Dear LBCSD family and friends!

After weeks of being away and a summer full of traveling and ministry around the globe, it is great to finally be back in San Diego and to be settled at home. Thank you to everyone who prayed for me and Eugene Park as we ministered in Argentina these past couple weeks. It was a greatly encouraging time together with our brothers and sisters in Tucuman and San Justo. I’m looking forward to sharing more about that ministry this Sunday morning during service.

Needless to say, we really missed the church family during our time away, and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone’s lovely faces once again this weekend. What a wonderful God who saves us by His grace and calls us into fellowship together. Consider the awesome privilege it is to be called children of God (1 John 3:1).

In His grace,

Pastor Patrick

Here are some ministry opportunities for you to know!

2. Midweek Bible Studies. College Life and Lumos Youth meet this Friday evening at 7pm at the church. For more information on midweek Bible studies, visit the church website.
3. Czech Republic Missions Report Night. Please come out on Sunday evening at 5pm for our Czech Republic Missions Report Night.

Please find your best islander outfit and make plans to come out! The cost is only $5 for food (children 0-12 eat free!).
6. Flocks. Flocks will be starting up again later this month. This is a time each month that we shut down our regularly scheduled midweek activities and get together in homes around the community for worship, fellowship, and prayer. If you would like to help host a flock this year, please contact Pastor Patrick and let him know (pastorpatrick@gmail.com). Even if you hosted a flock last year, please contact Pastor Patrick and let him know you would like to host again. We need homes so please consider hosting.
7. FITS. On Sunday, September 27, we will be having our last Fun In The Sun day of the summer. Come out as we go to Torrey Hills Neighborhood Park to spend a day together as a church family. Lunch is $5/person (children 0-12 eat free!).
