Pastor’s Note 05/21/2026

Memorial Day is the traditional start of summer and I am excited that we are about ready to purchase picnic tables for the memorial garden at LCPC so we can enjoy our newly renovated landscaping. These will be a great way to kick-off summer.

 

We are going to purchase 5 new picnic tables (which will include one that will be able to accommodate anyone that uses a wheelchair or a walker). The new tables will be great additions enhancing our patio area and encouraging conversations and building relationships with others across a table.

 

The tables will cost approximately $8,000 and I wanted to invite you to make a contribution to help with this purchase. Any amount, large or small, will help in getting these tables.

 

If you are able, make a check out to LCPC and on the memo line, designate it “picnic tables.” You can also use the new pew envelopes and check the “other” box, making a note that your donation is for picnic tables.

 

Thanks for considering making a donation and I am looking forward to enjoying a cup of coffee and having a conversation with you at the tables.

 



Pastor’s Note 05/14/2026

“Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

Mark 11:24-25

Have you signed up for the 24-hour Prayer Vigil yet? It begins on Saturday, May 23 at 9am and concludes on Pentecost Sunday, May 24 at 9am. It is a chance for us as a church to make a concerted effort to pray for our church, our community, and our world.

This Sunday at church you will find sign-up sheets for 30-minute time slots to pray, and more than one person can be praying during the same 30-minute time slot. You can also call the church office (or email Silvia office@lakesidepc.org) to sign-up for a time slot.

Also, we will have a prayer guide that you can use (if you would like), to help you pray. It is a way for us as a church family to come together united in pray and praying for God to impact our lives in Jesus’ name!

I hope that you will join us as we come to the Lord in prayer, knowing that the effective prayer of righteous people will impact our lives and our world.
