Great Days

These are really exciting times at Lakeside. The new projectors and screens are ordered and they will make a huge difference during our worship services. The work on the Loft project in the Family Life Center (FLiC) is proceeding at breakneck speed. Some things are happening that will allow us to pay off the remaining debt of the church in just a few more weeks. We are evaluating designs and elements of the new church sign and will have the money in hand shortly to allow us to move ahead on that. The Catalyst School of Ministry begins next week and will begin to prepare people to actually use their Christianity where they live. There are more exciting things that will be announced in the coming weeks.

I was visiting with a friend of mine a couple of days ago and we were reflecting on how God has been faithful to His word. I mark June 2006 as being the time when, after going through a difficult transition time, we were behind on paying our bills, and our attendance and morale was low. Pastor Darren started us saying the confession of faith that we now do when receiving the offering. "My God will supply all of Lakeside's needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

He did, He is, and He will continue to bless. Let us never take it for granted. Let us all be grateful.
