Scripture of the Week:  
The Strength of the Faithful
 
Habakkuk 3:17-18(The Message)
 
Though the cherry trees don't blossom
   and the strawberries don't ripen,
Though the apples are worm-eaten
   and the wheat fields stunted,
Though the sheep pens are sheepless
   and the cattle barns empty,
I'm singing joyful praise to God.
   I'm turning cartwheels of joy to my Savior God.
Counting on God's Rule to prevail,
   I take heart and gain strength.
I run like a deer.
   I feel like I'm king of the mountain!
LWCC Celebrates Our

143rd Anniversary
143rd Anniversary
143rd Anniversary 

  Light of the World Christian Church, established in 1866, celebrated the 143rd anniversary of the church this past week.  "The Light," as it is affectionately known has a truly rich heritage in the Indianapolis community.  Throughout the history of the church, LWCC has acted as a standard-bearer in our community, speaking out against moral wrongs and striving to carry the Good News of Jesus Christ to all nations.  
  The 143rd Church Anniversary celebration began with Worship Service on Sunday, November 8 with special guest speaker Bishop Eric Garnes of Tabernacle of Praise Cathedral, Brooklyn, NY.  The celebration continued with "Total Praise", a concert hosted by the LWCC Music & Worship Arts Ministries.  The concert featured the Voices of the Light Choir, Temples of the Light Dance Ministry, and several special guests.  LWCC truly showed up and showed out during this phenomenal celebration.  To God be the glory!!!
