Parent & Toddler Bible Hour

TL;DR = Rachel Sullivan is starting a Parent & Toddler Bible Hour on Sundays at 9:15 am to share God's Word with our little ones and give parents some fellowship time.

Being a parent with a young child is HARD. For that matter, it's hard when they get older too, but the challenges change. 

While kids are very young, they don't want to sit still. You have to do everything for them. Getting them ready to go anywhere takes way more time than getting yourself ready. To top it off, you probably had an interrupted night's sleep and aren't functioning at 100%. It is so much harder to push yourself and your family to be at church when you have a young one. 

If you find yourself in this struggle, you are not alone. 

One of our new members, Rachel Sullivan, has a young son who's about a year and a half old. She knows that most of her and her husband's Sunday mornings are spent entertaining their son while also trying to catch refreshment and encouragement from God's Word for themselves.

This is why she agreed to lead a Parent & Toddler Bible Hour on Sundays at 9:15 am. All parents with infants and/or toddlers - whether they are members of LOTV or not - are invited to join her week to week with Bible stories, songs, activities, and play. 

So, grab a coffee and connect with other parents while you and your children also connect with God through his Word and are encouraged. 

If you have any questions, please contact Rachel at raobajtek@hotmail.com.

Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." (Luke 18:16)

The Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Money's Proper Place

There are more than 2,300 Bible passages that speak about money. Why? Money is a master Satan frequently tempts us to love and serve. However, we can’t serve both God and money. This weekend, we evaluate the proper place of money in our lives, recognizing that it doesn’t last and can’t save us, but is a gift from God for both necessities and enjoyment.

The Bible readings for this coming Sunday and Monday are: 
Ecclesiastes 5:10-20
Psalm 128
1 Timothy 6:6-10, 17-19
Luke 16:1-13

The Sunday morning worship service will livestream at 10:30 am on both Facebook.com/lotvlayton and Youtube.com/lotvlayton

"I rejoiced with those who said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the LORD.'"
(Psalm 122:1)
