We are excited to have you all with us and look forward to meeting you all. Lost & Found Fellowship is a small group of Bible believing and teaching believers who seek to reach the lost and hurting within our community with the love and saving power of God in Jesus Christ. We endeavor to fulfill this mission through in-person services as well as online via our established social media platforms. Our Mission:

Representing God to the lost and found for transformation in Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

“In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” -Luke 15:10 (NIV)

Our Vision:

A place where the lost become found and made new in Christ

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” -2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)

Scripture of the Day

“Listen to me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from before your birth, carried from the womb; even to your old age I am he, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save."
Isaiah 46:3-4 (ESV)

Devotional: Carried All the Way to Gray Hairs

In Isaiah 46, God draws a striking contrast. The idols of Babylon had to be loaded onto carts and hauled around by weary animals, gods that had to be carried. But the living God says to His people, "I carry you." He has done it from before birth, and He promises to keep doing it "even to your old age… to gray hairs."

Our culture often treats getting older as something to hide or fear. Bodies slow down, memories blur, independence fades, and many people quietly wonder whether they still matter. Scripture speaks differently. Gray hair is called "a crown of glory" (Proverbs 16:31), and the righteous "still bear fruit in old age" (Psalm 92:14). In God's eyes, the later years are not a footnote, they are a season of fruitfulness, wisdom, and testimony.

Notice the repetition in verse 4: I have made, I will bear, I will carry, I will save. The weight rests on Him, not us. Whether you are young and already worried about the future, in the middle years caring for aging parents, or living in your own later years, the promise is the same: the God who held you at the beginning will not set you down at the end.

For a small church family like ours, this is also a calling. Honor the older saints among us, ask for their stories, learn from their faithfulness, and make sure no one ages alone or unseen. And if you are one of those older saints, hear this clearly: your prayers, your wisdom, and your example are still a gift to this fellowship.

Faithful Father, thank You that You have carried me from the very beginning and promise to carry me to the very end. Quiet my fears about growing older. Help me honor those who have walked with You longer than I have, and let every season of my life bear fruit for Your glory. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Who is an older believer whose faith has shaped yours? Consider reaching out to thank them this week.

Scripture of the Day

“But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep."
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 (ESV)

Devotional: Grieving with Hope

Notice what Paul does not say here. He doesn't tell the Thessalonians, "Don't grieve." He says, "Don't grieve as others do who have no hope." Scripture never asks us to pretend that loss doesn't hurt. Jesus Himself stood at the tomb of His friend Lazarus and wept, even knowing He was about to raise him. Tears at a graveside are not a lack of faith, they are the honest response of love to the reality of death.But Christian grief has a different shape. Paul even chooses a gentle word for those who have died in Christ: they are asleep. Sleep is not the end of a story; it's a pause before morning. The reason is not wishful thinking but a historical fact: Jesus died and rose again. Because His tomb is empty, the graves of His people are only temporary resting places. The same God who brought Jesus out of death will bring them with Him.Many of us carry an empty chair at the table, a parent, a spouse, a child, a dear friend. Some of that grief is fresh; some of it surprises us years later on a birthday or a holiday. Hope doesn't erase the ache, but it gives the ache somewhere to go. We can miss them deeply and look forward confidently, because the separation is real but not final.This also shapes how we care for one another. Grieving people rarely need clever answers; they need presence, patience, and gentle reminders of the hope we share. If someone in our fellowship is walking through loss this season, a card, a meal, or simply saying their loved one's name can be a holy gift. Paul ends this passage with an instruction we can all follow: "Therefore encourage one another with these words" (v. 18).

Father, thank You that death does not have the last word for those who belong to Jesus. Comfort every heart that is grieving today. Let our tears be honest and our hope be steady, and help us to sit with one another in sorrow while pointing to the resurrection morning. In Jesus' name, Amen.

To Our Anonymous Giver: THANK YOU!

Today UPS pulled up and dropped off a surprise for Lost & Found Fellowship. It wasn't one subwoofer. It was TWO brand-new 2,500-watt Alto Professional subwoofers!

There was no name and no note. Someone just quietly blessed this church, and we're blown away.

These subwoofers will give our worship a sound we've never had before. You'll feel the praise on Sundays! Every song sung and every word preached is partly thanks to you.

Jesus said it best:

"But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you." (Matthew 6:3–4, ESV)
If you want to stay anonymous, we completely honor that. God saw it, and that's what matters most.

But if you'd like to take credit, please let us know! We'd love to thank you personally (and maybe give you a big hug 😄). Message us or catch Pastor Wayne anytime.

Whoever you are: thank you for loving this church so generously. We're praying God blesses you back the way you blessed us.

With grateful hearts,
Lost & Found Fellowship ❤️

Scripture of the Day

“Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. … Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."
Matthew 24:42, 44 (ESV)

Devotional — Keep the Porch Light On

Jesus spoke plainly: He is coming back. Not as a vague idea or a poetic hope, but as a real event on a real day that God has already set on His calendar. And yet, in the same breath, He told us we won't know when. That combination, certainty about the what and mystery about the when, is exactly what's meant to shape how we live today.

Think of a family waiting for someone they love to come home from a long trip. They don't know the exact hour the car will pull in, so they keep the porch light on. The house stays tidy enough, the door stays unlocked, and every set of headlights makes someone glance out the window. That isn't anxiety, it's love with its eyes open. That's the kind of "staying awake" Jesus is describing.

Notice what Jesus does not ask of us. He doesn't ask us to calculate dates, decode headlines, or live in fear. In the verses that follow, the "faithful and wise servant" is simply the one found doing his master's work when the master arrives (Matthew 24:45-46). Readiness looks ordinary: loving your family well, telling the truth at work, making the phone call you've been putting off, getting right with God and with others today rather than "someday."

The danger Jesus warns about is drift, the slow assumption that there's always more time, so faithfulness can wait. But the promise of His return is meant to wake us up gently, not scare us. For those who belong to Him, His coming isn't a threat; it's a homecoming. The One who is coming is the same One who died for us and rose again.

So today, ask a simple question: If Jesus came back this afternoon, what would I be glad He found me doing? Then go do a little more of that.

Lord Jesus, thank You that You are coming again. Keep my heart awake and my hands busy with the work You've given me. Free me from fear and from careless drifting, and let me live today as someone who is glad to see You come. Amen.

Scripture of the Day

"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him."
James 1:5 (ESV)

Devotional — Ask the Generous Giver

We all face moments when we simply don't know what to do. A hard conversation, a decision about work or family, a situation with no clear right answer. In those moments it's tempting to carry the weight alone, to think harder, worry longer, and hope we figure it out.

James offers a simpler path: ask God. And notice how he describes the One we're asking. God gives generously. He gives to all. And He gives without reproach, He doesn't scold us for not knowing, or make us feel foolish for needing help. He is not a reluctant teacher sighing at our questions; He is a Father who delights to guide His children.

Wisdom from God doesn't always arrive as a lightning bolt. Often it comes quietly, through His Word, through the counsel of a trusted brother or sister, through a settled peace about the next small step. Our part is to ask honestly and to trust that He hears.

Whatever you're facing today, you don't have to have it all figured out. Bring it to Him. He has promised that wisdom will be given.

Father, thank You that You never tire of my questions. Where I lack wisdom today, give it generously. Help me listen for Your voice and walk in the next step You show me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
