the same things that interest you. Some of these are simply to have fun or
enjoy a good meal together. Others include elements of study or service.
Please explore and try one out.

Campus Ministry
The end of summer brings new students to Lexington, giving us that opportunity once again to invite these young people into our church community and to get to know some of them personally. Each year we offer the Adopt-a-Student program to make them feel at home in Lexington.
This ministry provides exam care packages for local students and cards and gift certificates to LPC youth away at college.
Coffee/Lemonade Fellowship
Fellowship featuring coffee during the cold months, lemonade during the warm months, and cookies all year follows the 11:00am service (10:00am in summer). During the colder months we meet in Dunlap Auditorium. When it is warmer, we gather in the garden between the sanctuary and Murray Hall.
Coffee and snacks are also available before and after the 8:45am service in Dunlap Auditorium during the winter months.
House Church
In-home fellowship provides an opportunity to nurture a sense of community and belonging among our adult members. We meet monthly in groups of 12 or 15 people October through May, in the homes of group members. Together we enjoy a fine meal and lots of good fellowship. The purpose is to get to know others in the congregation while at the same time to do a little soul searching through suggestions and questions provided by Bill Klein.

Presbyterian Men
The Saturday Morning Men's Fellowship Group meets at 7:30am the second Saturday of the month from September to May. Meetings last one hour, and include breakfast (provided on a rotation basis by each member) and a discussion of an assigned reading. Adult men of all ages are welcome. While reconstruction continues the location of the meeting can be found in the most recent newsletter.
The class is discussing The Return of the Prodigal Son. When Henri Nouwen stumbled across a poster of Rembrandt's Return of the Prodigal Son he began a spiritual journey that would help him understand the biblical parable as well as the story of his own life. Take this opportunity to join Henri as he leads the wayward prodigal and judgmental sibling who reside within each of us towards the open-handed, overwhelming compassion and eternal love of the Father
For more information contact Bob Moreschi, 463-6984.
Presbyterian Women
Our purpose is stated as: Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ, we commit ourselves: to nurture our faith through prayer and Bible study, to support the mission of the church worldwide, to work for justice and peace, and to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (USA) and witnesses to the promise of God's kingdom.

Three Sunday evenings during the summer, we invite you to a very casual, informal, and unstructured covered dish supper at the Manse, located at 6 White Street. The idea is for folks to bring whatever dish they wish to be thrown together for a meal on the Klein's lawn. There may be games of chase and freeze tag. There will be plenty of sitting around under huge shade trees and chewing the fat. All you have to bring is a dish, a lawn chair, an interest in spending some unhurried time with your church family, and a notion to pig out.
We begin gathering around 5:30 on each of the three Sunday evenings. Supper usually happens around 6:00. We go as long as you wish. The object is to have fun together as a church family. You are invited to bring guests.

Thantastic Thursdays
Food,
fun and fellowship. If you like any of these things, then come to church
on Thursdays at 5:45 p.m. for a prepared dinner and short program. We will have a child-friendly
menu for those under 12. The charge for the meal is $5 per person or $15
for a family. Please sign up in the Thantastic Thursdays book outside of
Lila's Office.
If you have a couple hours a month, please consider helping with the Thantastic Thursday meals. We need help with preparation (Wednesday 10-2), set-up (Thursday 12-3 and 3-6), and clean up (Thursday 6-8:30 pm). If you can just take one day a month and we spread the work out among many of us, it will be a sustainable ministry. We are hoping that this program will help reconnect many of our own members, attract young families and others from the community. There are several sign-up sheets around the church or speak to Mary Beth Baker about how you can serve the church in this program.
