Sunday Worship, October 18, 2020

Come worship with us on Sunday morning, October 18, 2020 at 11 a.m. Join us on our LBC Facebook page at www.facebook.com/LansdowneBaptistChurch 

This Sunday's live stream will come from the sanctuary to ensure all our equipment works properly in that location. Please join us online as we aren't ready for the congregation to join us just yet. However, if you'd like to join us out on the lawn after the service for a time of socially-distanced, mask wearing fellowship in the open air, we'll see you there around 12:30 when we have our equipment taken down.

This Sunday's sermon will be based on Exodus 33:12-23 where we see how Moses rebuilds a shattered covenant with God and what that means for us. Sing favorite hymns with Sherry. Add to the comments your joys and concerns as you arrive or just say hello so we know who's here.

There are two ways now to send in your offerings to support the ministries of Lansdowne Baptist Church. You can use the PayPal Donate button located on the right at the top of the panel where new material appears. Or you can make out a check to Lansdowne Baptist Church and send it to Lansdowne Baptist Church, 17 E. LaCrosse Ave., Lansdowne, PA 19050. We could not continue to provide online worship or help to our community and the world without you. God bless you all.

See you Sunday morning at 11 a.m. Have a blessed week. ~Pastor Jeff
