Dear LBCSD family and friends!

I hope you are doing well and walking in the Lord. As always, there is a lot going on at the church during the fall and winter season! Please read through the opportunities below to get further plugged into the church and to grow with one another in Christ. There are many things going on to help facilitate our fellowship and to serve one another.

In His grace,

Pastor Patrick

Here are some ministry opportunities for your consideration!

1. Midweek Bible Studies. Grace Life Family Ministry meets on Thursdays from 6:30-8:00 PM! This Thursday, our LADIES will meet for Bible study in Room 108. Please come having completed the assignment for Lesson 1 and having memorized the Scripture passage. If you would like more information about Grace Life, please contact Pastor Patrick (pastorpatrick@gmail.com) or Christine Cho (christinescho@gmail.com). College Life and Lumos Youth meet on Fridays at 7:00 PM. All Bible studies meet at the church. Visit the church website for more information.
2. Lighthouse Kids Club. LKC continues to meet this Thursday from 6:30-8:00 PM. It’s not too late to register your child (ages 5 to fifth grade). Visit the welcoming table on Thursday for a registration form. Contact Pastor Patrick if you have any questions or require more information. See the church calendar for the complete LKC schedule for 2015-2016.
3. All-Church Retreat. Registration is now closed for our All-Church Retreat, but if you are a member and not planning to go to retreat and plan to be at LBC on Sunday, November 8, please contact Pastor Patrick (pastorpatrick@gmail.com). We could use some help to conduct that Sunday morning worship service.
4. Fall Festival. Our annual Fall Festival is this Saturday, October 31, from 5:00-8:00 PM. Come out and bring the kids for a night full of great fun! Everyone from the church is invited to participate. Please bring your friends as well! The cost is only $5/adult (children 0-12 and first time guests are free!). There will be plenty of games and food for all. You are also encouraged to dress up in a costume, but please don’t come dressed as anything scary or promoting evil. Costumes should be church appropriate. If you are wondering whether your costume is appropriate or not, maybe wear something else. But there will be prizes for the best costumes, so be creative!
5. Communion. We will be taking communion this Sunday so please prepare your heart for that time!
6. Baptism Class. Baptism is an ordinance commanded by our Lord. If you have not yet been baptized as a believer in obedience to Scripture, please make plans to come to our baptism class. Because of some people’s scheduling conflicts, we will be offering two baptism classes on Tuesday, November 3 and Wednesday, November 4. Both classes will begin at 7:00 PM and will be at the church. You DO NOT need to attend both.
7. Baptism Service. The baptism service will be on Sunday, November 15, at 4:30 PM. Come out and hear the testimonies of those who will be baptized!
8. All-Church Thanksgiving Potluck. We will be having our annual Thanksgiving potluck on Sunday, November 22, at 5:00 PM. More information will be forthcoming! Please mark your calendars!
9. Christmas Concert. If you are interested in performing in this year’s Christmas Concert, please contact Eugene Park for more information (e1park@gmail.com). The Christmas Concert will be on Saturday, December 12.
