The purpose of the Love of Christ Lutheran Church Resource Center is to contribute to the enrichment of the congregation by providing a well-rounded stock of books, videos, DVDs and CDs for all ages and stages of Christian development.
The Love of Christ Lutheran Church Library seeks to provide resources which:
*Strengthen the educational ministry of our church
*Deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ
*Support Christian families in their life together
*Encourage growth in the faith for all ages.
*Provide moral entertainment materials
When and where:
The Resource Center is open when the church is and it is located in the Education wing in Abraham room 11.
Needs:
There are always things to do in the Resource Center. People with different kinds of experience, interests, and gifts are needed. Some duties in the Resource Center include, inventorying new and donated items, re-shelving returned items, advertising and promotion, ordering new items, etc. If, through prayer, you feel led to be a part of the Resource Center Team, we warmly welcome you.
Donations and 'weeding':
Donations of materials considered useful by donators to share with others are gratefully accepted. These items should be in good taste, good condition, and show only normal use. Items that you wish to be acknowledged as the donator will be labeled accordingly. Let a Resource Team Member know these wishes and if you wish these items returned to you rather than weeded at the discretion of the resource team members.
Monetary donations can be made at the church office. Please indicate that you want the money to go to the Resource Center.
Materials will be periodically weeded from our Resource Center. They may be forwarded to other praiseworthy organizations or used in a future book sale for a fund raiser. Materials that are deemed too worn or inept for further use will be decided by the Resource Team Members.
