Pastor Julie Frank is in the middle of preaching from the book of James (one of my favorites). She has already preached through Chapter three and has a couple of more sermons. Our sermons rarely go into books like James, so we encourage you to come out hear her. She is also giving the same sermons during our tradtional service on Sundays at 9:30.

Eventually, we would like to have a full live band peform out our services to include vocals, guitars, bass, keys, procussion, drums, and anything else that would add to the sound. If you're an MLC disciple our a musician that would like to come check out our service and maybe help start a band, feel free to post here or talk to us at the service.

For our September music, we've added and re-arranged some of our songs and trying something different. Pastor Julie Frank (guitar and vocals) and Marilyn Beyer (lead vocals) are peforming during the offertory. The rest of the playlist includes:

Opener - Open The Eyes Of My Heart / Sonic Flood
Gospel - Word of God Speak / Kutless
Post Sermon - Shout To The North / Delirious?
Communion - Loose In The World / Peter Mayer
Closing - Blessed Be Your Name / Tree63

For August, here is our playlist of songs:

Opening hymn - Agnus Dei / Third Day
Gospel hymn - Word Of God Speak / Kutless
Post sermon hymn - God Of Wonders / City On A Hill
Offertory hymn - Shout To The North / Delirious?
Communion hymn - Loose In The World / Peter Mayer
Closing hymn - Blessed Be Your Name / Tree63

July Playlist

For July and the first Sunday in August, our playlist will be:

Opening Hymn - Lifesong / Casting Crowns
Scripture Hymn - Word Of God Speak / Kutless
Post Sermon Hymn - God Of Wonders / City On A Hill
Offertory Hymn - Agnus Dei / Third Day
Communion Hymn - Loose In The Word / Peter Mayer
Closing Hymn - King Of Glory / Third Day

We change our music from month to month and would welcome any suggestions for the future. Feel free to post them here.

June 27 and July 4

This Saturday June 27, Pastor Dorr will be out of town, so one of our disciples (Rich Langston) will be preaching from the verses Mark 5:21-43 and Lamentations 3:22-33. The central theme will be faith.

On July 4, we have multiple people that will be out of town (given it being the same day as a national holiday), so we will not be holding worship. We will return back to our normal schedule on July 11.

Rescue Mission

Earlier in April this year, we visited one of Jacksonville's Rescue Missions on MacDuff Avenue. We served the residents dinner, but also got to know the people that run the kitchen. It was a very inspiring day meeting many people who have had a rough life that are on a good path now. We look forward to partnering with them more in the future to do what we can for those that may not have had the fortunate lives that we have had.

June Playlist

We traditionally change our music from month to month by a few songs to stay both familiar and fresh. Recently we've used some songs on a one time only basis such as David Crowder's version of Oh For A Thousand Tongues To Sing for Pentecost. For June, here is what we are using:

Opening Hymn - Shout To The North / Delirious?
Gospel Reading Hymn - Thy Word / Amy Grant
Post Scripture Hymn - God Of Wonders / City On A Hill
Prayers Hymn - Come Thou Fount / Tangled Blue
Offertory Hymn - Lifesong / Casting Crowns
Communion Hymn - Loose In The World / Peter Mayer
Closing Hymn - King Of Glory / Third Day

Our Contemporary Service

We have a contemporary service every Saturday at 5:30. Our address is 11900 San Jose Blvd, Jacksonville, FL. We have kept Lutheran traditions such as gospel readings, communion, and baptism, however we also use contemporary music. Right now we use pre-recorded music, but will hopefully add a choir soon and down the road we want to add a full band. Pastor Dorr traditionally gives most of the sermons, but we also have many of our disciples that preach as well. This is a fledgling lay lead service and we welcome anyone that would like to try us out.
