Lakeside Community Presbyterian Church

“The earth brought forth vegetation… trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw that it was good.”

Genesis 1:12

Have you walked around our newly landscaped church campus?

If you take a walk around all of the paths, from the front of the church, around to the memorial garden, through the breezeway, then around the granite path of our front lawn and back, you will have taken an easy 1/8-mile walk. On your walk, you can check out the various plants and trees that are flourishing after all of the recent rains.

There is still more work to be done on our church grounds. We need to purchase some picnic tables, umbrellas, and outdoor string-lights for the patio area so that we can enjoy the new setting in the years to come.

As I think back over the past few years I am reminded of God’s goodness. He has provided for us in so many ways, and the new landscaping is evidence of that. Thanks to all who have helped to make this happen and I am looking forward to what God has in store for us in the years ahead.

Have a great rest of the week.

Last Thursday morning’s rains brought a special blessing to LCPC. A rainbow settled right on top of the church’s sanctuary, and it was amazing to see the pictures (thanks Mark Tombazian). Now there wasn’t a pot of gold anywhere at church and no leprechauns were sighted but it does cause me to pause and think. Does God have something special for us to do?

My first thought is of course He does! He wants us to be blessing to Lakeside, and it comes as each of us lives out what we have been learning in our sermon series on the fruit of the Spirit. Each week we have learned about a different fruit that the Holy Spirit is developing within us. We as disciples of Jesus are to display love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in our lives and as we do this, we will be a blessing to the people that we encounter.

So, go and live out the fruit of the Spirit and be blessing to the people that you meet in your life.
