1st Friday of Every Month
(September-May)
6-9pm

Parents enjoy a night out while our children's ministry provides a fun place for your children to hang out. Each month brings a different theme and a different meal. It is a lot of fun. Many children come in their PJs so they are ready for bed when they get home.

Thank you for making sure we receive your RSVP no later than the first Tuesday of each month.

May 12th

A celebration of women will take place on this Sunday. We will honor our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, nieces and sisters during worship. We will praise the teachers who shaped and molded us and we will remember those who have passed on and those who made an impact in our lives. Our children’s choir will sing and Pastor Jeff will preach about a Mother’s Heart.

May 19th

We celebrate the act of Pentecost today as we remember the power of the Holy Spirit coming upon the church of Jesus’ day. Our puppets will tell us the story of Pentecost and the Back Porch Gang will lead our worship music.

May 26th

Our veterans will be honored and recognized on this Memorial Sunday. The sacrament of Holy Communion will be served and we will share in the bread and the wine as a church family. Join us for this special service.

Monetary donations: please make your check payable to Lanes Chapel UMC and write “Basket Ministry” in the memo line. Drop your check in the offering plate or send to Lanes Chapel UMC • 8720 Old Jacksonville  Hwy • Tyler, TX 75703.

Types of baskets: Welcome New Members (We love our new members. What a great way to welcome them with their Bible, name tag, church information!), Welcome New Neighbors/Church Invitation (Do you have new neighbors?

What: Truth Project Bible Study

What is Focus on the Family's The Truth Project^®? 

"In a recent study, the Barna Research Group revealed a stunning statistic that continues to reverberate throughout the evangelical world. Only 9 percent of professing Christians have a biblical worldview.¹

Because of this, today's believers live very similarly to non-believers. A personal sense of significance is rarely experienced, we spend our money and time on things that fail to satisfy and we begin to wonder what life's ultimate purpose really is. We are, in short, losing our bearings as a people and a nation.

To counter this slide within the body of Christ, we are launching one of the most ambitious and powerful projects in the history of our ministry—Focus on the Family's The Truth Project.

The Truth Project is a DVD-based small group curriculum comprised of 13 one-hour lessons taught by Dr. Del Tackett. This home study is the starting point for looking at life from a biblical perspective. Each lesson discusses in great detail the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview in daily life.

We believe this one project represents the possibility for exponential change within the body of Christ, as we expect that thousands will be transformed by this curriculum. As it has been throughout history, God continues to call ordinary people to make an eternal difference in our world.

We invite you to be a part of this cultural change by participating in or leading a small group of your own. Contact us to learn how you can get involved in Focus on the Family's The Truth Project!
