Pastor’s Note 10/06/2023

I am delighted to have Pastor Bob Mentze back to LCPC to preach this Sunday. He continues with our series, Major Words from Minor Prophets. Pastor Bob will be talking about Jonah.

 

Also, I want to encourage you to participate in our upcoming 24-Hour Prayer Vigil on October 13 & 14. From 9am on Friday, October 13 – 9am on Saturday, October 14 as a church we will be praying for the various needs of our families, our neighbors, our community and the world. You can sign up as an individual or get together with a friend and sign up for a 30-minute time slot.

 

Prayer is simply a conversation with God, intimacy with the God that we call Father. Like a good Father, He wants us to come to Him with conversations of gratitude for who He is and expressing the needs that we have. Prayer is an expression of dependency upon God for all things knowing that He is in control of all things between heaven and the earth. Our prayer is that His will be done. We also will be providing a guide for how you may pray during that time.

 

So, find a friend and sign-up after church on Sundays or, if you are at home, call the church office and find a time to pray.

 



Pastor’s Note 09/21/2023

One of my favorite times each month is chapel with the children and teachers at our preschool. We gather in the church sanctuary and we sing a few songs, pray, and I share a story about Jesus. It is sweet because I love teaching the children that Jesus loves them and many times, this is the first time that the children are learning this about Jesus.

 

Our Preschool is an important part of our ministry to our community. It is the only faith-based preschool in Lakeside and we are glad that we can offer this ministry to families in the area. The small class sizes along with teachers that have been teaching at the Preschool for many years is a great opportunity for families that want to start their child’s education with a Christ based foundation.

 

If you know of a family that has preschool age children, tell them to take a look at our Preschool and encourage them to take a tour. It may just be the right fit for their family.

 

P.S. Over the next two month we are designating the proceeds from our SCRIP sales to the preschool as they prepare to paint and freshen up the Preschool’s bathrooms. There are over 200 different stores and restaurants that participate in this program, so check out what is available and help support our Preschool.
