September Update
Living Stones Church
Downtown Sparks
Coming Christmas Eve 2023
How do you remember the Septembers of your childhood?
In my mind, September has always been the month of change. It was marked by the return of school, along with a new morning schedule, new clothes to last me the year, a new shot at the football squad, new teachers, new friends, maybe even an entirely new school. Do you recall the feelings of nervousness and excitement that came with September?
Here, among our Core Team of church planters, we are feeling the anticipation of the September launch. We have spent our summer preparing, training and connecting as a team and now, on September the 24th, Living Stones Downtown Sparks (previously known as South Sparks) is launching her first preview service! Our plan is to have 4 services this year: Sept 24th, Oct 29th, Nov 19th & Dec 24th. We will invite the whole city to join us on Christmas Eve and gather with us every week in 2024.
God has been so faithful to answer our prayers in providing a great location for our church to begin. The staff of Lincoln Park Elementary school in Downtown Sparks has asked us to partner with them saying, “Our community needs a church like yours. We have been hoping that we could partner with a church for several years.” The staff of Lincoln Park is going above and beyond to accommodate our needs, they are passionate about our shared vision and are already serving as gatekeepers to us becoming a known part of the city. Lincoln Park Elementary will be a great location to grow our young church and establish healthy rhythms as a community in the community. What a massive open door from the Lord! Thanks be to God for his goodness and to his people for their prayers!
We are treating the upcoming September 24th gathering like the first preseason football game of the year. Our goal as a church is to gather our teams and execute our Sunday service game plan for the 1st time. We will unload our storage, transform the cafeteria into a sanctuary, stage the connect desk, kids check-in and coffee bar. Our band will lead us in worship, I will preach the Word, our kids will learn and pray together and we will serve one-another communion. After the service we will clean up, pack up and debrief as a team.
With September upon us, it’s time to start purchasing the supplies we need to be prepared for fall services. You can support the church plant in this super practical and tangible way- simply click the link to our Gift Registry and choose an item or items that you want to help supply for this plant. The list includes Bibles, communion supplies, LS Kids items and a little something for every Sunday ministry.
Thank you for your endless prayers and support. We are so excited for this new endeavor, and almost equally as nervous! It is so comforting during this time of newness and transition to know that we are not alone. We feel the full support and prayers of our brothers and sisters throughout the LS family of churches, Acts 29 and beyond. God has shown us his faithfulness week by week, as we celebrate new members joining our core team, leaders stepping up to serve and favor from those who don't yet know him. Thank you for joining us and being a part of the mission!
