Coffee? Check.

Croissants? Check.

A group of friends seeking God? Check!

What better way to start the day? It’s why we run our prayer breakfasts, fuelling our church life as a group of us gather to seek God for one another and the town.

Every Friday over the next ten weeks, we’ll be meeting at 6.45am at The Depot. We pray together until 8am, and then stick the kettle on. So why not pop along, join us in prayer, and start your weekend with an ‘Amen’?

This terms prayer breakfasts will be for 10 weeks Friday 6th January until Friday 9th March

From 8th January onwards we return to two services on a Sunday morning beginning at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.

We are also giving the month of January as our vision weeks, covering how we see LCC moving forward in the areas that we feel are most important to us as a church.

We want to cast a vision to enable us all to position ourselves to see more of Gods purpose worked in us and in the community around us.

We will be speaking on relational teams, training & discipleship, visibility in the community and the presence of God.  Our goal is for all of us to be stirred again by the prophetic promises that God has spoken over us and to see how we can each play our part.

We believe that God has spoken amazing prophetic words over us as a church and are excited about the journey we all have ahead of us.

This year’s final Together on a Mission conference in Brighton was a fantastic event, gathering people from all over the world as part of the Newfrontiers family of churches. Along with magnificent times of worshipping together, both the Leadership International and Mobilise (for students and twenties) streams of the conference were packed full of fantastic sermons and seminars.

Every such talk from the week is available to download free from the Newfrontiers website. Simply follow the links below and navigate using the menu on the left hand side of the page, where you’ll also find links to recordings from many previous conferences.

Whether your thing is art, technology, business or politics; whether you feel a call to influence national culture or to simply be salt and light in your own situation, the Everything conference is geared for those with a passion that their walk with Christ is more than just theology. This can be applicable to everyone, whatever your situation or character!

This year’s Everything conference builds on the momentum of last year’s by welcoming Andy Crouch – author of Culture Making – as keynote speaker at the one-day event in London on Saturday 26th March 2011, which is open to everybody to attend.

Ephesians was once described by Samuel Taylor Coleridge as “the divinest composition of man”.  In this teaching series we are looking to dig deep into the profound truths about God that Ephesians contains, and discover that the revelation of God’s love that it brings is truly life changing.

As usual, all preaches in the series will be available to download for free online. The first ones are already up! But if you’re able to make it, we’d love to welcome you along to our weekly meetings to hear them in the flesh. So why not join us on Sunday mornings, 9am and 11am, and experience this Love Revelation?

With this in mind, we’re hoping to be making a number of updates to the site over the coming month. We thank you for your patience as these are going on. If you have any feedback at any point, please feel free to email jackiekinney@lcc-lowestoft.co.uk

In the meantime though, we’re pleased to announce two exciting new ways for you to stay up-to-date with the church starting now! Lowestoft Community Church is now linked in with Facebook and Twitter…so if you use either (or both) of these services then please do follow us to get the latest updates straight through to your feed.

You’ll find us on Facebook here, and on Twitter @lcclowestoft

Watch this space for more updates!

On Sunday 26th December (Boxing Day), and Sunday 2nd January, we will only be holding one service in the morning, 10am at The Depot. It’ll be a great chance to all join together!

From Sunday 9th January onwards, we’ll revert back to our 9am and 11am twin services.

Have a great Christmas!

Last Christmas, we were able to raise £10,000 in our appeal to help the poor in Kenya. Through the churches we are linked with there, the money has helped set up fish farms and grain stores, allowing people in the Mount Kenya region the dignity of working and providing for themselves. Mike Betts was able to visit the projects whilst working with the churches in Kenya this year, the short video below gives and idea of just how your money has been spent.

This year we are again raising money for this work in Kenya, to fund further fish farms and grain stores as part of a continued relationship with the churches there. If you would like to donate to the appeal, please send cheques payable to ‘Lowestoft Community Church’ to
