Welcome and thank you so much for making our worship experience a priority of your week.  Today we conclude the teaching series on INFLUENCE.  Salt, Light, Holiness (think tooth brush) and today, Anointing. Our goal has been to think through how Christian witness can regain some of its influence in our culture.  I don’t think anyone would deny that Christianity in America today has less of an influence that it had in century past. “Lord, help us be salt and light.  Lord, help us to live out Lordship.  Lord, help us have the aroma of Christ emanating from our lives.  We want to make a difference for you.”
For those who are guests today please know we are glad you are here. Please take a connection card to the welcome center after service.  It will help us get to know you.  For our regular church family, please know your pastor is especially glad you are here. Let’s all enter into His presence with expectation today.
Ann and Paul Martin, Lead Pastors

Welcome to all! It’s so good to have each of you share together in today’s worship experience.  Today, we are continuing the teaching series, Influence, and we earnestly desire to re-capture some of the transformational influence the church has had in America in centuries past.
It is an honor to have some special guests here today from Fitchburg Teen Challenge. Welcome, Ladies. I know we’ll be encouraged as we hear their stories of God’s unconditional, all-encompassing love.  For others who may be visiting today, we would be so appreciative if you would be so kind to fill out a connection card and take it to the Welcome Center after service.  Our hospitality team has a gift for you there.  Thanks so much.
Let’s open our hearts to the Lord and to each other as we worship together.
Paul and Ann Martin

WELCOME!
Our current teaching series, “INFLUENCE” continues today. Our desire is for our church to have a significant, transformational influence on our culture. Through the metaphors used in Scripture, we are learning what that looks like and how it can happen. If you missed one of the teachings, they have all been uploaded to our website and available for free download.
For those who are guests today, you can help us get to know you by filling out a connection card located in the seat back in front of you.  After service, please take the card to a member of our hospitality team at the welcome center; they will have a gift for you there.  Thanks so much for sharing this worship experience with us.
P.S. I thought you might like to know that Darla and Percy are VERY glad Ann has returned from Costa Rica.  They have been rescued from life in dog world.  :))

Welcome!
Thanks so much for being with us this weekend.  We are delighted each of you has put forth the effort to share the worship experience together.  Please peruse the bulletin to acquaint yourself with the various ways to connect with the church.
The teaching series we are currently in, INFLUENCE, is intended to explore biblical solutions to remedy the church’s seeming lack of influence in our society today.  Never before in our lifetime has there been a more desperate need for a Holy Spirit empowered, love of God motivated church.  The cry of our heart is, Lord, let it be; here and now!
Ann and Paul Martin, Lead Pastors

Welcome to worship!
Today we will be starting a 5-week teaching series, “INFLUENCE”. After last weekend the Lord began stirring my heart about how desperate it is for the people of God to make a difference in our nation. It’s all about influencing others toward truth and righteousness. Then I began to meditate on some of the metaphors Jesus used to help us understand the whole process of how we can best turn our world toward God—light, holiness, salt, anointing. I ask that each of us make every effort to be a part of what the Lord will be saying to us over the next 4 weeks.  If you should happen to go out of town, please be purposeful in downloading the teaching from the website or watching it on TV or picking up a CD. I believe that being on the same page with this will help us as a church move forward in unity and strength. I think we would all agree the church in America has had a diminishing effect on culture. That can change. That MUST change. By God’s grace, that WILL change, so help us God.
Paul and Ann Martin, Lead Pastors

Happy July 4th to all.
Today we will be focusing our thoughts on our national heritage.  In fact we will be going back to the era of the Mayflower to discover some of the main foundation stones that were put in place.  To suggest that some of those foundational beliefs have been and are continuing to be eroded is certainly not without merit.  This year let’s use our Independence Day celebration to reflect on the state of our nation and call on God for HIS help. I think most would agree, America needs Sovereign help.

Welcome to LAOG! We are assured that as we meet together for worship, the Lord’s presence will be evident. This is so assuring. Whatever is our individual point of need, the Lord Jesus himself is here to speak words of life, wholeness, healing, provision, deliverance etc. Thank you Lord Jesus.
Note:  Next weekend let’s wear our red, white, and blue for Independence Day.
