Spiritual Adoption Campaign

  

Happy Feast of St. Valentine!  In last Friday's blog we had mentioned there was a lot of exciting things transpiring here at the office. Starting today at 12pm we will be kicking off our Spiritual Adoption Campaign. 

What is a Spiritual Adoption?

   Spiritual Adoption is when we commit to pray daily for a baby that is in danger of being aborted. The prayer we will send you is short and sweet. You'll have it memorized the first week!

What's this particular Spiritual adoption all about?

    First, there is no cost involved. This campaign is about the power of prayer.
It is estimated that 1.37 million babies will be aborted in the United States in 2012. Our goal with this campaign is to have a minimum of 1.37 million babies being prayed for from March- December.This campaign We will be praying also for the baby's parents and for a safe delivery. The beauty of spiritually adopting a baby is it could potentially save the life of the baby!

    We invite you to join us in the this 9 month Spiritual Adoption of a baby that is in danger of being aborted this year.
    Your prayers united with thousands of others is going to be powerful! The Spiritual Campaign kick off is February 14, 2012(today!) and our official starting date is March 26th, 2012. From March 26th ( The Annunciation) to December 25th(Jesus' birthday) we will all be praying together for the baby we have adopted. We have some amazing resources to share with you over the next nine months that will enrich your life.

TODAY from 12pm-1pm Brian, Terry, and Nicol will be live on WQOP talking about the Spiritual Adoption Campaign and also updates on Skiff and AJ's Fantastic Voyage. We invite you to call in and spiritually adopt a baby, we would also love to hear from you!

May the love of our Lord Jesus fill your heart and cause you to spread His love to those who are in need of love today! Pictures later today! ~Lumen Crew

Happy Belated Epiphany

HAPPY EPIPHANY

   We realize we are little late wishing everyone a Happy Epiphany. With it being an important feast day, we left early to be able to go to Epiphany parties that were scheduled for early evening. We had a wonderful day, filled with cleaning, 3 generations in the office, Cuban coffee, and a packed office! We pray you had a great Epiphany and remembered our Lord!

Brian's Grandmother-Mimi came to visit

Help!

Happy 2nd Week of Advent!

    We pray you had a great weekend! How is your Advent Fast coming? So far so good on our end here! Such a great way to help prepare for our Savior's birth! :)

     It's been a quiet day here, but extremely busy! Brian is working hard on the lighting and talking with the animators and Nicol is working on the mailing for our Final Push match. There is no more folding that needs to be done, but there is alphabetizing and stuffing of 2,000 letters that needs to be completed.

   This is a picture of majority of the letters that are sorted by letter and will then need to be alphabetized. As you can see, Nicol is in desperate need of volunteering from people! What still needs to be done? Alphabetize the letters in each alphabet letter, alphabetize the envelopes, stuffing of the envelopes, and mail them out. It has to be down all by the end of this week! So who wants to help us out?!?!?! Anybody, please! If you are able to come on up and help, you can email us at info@lumen.tv. We appreciate your support!

The Well

    How did keeping it simple go this past week?  Today's blog is inspired from Nicol attending the Casting Crowns Come to the Well tour on Thursday November 17,2011. Here are her thoughts...

My brother and I were blessed to receive last minute tickets to see Casting Crowns, The Afters, Sanctus Real, and Lindsay McCaul last Thursday. While we were at the concert, the lead singer from Casting Crowns explained why the tour and their latest album is called Come to the Well.

       

       He said, one day while in prayer he had re-read the story about the Samaritan Woman at the Well(John 4). The Samaritan woman and Jesus were both talking about water, but the type of water was where they were differed. God began to show Mark(the lead singer)  we are all like the Samaritan woman, we go to different "wells" to be "filled up." What are the different wells? It could be where we draw our identity based upon what others think about us or we get "filled up" by our jobs. The list could go on and on. We often turn to these wells to fill a place that was only meant for one "well," Jesus Christ. He is our living water, He is the well that is always overflowing and giving us our identity. When we draw from other people or things we end up dry and searching for more, but when we draw from Jesus we are never empty. It is that simple.

    

It doesn't matter where you are on your faith journey, this is a message we need to be reminded of. Mark is right, it is that simple. When I heard him say the word simple, it made me think of our blog we wrote a week ago and how much the message tied in with our blog. As we head into Thanksgiving, it is easy to get caught up in preparing for the big day and making sure everything is just right. Let us all remember to keep things simple with our prayer life and preparation for Thanksgiving day.

Speaking of Thanksgiving weekend, it is also the start of Advent! Don't forget to visit our good friends at Holy Heroes and The Altar Gang for great ideas to help teach your children or relatives about Advent.

Have a blessed and wonderful Monday! ~Lumen Crew

Film Camp Video

Happy Wednesday! 


 We are excited to share with you our Summer 2011 Film Camp video! We are now on Vimeo. Check out our page at http://www.vimeo.com/lumenentertainment. Let us know what your thoughts. We hope you enjoy it!


Other news:
  We are asking for everyone's prayers right now. The restaurant we work above may have to fine a new place to relocate. With that said that means Lumen Entertainment will have to find a new home. Our preference is not to move, but we are fully trusting in God's will for us and for the restaurant. We ask that you keep the owner Benoit and his restaurant The Magnificat in your prayers. We are staying very prayerful and have expectant faith, but in the end we know God's will is better than ours and He will provide. Thank you for all of your support!


Scripture for the Week
Romans 8:28 " We know that all things work together for good for those who love God..."


Let us Praise the Lord for it being half through the week and for all the blessings He has given us. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and The Immaculate Heart of Mary Pray for us!
