by Pastor Patrick Cho
Dear LBC family and friends,
I hope you are doing well and walking in the Lord. Isn’t it good to be called children of God? Everyday, we are reminded of the effects of sin in our own lives and in the lives around us. Praise God that He offers us forgiveness through Jesus Christ our Lord! We have so much to be thankful for if we are in Christ. The benefits of our salvation are too numerous to count. And we rest assured that God is with us, He cares for us, and He will never abandon us. He truly is a wonderful Father. I want to encourage you to take some time today to consider the amazing goodness of God and to think about all you have to be thankful for (1 Thess. 5:18).
In His grace,
Pastor Patrick
Here are the announcements for this week:
- Flocks. Don’t forget that our monthly flocks meet this week in various homes around the community. For more information about flocks, please visit the website. If you don’t know which flock to attend, you can contact Cesar Vigil-Ruiz (jn316niv@gmail.com).
- Midweek Bible Studies. Because of flocks week, all our midweek Bible studies will be cancelled. This includes Lumos Youth, College Life, Single Life, and Kids’ Club.
- Sunday School. We will be taking a break from our regular Adult Sunday School classes this weekend. Instead, there will be a chance to get to know the elders of LBC a little better. We’ll be having an Elder Q&A in the sanctuary during the Sunday School hour. Regular Sunday School classes will resume next week (2/5).
- Parent/Child Dedication. For all you parents of small children, it isn’t too late to sign up to participate in this weekend’s Parent/Child Dedication. If you would like to participate, please email Pastor Patrick with your child’s full name and birthdate.
- Baptism Service. We will be having a baptism service this Sunday evening at 4:00pm at the church. Please note that this is a bit earlier than previous baptism services. There are several individuals who will be sharing their testimonies and professing their love for Christ, so please come out and support them!
- Sister Connection. Ladies, please don’t forget to sign up for Sister Connection, which is a great opportunity to fellowship with one another. College Life sisters will be paired up with a Single Life or Grace Life sister. If you would like to participate, please sign up with Lillian Kim (Grace Life), Janet Shih (Single Life), or Deborah Wong (College Life). You can also email sisterconnection@gmail.com to sign up. The last day to sign up is this Sunday.
(Editor’s Note: If you want an easy way to stay up-to-date with LBCevents, you can sync your calendar with any of the various church calendars that are available online).
