To the LBC family!
I hope that you are having a wonderful week in the Lord and that you are growing in the grace and truth that you have been given. Just wanted to send a few reminders and updates about what is going on at Lighthouse.

- Grace Life – the activity that was originally scheduled for this Saturday at the park has been cancelled.
- Friday Bible studies will be held this Friday. Youth at 7pm, College at 7pm at UCSD, and Singles at 7pm in the sanctuary.
- Members Meeting this Sunday, January 31 at 4:45pm. All members are asked to attend. Dinner will be provided!

- College Life Winter Retreat early bird signups end February 7. Signup with Randy Tsuchiyama or Ryan Short. Early bird price is $120, after February 7 it will go up to $135.
- Super Bowl Potluck Party on Sunday, February 7 at the home of Peter and Jinny Lim. It will start at 3pm – please bring a dish to share – all are welcome, even if you are not into football.
This Sunday’s sermon will be on John chapter 5 so it you would like to start preparing to hear the message (think delicious portion of Scripture), you can start reading the whole chapter as we will be discussing the authority of Jesus.
I have been greatly encouraged to hear from many of you that you have been taking to heart the exhortation to prepare for the hearing of God’s Word as well as to pray for me in my sermon preparation. I am hopeful that you will truly grow and be challenged in your walk with God to mature and become more useful for the sake of the Kingdom. For those who were not hear to hear the messages on “How to Go to Church”, go to the website and download the two messages from January 10 and January 17.
For those who were not here this past Sunday, we went over the State of the Church address and I presented the theme for the year “Until the Whole World Hears” as we prepare for the San Jose church plant. If you were not here this past Sunday, I would encourage you to download that message as well so that you can be on the same page with everyone as we seek God’s direction and guidance in moving forward to a year that will be filled with a lot of transitions and change.
Lastly, I would like to give a plug for our online newsletter, the Beacon. The staff has been working hard to have weekly articles posted and I think it would be a great source of encouragement as well as
learning if you take advantage of it. So head over to http://www.lighthousebc.com/beacon/ and check it out!
Have a wonderful rest of the week and I look forward to seeing you all this weekend!
Until the whole world hears,
Pastor John
