LBCSD SPARK – October 7, 2015

by Pastor Patrick

Hello LBCSD family and friends!

I hope you are well and walking in the Lord! Fall is here! That means a lot is happening at the church. Bible studies are up and running, flocks are meeting again, Sunday School classes are being offered. It is a great time to get plugged in and involved in the life of the church. Please read through the ministry opportunities below to find out more about how you can be involved. Let’s keep participating in the service of the church and being a blessing to one another.

In His grace,

Pastor Patrick

Here are some ministry opportunities for your consideration! PLEASE READ THROUGH ALL OF IT

  1. Midweek Bible Studies. Lumos Youth, College Life, and Single Life all continue this week! Single Life meets on Wednesdays at 6:30pm. Lumos and College Life meet on Fridays at 7pm. Come out for a great time of teaching and fellowship!
  2. Grace Life. On Thursday, we will be having our Grace Life Orientation Night. Although we normally start at 6:30pm, this week we will get things started at 6pm for dinner. We will also have food for the LKC kids and staff. If you are planning to be part of Grace Life this year, please come out and learn more.
  3. Lighthouse Kids Club. If you would still like to register your child for LKC, please come on Thursday! The staff will have extra registration forms handy. The cost for LKC for the year is $50 ($40 for each additional child in the same immediate family).
  4. Mission Bowl. Mission Bowl practices begin this weekend for both the men’s and women’s flag football teams. If you would like to join the team, please contact Randy Tsuchiyama. This is a great way to get to know others in the church.
  5. Sunday School. Sunday School classes continue this Sunday during second hour. The classes being offered are: Biblical Counseling (Instructor: Josh Liu): Come learn about the basics of biblical counseling. Learn what the Bible says about our hearts. This is a ministry that all believers need to learn and participate in. Evangelism (Instructor: Roger Alcaraz): Learn to tell others about your faith! What is the gospel? How can we faithfully proclaim it to others? How you put your faith on display through your actions and speech is a good gauge of your own spiritual health. Fundamentals of the Faith (Min Kim and Peter Lim): This is our ongoing thirteen week class that walks through the basics of the Christian faith. Learn about basic theology and the principles that all believers should know and be committed to.
  6. All-Church Photo. We will be taking an all-church photo on Sunday, October 18, between the first and second hours at church. The picture will be taken in the parking lot in front of the church. We may ask some families to move their cars prior to taking the picture.
  7. Members Meeting. We will be having a members meeting on Sunday, October 18, from 4:45-8:15pm. All members are strongly encouraged to attend. As always, dinner will be served.
  8. Flocks. Don’t forget that Flocks signups are being taken in the foyer on Sundays. Flocks week will be on October 21-24. During that week, all our regularly scheduled midweek activities will be put on hold so that the church can gather in homes throughout the community for fellowship.
  9. Women’s Ministry Table for 6. The women will be having a Table for 6 fellowship event on Saturday, October 24, from 9am-12:30pm. Please RSVP with Mrs. Grace Lee by Friday, October 16. Please indicate your affinity group (i.e., Grace Life, Single Life, College Life, Lumos) with your RSVP.

If you would like to help plan our annual Fall Festival to make it AWESOME for our kids, please come to a brief planning meeting this Sunday, October 11, immediately after the Sunday School classes.
  11. All-Church Retreat. Our all-church retreat will focus on the theme “Knowing Christ.” Our speaker is Pastor Peter Kim from Berean Community Church. The retreat will be on November 6-8 at Pine Valley Bible Conference Center. More information about registration will be in the foyer on Sunday.
