Hello LBC friends and family!
I hope you are having a great week and are walking in the Lord! For those of you who attended the All-Church Retreat, I want to encourage you to take some time this week to review your notes and think about all that we were taught by Dr. Ernie Baker. What an awesome weekend it was! I hope you found the messages to be helpful for your own growth and spiritual development. For those who weren’t able to attend the retreat, if you have the chance, please go online when the messages are available and listen to the audio. I know it will be a great help to you!
(Editor’s Note: The messages do not appear to be online at this time. When they are posted, I will provide links for them.)
This week, we’re getting back into the our regular routine. but I wanted to send you some ministry opportunities so that you know what is going on and how you can get involved.
In His grace,
Pastor Patrick
