A Message from Pastor Jim |
|
Greetings Lake Deaton Family and Friends,
As we continue to return to a new type of normal, after this long season of COVID, I find that it is a time when many people are looking for ways to connect and get back into society. This becomes a great opportunity for a couple of things.
First, this is a great time for each of us to find new places to serve within our church and out of our church towards the community. I invite you to spend time on our website in the “Serve” section looking at ways you can find to serve.
Secondly, this becomes a great time to invite people into community. Each of us have friends who are looking for ways to connect with other people and worship is a great place to invite them to find other people to connect with. I encourage you to invite people for both the in-person worship as well as the online worship.
These two simple things; finding new places to serve and inviting people into community can have a great impact on our community and my prayer is that we will each step forward to the challenge God is giving before us.
Blessings,

A Conference for Finding Purpose and Renewal in the Second Half of Life

Theme: Living Abundantly in the Second Half of Life

How do we navigate transitions, live into our talents and passions, cultivate our relationship with Christ, engage topics that matter with courage and conviction, and care for our loved ones struggling with memory loss? In this conference, we’ll hear world-class speakers and leaders address these topics and more as we seek to live abundantly in the second half of life.
Stop by the church office for more information or to pick up a registration form. Cost is $580-$622 for a single or $814-$842 for a double, price includes hotel, 8 meals and all programing.

Do you have an extra STUDY Bible sitting on your shelf that you don't need any more? STUDY Bibles are the #1 request I get from women in prison. While Bibles are plentiful, STUDY Bibles are harder to find, but they can make a big difference in helping women understand and grow in Christ through their devotional times. If you have a extra study Bible you would be willing to donate, please bring it to the church with a note that it is for THE OASIS? I will pick it up. Thank you so much for being a blessing! Pastor Kris
