LBC SPARK – September 1, 2015

by Pastor Patrick Cho

Dear LBCSD family and friends!

After weeks of being away and a summer full of traveling and ministry around the globe, it is great to finally be back in San Diego and to be settled at home. Thank you to everyone who prayed for me and Eugene Park as we ministered in Argentina these past couple weeks. It was a greatly encouraging time together with our brothers and sisters in Tucuman and San Justo. I’m looking forward to sharing more about that ministry this Sunday morning during service.

Needless to say, we really missed the church family during our time away, and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone’s lovely faces once again this weekend. What a wonderful God who saves us by His grace and calls us into fellowship together. Consider the awesome privilege it is to be called children of God (1 John 3:1).

In His grace,

Pastor Patrick

Here are some ministry opportunities for you to know!

  1. Lighthouse Kids’ Club. If you are interested in serving on LKC staff this year, please come to an interest meeting this Thursday at 7pm at the church building. Let’s work together to make this an awesome year for our kids!
  2. Midweek Bible Studies. College Life and Lumos Youth meet this Friday evening at 7pm at the church. For more information on midweek Bible studies, visit the church website.
  3. Czech Republic Missions Report Night. Please come out on Sunday evening at 5pm for our Czech Republic Missions Report Night. Hear what the Lord is doing on the other side of the world through the missionaries and church in Beroun. The team had a wonderful time of ministry there in July and are eager to tell you more! Dinner will be served. The cost is free!
  4. MNV. Don’t forget that Monday Night Volleyball will run until the end of September. It’s not too late to come out and enjoy some fun in the sun. We meet at around 5:45pm at La Jolla Shores by the sand volleyball courts on the north side.
  5. Luau. Aloha! On Saturday, September 12, we will be having our annual all-church luau! We’ll be at Mission Bay from 10am-4pm. This is always a highlight of our year and a great time together. Please find your best islander outfit and make plans to come out! The cost is only $5 for food (children 0-12 eat free!).
  6. Flocks. Flocks will be starting up again later this month. This is a time each month that we shut down our regularly scheduled midweek activities and get together in homes around the community for worship, fellowship, and prayer. If you would like to help host a flock this year, please contact Pastor Patrick and let him know (pastorpatrick@gmail.com). Even if you hosted a flock last year, please contact Pastor Patrick and let him know you would like to host again. We need homes so please consider hosting.
  7. FITS. On Sunday, September 27, we will be having our last Fun In The Sun day of the summer. Come out as we go to Torrey Hills Neighborhood Park to spend a day together as a church family. Lunch is $5/person (children 0-12 eat free!).
