Hello to the LBC family and friends!
Greetings from San Jose! Christine, Eden, and I are coming to the end of our family vacation and it has been a wonderful week thus far meeting up with the San Jose church plant team. We had the opportunity to join them for their Sunday service this past weekend and the church is doing well. Everyone sends their greetings, of course!
Please continue to pray for the church plant as they continue on in their infancy. I’m sure things will start becoming more and more challenging for them as they get settled in and start having to adjust
to the new surroundings. Especially as things are significantly more expensive in San Jose than they are in San Diego, please pray that God would provide for them and help them in these early months.
In His grace,
Pastor Patrick
Announcements
- LBC Luau – The all-church annual Luau is this Saturday at 10:00am at Mission Bay. The cost for the event is $5/person and kids are free! Come out for a tropical themed day at the Bay! It’ll be a great time with good food, fun, and fellowship! Be sure to wear your Hawaiian gear. Also, if you would be interested in renting a jet ski (additional cost involved), please contact Abram Kim by Thursday at noon (abram.kim@gmail.com). We’ll also have a catamaran for anyone who wants to sail around the Bay (no additional cost). You won’t want to miss out! Hopefully we’ll see you all this Saturday.
- Friday Night Bible Studies – The college/singles joint Bible study continues this Friday at 7:00pm at the church. Come out as our very own Tim Yu opens up the Word for us. The youth will also be meeting this Friday at 7:00pm at the home of Joyce Park.
- Kids’ Club – Don’t forget that the summer Kids’ Club continues to meet on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm at the church. All children going into preschool through 5th grade are welcome to participate!

- FITS – We will be having our next Fun in the Sun Day on Sunday, August 22. This is just an informal time to enjoy the summer sun together as a church family! The youth ministry will be preparing lunch for the church for $5/adult and $3/child (ages 3-12).
- Vision Quest – We will be bringing back an old tradition on Friday, September 3 at 6:30pm at the church. Like in the days of old at LBC, we’ll be having a Vision Quest night. For those of you who don’t know what this is, it is a time for the church to come together, enjoy some fun together, and be reminded of the MVP. For this Vision Quest, we will be having a finger foods potluck and a music themed talent show. Bring a dish to share and if you have a song you would like to perform, whether singing or playing, please contact Pastor Patrick. Just for clarification: this is NOT a members only event. All are welcome to attend!

If you are interested in becoming a member at LBC or know of someone who might be interested, please contact Pastor Patrick for an application.
- Flocks – We are looking to start our monthly flocks in September if possible. If you would be interested in hosting a flock in your home, please contact Pastor Patrick and let him know as soon as possible. We also need to know how many people you would be able to host in your home (including kids!). Thanks!
