YOU BELONG HERE
“I Am The Vine; You Are The Branches. Whoever Abides In Me And I In Him, He It Is That Bears Much Fruit, For Apart From Me You Can Do Nothing.” John 15:5, ESV
SERMON PREVIEW
A Short Message To Get You Excited For Sunday’s Worship Service.
“YOU BELONG HERE”
No Christian can stand on an island by himself or herself. Just as a football player can't win a game without his teammates, Christians must work together in the church to accomplish the will of God. That's why we want everyone to feel like they have a place in the church! You belong here, because it's here, in the family of God, that God is glorified and we are edified. Sunday, we'll study Ephesians 4:1-16 to see 2 ways that we should be united as a church family so we can "walk in a manner worthy." We hope to see you there at 10 AM for Bible class and 11 AM for worship!

FUN & FELLOWSHIP AT THE SPRING FLING
This past Saturday was Holly Hill’s Spring Fling and God blessed us with a beautiful day! Everyone had a wonderful time and, I’m fairly certain, one or two pieces of candy! Check out some of the photos pictured above. Be sure to give a BIG thank you to David & Sarah Jones, as well as everyone else who had a hand in making this a special day!
DYLAN NORTON WAS BAPTIZED ON SATURDAY
Dylan Norton, Tina Mitchell’s grandson, was added to the Lord's church Saturday morning in Baptism. Praise be to God for His faithfulness and giving us the gift of life through the death of His son.

AN UPDATE ON CHURCH RECYCLING
In September 2024 the Frankfort Recycling Facility on Rouse Avenue had a fire that damaged the facility and disrupted services. Currently only plastic bottles and paper can be collected and dropped off to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office and/or Lake View Park. WE WILL ONLY COLLECT PLASTIC BOTTLES & PAPER UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
PTP 2025: EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION
PTP 2025 Early Bird Registration Will End Soon! Register now to receive a discount on each adult's tuition.
There is simply no way to describe the PTP experience to someone who has never attended.
You just have to be there—when thousands of people join in worship, it is indescribable—when a thousand preachers feast on the Word and share their expertise, it is unlike anything you have seen before—when elders share wisdom to solve complicated issues, you will be amazed—when 700 teens and youth get together, the excitement is palpable—when hundreds of women grow together spiritually, the joy is evident.
When 200+ speakers cover nearly 1,000 topics in 10-14 concurrent classes over the two events, your spiritual bucket will overflow and your heart will soar—when the constant challenge is deciding which class to attend because they all sound so interesting, you will know you are at PTP.
At the current registration rate, the Early-Bird price will end early in April. So register today to make sure you receive the discount!
