Today, we have exciting news for you. Today, we are starting “The Faughn Family Blog!” Wait a minute…what? I thought that was the name of this site anyway. Well…it is. But today, we are announcing that we are going to begin emphasizing family in far more of our posts. For some time, we have divided our posts up, with most of the posts being about either “church life” or “family.” However, starting today, we want to turn the emphasis of the blog more toward family. How do we plan on doing that? Here are 6 ways we hope to help your family through this new emphasis. 1. Two or three posts…

With the transition to four ministers, we thought it would be a good time to redesign our bulletin, as well. We do not change it often, as we’ve kept the previous design for over 4 years. And this was not a major overhaul. We mostly changed the fonts and laid the front page out a little differently. Even these small changes, we think, make the bulletin attractive and useful. Here’s the finished product. Let us know what you think! Lebanon Road Bulletin 2014 ———————- Don’t Miss a Post! Subscribe via email to get every post for free, and get a FREE eBook.  

[NOTE: This week on the blog, we are sharing with you 5 posts about how Lebanon Road is starting 2014. We are excited about what this year holds, and we hope these articles encourage you.] In our fourth installment this week, we want to introduce you to our new Youth Minister. Andrew Pate worked with us at Lebanon Road this summer as our youth intern, and we are grateful that he is now back with us full time. He and JD will be working together closely for the first few months, which will be a great asset to both Andrew and the youth program. Andrew was kind enough to sit…

[NOTE: This week on the blog, we are sharing with you 5 posts about how Lebanon Road is starting 2014. We are excited about what this year holds, and we hope these articles encourage you.] As we mentioned some time ago on the blog, Lebanon Road decided to hire a fourth minister. (We’ll have more about that later in the week.) We are so thankful that JD Buckner is still with us at Lebanon Road, but he is transitioning from being our Youth Minister to being our Minister of Growth and Education. What does that mean? JD took some time to sit down with me and give this short description.…

[NOTE: This week on the blog, we are sharing with you 5 posts about how Lebanon Road is starting 2014. We are excited about what this year holds, and we hope these articles encourage you.] Like other congregations, Lebanon Road puts forward goals for each year. For 2014, however, the decision was made to reorganize the way we approach our goals for the year. In past years, we would have 10-15 goals, covering a wide array of “church life.” Goals might include possible attendance numbers, emphasis on community involvement, changes to the physical facilities, or interest in a mission point. In 2014, we still have very similar ideals, but we…

[NOTE: This week on the blog, we are sharing with you 5 posts about how Lebanon Road is starting 2014. We are excited about what this year holds, and we hope these articles encourage you.] For the past couple of years, we have tried to have a theme at Lebanon Road that gives us an umbrella under which to work. We do not try to make every sermon, class, or activity fit under this theme. Instead, the theme provides us with a general framework that we are striving to emphasize at various times throughout the year. In 2012, we went “Back to the Basics,” then in 2013, we went “Outward…

Welcome to the November episode of the Faughn Family Podcast.
