The 38th LIC Annual Assembly
was held on March 3rd – 4th, 2008
in Alexandria
Theme: “Let Justice Roll Down Like Waters …” |
Our speakers were knowledgeable and passionate as they gave presentations regarding the churches role in advocacy & social justice, statewide efforts to help the poor, the Jena situation and other racial justice issues. We will be obtaining summary information from them regarding their presentations, and will post on the LIC website as soon as this is available. Our thanks to
The Rev. Tim Neustifter and the staff at First United Methodist for hosting us!
On the evening of March 3rd, we gathered with Father James A. Ferguson and members of the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Cathedral for an Ecumenical Worship Service. Bishop Thomas L. Brown, Sr. of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church preached a powerful sermon. And none who attended will ever forget the delightful voice and musical talents of the Red River Chorale, under the direction of Dr. Burt Allen. The worship music continued after the service with the beautiful reverberating sounds of the pipe organ as played by Mr. Lynn Bauman. Our thanks to all involved for a memorable time of worship and fellowship together!

Help us Change the World, One Light at a Time –
Pledge on-line today!! (then click on "Change a Light")
The LIC is striving to make a commitment to do our part to save energy and help fight global warming. We hope you will join our team & pledge to make your next light bulb or fixture one that's earned the government's ENERGY STAR® label for excellence in energy efficiency. Our goal is to get 100 people to pledge to change at least one light at home or work. Every ENERGY STAR qualified light bulb uses 75% less energy than a standard bulb, lasts up to 10 times longer and can save about $30 or more in energy costs — while preventing more than 400 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions over its lifetime. As of 2/29/08 we had four pledges. Please join the pledge effort! |

Annual Assembly Highlights:

The Board passed a constitutional amendment to expand membership possibilities in the LIC.
One of the main goals of this Annual Assembly was to examine the revised list of Priorities which the LIC members have developed and coordinate efforts to begin further implementation of those priorities. We are excited as we look forward with renewed vision!
