Upcoming Meetings
Council meeting June 6th at 6:30pm
Annual Voters Meeting June 11th after Second Service
2023-2024 Council Positions
We have some openings on our Church Council for 2023-2024. We have openings for two at-large spots and a secretary. Meetings are mostly business related. We deal with budget items, repair items and get updates on how the various ministries are doing. Meetings are typically on the second Tuesday of the month at 6pm. Meetings usually are done in an hour. We meet about 10 months of the year. This is an important role for the life of the congregation. These positions are for members only. If you would be interested in helping in one of these roles, or you have any questions, please talk to Pastor Jim.
LWML Mites
Please remember to bring your mites on the first Sunday of the month. These donations are used to help fund our local Pacific Southwest District and national mission grants. Thank you for making a difference!

Adult Ed. - Theology of the Cross
Pastor Jim will be continuing Luther’s Theology of the cross. We will be meeting from May 21 to July 2. We will be looking at the Heidelberg Disputation which Luther wrote a few months after he nailed the 95 Theses to the Castle door in Wittenberg. The main points we will be talking about are good works and free will. Whether you are a new Christian or a life long Lutheran. The topics are helpful for all of us.
May Reading Challenge
As we continue to read a chapter of the Bible each day, here is a list for each day in the month of May.
You can also pick your own chapter to read. Click here for the reading list.
Men’s Kegger Bible study:
We will meet for four weeks- May 10, 17, 24 and 31. We meet at 6pm and finish at 7:30pm. We have hotdogs, chips, beer and coke. If you want something else- different drink, desserts, etc., bring your own. If you have never been to a kegger you are missing out! It is a relaxing and casual time. If you can show up at 5:15 or so to help set up that would be great!
Men’s Retreat:
We will have our summer retreat August 4-6. We will be going down to Palm Dessert. The best part of the trip is the food. We usually eat at a couple of ‘Diner, Drive ins and Dive’ places. There will be golf on Saturday and/or Sunday for those who are interested. If you want to hang out at a pool all weekend, you can do that. Basically, the mornings and afternoons are yours to do what you want. We will have a bible study in the evenings. We try to keep the costs down. It will be about $100 for the condo for the weekend. And yes, it will be hot.
Our Nursery is back in use
Our Nursery is back in action. It is ready for your use during one of our worship services. At this time, the nursery is staffed for Second Service. First service attendees will need to stay in the room with their child. Children under five can utilize the nursery. Children five and older should be able to sit through a worship service.
Online Giving
We are using a new online giving platform called RebelGive. If you have automatic withdrawal with the old system, Tithe.ly, please discontinue those automatic withdrawals and set up a new one with the new system. Go to our website, www.locirvine.com and click the green ‘give’ button on the right side of the page to be able to do this.
