Each Thursday, we are emphasizing an area in which we are striving to meet that theme. —————————– Today’s “Greater Thing” is something we have been doing for some time at Lebanon Road, but that needs some more emphasis. A couple of years ago, I read a post of Steve Higginbotham’s wonderful blog (one of my favorites). The post was called “Removing the Lid.” In it, he described how a sermon, heard by some of the elders at South Green Street in Glasgow, Kentucky (where Steve preached at the time; now he is…

Each Thursday (yes, I know it’s Friday, but we’ve been posting VBS stuff all week), we are emphasizing an area in which Lebanon Road is seeking for Greater Things in 2011. “Greater Things” is our theme for the year.

Many take a week off work, while others just enjoy the nice weather for a weekend and go see something they’ve never seen before, or return to an old favorite spot to relax.

We spend months preparing for it. Even though the elders have asked me to coordinate VBS, there is no way I could list every person who helps. It…

Each Thursday we are showing ways in which we are striving for greater things. —————————– Beginning today, our next three “Greater Things” posts will deal with one of the largest events we have each year: Vacation Bible School.

Each Thursday, we are highlighting an area in which we are desiring greater things. ——————————- Graduation. What a wonderful time to share some words of congratulations as well as shedding a few tears. Families are proud of what their children have accomplished, and congregations have a natural time to pass along some well-wishes, too. Each year, Lebanon Road has a reception for our young people who are graduating from high school. As with most things we do, it is very well organized, and a great way to congratulate and honor these young people…
