WORSHIP & SERVICE
Lebanon Presbyterian Church is an family centered community of faith, that embraces our calling to be "reformed and ever reforming!" We're a caring, inclusive, worshiping fellowship of believers... and we'd love to have you and your family join us as we serve Christ in the Lafayette/Buffalo communities!
We gather for worship on 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month at 12:30 PM, Central Time. We offer monthly Holy Communion and have a children's time during every service. We also gather for quarterly covered-dish fellowships.
One of our favorite outreach ministries is the Presbyterian Home for Children in Talladega. We are most appreciative of the "Secure Dwellings" program, which allows parents, when appropriate, to remain in the home with their children. We feel this program embodies the true spirit of Jesus' words in Mathew 25:41-45 which reads: For I was hungry and you gave me no food; I was thirsty and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not welcome me; naked and your did not clothe me; sick and in prison and you did not visit me... "Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you?"... Truly, I say to you; as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.
