Keep the Light Burning

I can remember in summer church camp singing "This little light of mine I'm going to let it shine." I especially remember the fun we had with verse, "hide it under a bushel, NO! I'm going to let it shine." This is a very appropriate song for the dark days of January and especially for the church season of Epiphany.

Epiphany means a revealing of God's truth and that's exactly what happened. God gave us His son Jesus Christ as a revelation of the truth. God wants us to know just how much we are loved and that we are supposed to share that love with others. So the light of the world, Jesus, was given to us. We received it. We know it, we see it, and we got it.

Now it's up to us to pass it on and there are lots of ways for each of us to be a light to the world:

--We can tell a neighbor, a friend, a coworker about the amazing activities at Little Home Church like our Chili Cook-off on Feb. 7

--We can share stories about our worship and mission experiences here like our Pilgrim service or Christmas Eve or the mission trip to Biloxi, Mississippi

--We can volunteer to give time serving others with our outreach programs like the food pantry or the literacy project

--We can volunteer to tell our faith story during worship on Sunday morning

--We can listen to a friend share their concerns and faith questions that encourage us to respond with the honest beliefs that we have

These are just a few of the ways that we can share the light of Christ and reach out into the world. Jesus wants us to show and tell the good news of God's love and Little Home Church.

The LHC Search and Call committee is working on the comprehensive Local Church Profile using the process developed by the UCC Conference. This document will cover every aspect of our church, including the church's fiscal profile; specific aspects of our congregational life; general information about our policies and staff; wider church relations; and characteristics of the community. 

The committee met on Dec. 16 and will resume the regular meeting schedule on Jan. 5 and 27. Questions are welcome and may be directed to the following members of the Search and Call committee:
