October 2009
This month, two very special events will be taking place for the Lakeside Baptist Church family. On Sunday, October 25th we will be holding our Fall Ingathering. This year’s Ingathering Offering will be designated for resurfacing our parking lot. It’s a big job, but it is one that needs to be done. Everyone in the church will benefit from the completion of this project. Please prayerfully consider what part you can do to make this Ingathering Offering a success.
This October’s dinner will be a potluck. The Deacon’s are asking every family to supply a main dish and either a salad/vegetable/side dish or a dessert. The Deacon’s will supply beverages for the meal.
Immediately after our Ingathering meal, the children will be dismissed for child care while our members gather for our Quarterly Business Meeting. This meeting is particularly important because the Constitution Committee will be presenting a motion to place the new constitution on the January ballot for a vote of affirmation. Copies of the updated constitution will be made available throughout the month of October.
As in the past, if you wish to express and ideas or concerns about the proposed constitution as presented, the Constitution Committee asks that you present your questions or ideas in writing so that there is no misunderstanding in what you are suggesting.
This business meeting is very important in that we are dealing with an issue that directly affects the governmental policies of Lakeside Baptist Church. The Constitution Committee has worked long and hard to be sure that the document they present is firmly based on biblical principles of church leadership and does not try to say more than necessary. It focuses on our articles of faith and a church covenant which speaks of our mutual commitment to each other in the Lord.
I anticipate October 25th to be a great day of rejoicing in our church’s life. Let’s serve our Faithful, Supreme, and Gracious Lord together throughout the month of October!
Seeking to Treasure Christ more and more with you,
Pastor Lew
