LBCSD SPARK – September 26, 2016

by Pastor Patrick Cho

Dear LBCSD family and friends!

I hope you have enjoyed a wonderful week full of the Lord’s grace and mercy. September is winding down, which means fall is upon us! That also means that all of the ministries that took a break for the summer will be back in full force. There is a lot going on in the coming months, so please take some time to read through the ministry opportunities below. How exciting to grow together in the grace of God and the knowledge of the truth!

In His grace,

Pastor Patrick

Here are the ministry opportunities for you to consider:

  • All-Church Photo. We will be taking our annual all-church photo on Sunday, October 23, immediately following the morning worship service. Be sure to mark your calendars!
  • Membership Class. Our next membership class will be on Saturday, October 29, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and Sunday, October 30, from 2:00 to 5:00 PM. Attendance at both sessions is mandatory. If you are interested in becoming a member of LBCSD, please contact Pastor Patrick for an application.
  • DTR Series. DTR stands for Defining the Relationship. For three Sunday evenings in October, we will be walking through the theme of dating and relationships (October 9, 23, 30). The evening services will run from 6:30-8:30 PM.
  • All-Church Retreat. Our annual all-church retreat is coming up on November 4-6. Our speaker is Dr. John Street of The Master’s University. Registration is being taken by Cesar Vigil-Ruiz in the foyer on Sundays. The cost is $150/adult and $75/child (ages 3-12). There is a $450/family max. There really is no substitute for the all-church retreat in terms of having a concentrated time to spend with the church family over several days.
  • Grace Life Ministry. Grace Life is restructuring its ministry this year, and we want to communicate with all the families about the changes. As such, we will have a special orientation night on Thursday, October 6, from 6:30-8:00 PM. Light refreshments will be served!
  • Lighthouse Kids Club. Registration is now open for LKC! This is our midweek children’s program for kids ages 5 through 5th grade. This year, our theme is “Rotten or Ripe” as we will examine the topic of spiritual fruit and walk through Galatians 5:22-23. LKC meets on Thursdays from 6:30-8:00 PM beginning on October 6. This year, we’re happy to offer registration at no cost! Please see Ashley Hur in the foyer on Sunday to register.
