Vision

laurentiancf — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:26:38 +0000

Hello Everyone

This is some exciting news to share with you! The exec put much thought and prayer into forming a vision for LCF. Please read the attachment to become more familiar with the direction LCF plans to take this year, and maybe many years to come.
LCF Vision 2011/2012
We pray that you jump on board with us and dive heart first into a community that is Deep with Jesus, Real with Each Other, and Close to the Campus.

Please keep LCF in your prayers; that we may not lose focus of the Vision God has given, that all of us continue to seek out God’s Will for our lives and LCF … and that we become one awesome, big family!

If you have any question about the vision or anything else for that matter, please email!

Blessed,
LCF Exec

It’s time to build a sincere, authentic, organic, Jesus-centered community and family!

Are you ready!?

“Father we thank you for all you have given us! You are amazing and have brought us so far already. Please give us wisdom, guidance and discernment when looking for you and building community. Help us to be open to you moving freely; that we wouldn’t hesitate to not only walk with you, but run where you lead us. You are the God of Sudbury, You are the King of Laurentian, You are the Lord of the students. Help us not to loose focus. You are wonderful, thank you for everything you have in the making! “

Community – What do you think?

Wrestling with Community

By Matt Litton

“…so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.“
Romans 12:5 TNIV

WHEN WE BEGIN TO wrestle with what it means to live in community, we are wrestling with what it would look like to be honest, vulnerable and transparent with other believers. To be really forthcoming, as much as I hope for that type of community and work toward it in my own life, sometimes the idea scares the heck out of me. I think it is there, in the tension of my own struggle, that I recognize the real issue: If the Church is going to stay relevant and engaged in our culture, we need to figure this community thing out.I find that the intimate sharing with old friends comes from a familiarity and trust built through years of knowing-but it pales in comparison to the eternal story that we share with our fellow believers. What could happen if through prayer and commitment we allowed those we worshiped with, maybe those we were starting a new small group with, that same level of trust and intimacy? I believe that is the type of transparency the Gospel is calling us to- to recognize that we are people of an eternal story. We are old friends.Ultimately, the key to intentional Christian community begins with intentional transparency.

Do you consider those you worship with to be your “real friends”? How can you create authentic community through church?

Summer Time !
