Let introduce our prayer drill to you: We pray Scripture to the Lord and then affirm some prayer needs to Him based on that Scripture. Matthew 18:19-20 says, (19) Again, truly I tell you that if two of you agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. (20) For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." (NIV) Mark 11:24, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." (NIV)
Father, we are gathered together and are asking you for things that we believe we have received from you, knowing these things will be ours. 1) Fill our table class so totally that we have to add tables. We praise you for doing this. 2) Fill our worship services so completely that we have bring in chairs. We praise you for doing this. 3) Power up our worship music to the place where we experience you. We praise you for doing this. 4) Open the door to provide powerful ministry to children and youth. We praise you for doing this. 5) Open the doors to people who need Jesus so we can share with them. We praise you for doing this. 6) Fill our Christmas Eve Candlelight Communion Service so full we have to bring in chairs. We praise you for doing this.

The Minister’s Message
Let me take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Tom West. I am, what I call the new, old minister at the Lindsay Christian Church. I came on as minister back in July of this year. I follow the 39-year ministry of my friend, Paul Leavens. Paul’s health required that he retire. Paul and the church board asked me to serve as their new Senior Minister. I refer to myself as the new, old minister because I am 75 years old.
I want to use my weekly article, The Minister’s Message to keep you up to speed on what we are up to in the ministry of the Lindsay Christian Church.
One month ago, we started what I call The Table Class. We meet Sunday morning in rooms 3 and 4 from 9:00 to 9:50. We have 4 tables. You join a table and your table becomes your fellowship group. I teach a 30-minute lesson and then you have 20 minutes of fellowship around your table. We are doing an in-depth study of the book of Acts. This Sunday, November 24 we will teach from Acts 2:42, a powerful description of the life of the early church. This text holds some important concepts for us to grasp as we seek to restore the New Testament church. I hope you will join us for our study and fellowship.
Worship begins at 10:00 in our worship chapel. We will share in a time of prayer, worship in song, communion and a message from Ephesians 4:7-13 as we work our way through a series of messages from the book of Ephesians. You will be blessed by our worship service and I hope you will join us.
Following worship this Sunday we will have a church potluck to celebrate Thanksgiving together. The church will provide turkey and ham, and we ask our people to share a side dish and we will have a great time of fellowship eating together.
Be sure to mark your calendar for a new tradition for Lindsay Christian Church. On December 24 we will have a Christmas Eve Communion Celebration Service at 4:00. We have a great celebration service planned and will be done in plenty of time for everyone to enjoy all your family celebrations. I hope you will join us and bring a friend or family member to share in this celebration of the Christmas season!
Big Blessings in Jesus,
Tom West, Minister
About Us
What are Christian Churches anyway?
They are congregationally governed bodies with no official organization controlling them. They desire to reproduce in doctrine, life, and practice the church founded by Christ.
