Read MoreThis week we are formally kicking off our annual affirmation process. While it is a process designed specifically for our members, those who have formally covenanted and committed to the church body at LTCC, we invite all those who attend LTCC to engage with the process.
Read MoreDo we understand all that’s going on? No, but we’re not to lean on our understanding. What we are to do is trust and lean on Jesus. We are to acknowledge Him as our Head, and rest in His promise that He will make the way forward clear.
