We're deeply grateful for the servant hearts and the time you generously gave last Sunday. As we settle into our new building, there are still many projects to complete (as you can see when you visit!). We would love your help in making this space feel like a warm and welcoming home. We’ll be hosting work nights in the coming weeks, so please let us know via the connection card if you’re available to help us.
Tool Time
Parenting is challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone! Here at Life Church Livonia, we’re dedicated to equipping you with practical discipleship tools that can help you lead your children well with God’s love and grace. Our lifeKids ministry is hosting a Tool Time Parenting Workshop on May 3rd from 9 a.m. to noon. Childcare will be provided and you can sign up for this workshop via this link.
Volunteer Appreciation Dinner
Our church couldn’t function without the incredible support of our volunteers—and that’s why we’re hosting a Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on Wednesday, May 14th from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Merri Bowl (30950 Five Mile Road, Livonia, MI 48154). Come join us as we celebrate those who have served alongside us to help build the community we all love to be a part of. Please RSVP by May 9th using this link.
Serve Now!
Speaking of our Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, here at Life Church Livonia we strive to create a community where everyone does something and no one does everything. That’s why we encourage those who call Life Church Livonia home to volunteer and help us live out the love of Jesus by serving those who walk through our doors on Sunday mornings. We’ve recently launched two services to make room for new people, and we’re asking our church family to “work one, worship one”—attend one service and serve during the other—to help us meet the needs of this exciting new season. If you’re not ready to fully commit, consider a “first serve,” where you can try out a volunteer role without having to fully commit to it yet. We’re also asking some of you to make a missional move and consider serving at the 9:00 a.m. service, as our 10:45 a.m. service is currently our busiest. Thank you for helping make this church happen and for building such a vibrant and fun community with us! If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please reach out to Pastor Kate at kate.buckner@lifechurchlivonia.org.
Potluck
And speaking of a fun and vibrant community—we love spending time together and building meaningful connections! On May 4th, immediately following the 10:45 a.m. service, we’ll gather for a time of good food and good laughs. You can sign up to bring a dish using this link, or choose to donate to help us cater the potluck. We can’t wait to see you there!
Team World Vision Global 6k for Water
The team world vision 6k is a local mission trip with a global impact. 6 kilometers is the average distance that a person without access to clean water walks in order to get the water they need to survive. The run exists to raise awareness and create momentum behind the need to solve the clean water crisis that exists in our world today. This humanitarian crisis is solvable and is solvable in our time and every $50 that is donated pays for one person to have access to clean for the rest of their life. We are not just putting on an event or trying to be fit, we are embodying the gospel by alleviating human suffering through giving people access to life through water, and through TWV, we give people access to the living water of Jesus as well. This is what it means to love our neighbor.
This event will happen on Saturday, May 17th in Shiawassee Park, Farmington at 10 AM. Please join us as a runner, as a cheerer, or as a donor as we run. Our goal as a team is to raise $5000 - will you help us get there? Join us for the event using this sign up and reach out to Jena Turk at 608-421-3628 if you have any additional questions.
Thanks for Giving
Here at Life Church Livonia, we believe that every person was made for a life transforming relationship with Jesus Christ. Everything we do is for that purpose. The only way we’re able to do any of the mission we are doing here at Life Church Livonia is that people like you give of your resources. If you have been giving, thank you. Your contribution has helped life change happen. If you haven’t begun giving, it’s never too late to start! If you joined us in person this morning you can drop your gift in the basket on your way out, or you can click here to give digitally.
