Discuss
The annual Dr. George W. Long Preaching Series was established
by the LMPC Session in 2001 to honor long-time pastor George
Long, who served at LMPC through a season of spiritual renewal in
the 1970s and 80s. It serves as an annual reminder of "our Savior's
faithful use of his holy Word in our midst."
This year's guest preacher is Rev. Harry Long, son of Katherine and
George Long. Harry is the organizing pastor and now senior pastor
at Sycamore Presbyterian Church in Midlothian, Virginia. Harry
will help us recall a very important part of Lookout Mountain
Presbyterian's history that laid the foundation for our present
emphasis on small group Bible study, prayer, and community. He
will be preaching at all morning worship services this coming
Sunday.
