Dear LBC family and friends!
The summer has just begun and seems like it is flying by already! I hope you are all enjoying the longer days and opportunities to fellowship together. During the summer, most of our regularly scheduled activities and Bible studies will be put on hold to give our staffs a little break. More information about this will come (if it has not already) from the various ministry coordinators. Sunday School will also be taking a break for the summer. Please take the extra time to spend with each other! What a great time to build relationships, practice the “one anothers,” and deepen the love and unity of the church. I pray that in this regard it would be a fruitful summer.
Please also remember that with the summer comes the departure of a good number of our college seniors. Please be a blessing to them as they have blessed us during their time in San Diego. We’ve already heard from several collegians in the past few Sundays, and we will be hearing from more as the weeks go on. Please pray that the Lord would continue to cause them to grow in faith and help them through their transitions.
In His grace,
Pastor Patrick
Here are some opportunities for ministry…
- Fun in the Sun Day. This Sunday will be kicking off our annual tradition of FITS! On the last Sunday of the month, we will be heading out to one of our local parks for some food and fellowship. This Sunday, we will be joined at Torrey Hills Neighborhood Park by Redeemer’s Grace Church! Be sure to bring your sports gear and sunscreen! Bring $5 for food (kids 0-12 eat free!). FITS will run from about 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
- Czech Republic Summer Mission. Please pray for our Czech Republic team as they depart on Tuesday, July 1 to minister overseas. The Lord has once again provided a tremendous opportunity to reach unbelievers for Christ and to come alongside and support a new church plant in the city of Beroun. Please pray that He would be gracious to allow the trip to be greatly successful. Also, there is still time to support the team financially if you would like. Support letters are available in the foyer at the church building with more information.
- Grace Life Equipping Seminar. The Grace Life equipping seminar originally scheduled for Saturday, July 5 has been cancelled. It will be rescheduled sometime in the upcoming year.
- Summer Bible Study. Beginning Wednesday, July 2, we will have a special summer Bible study for our collegians and singles led by Roger Alcaraz. Bible study will begin each Wednesday at 7:00 PM at the church. Come out for a great time of equipping and midweek fellowship.
