Q&A, Prayer, Worship Night!! 10/3

Sorry for the late post, but here is a recap of the previous week as well as things to come:

Last week we learned that the blueprint for the body of Christ is the church. As a church, we are to be "absorbed in love" and to be "attached by good." We are also reminded that this love is to be genuine, giving each other the "VIP" treatment. So as you finish this week, remember to share the love!

So who is sore from broomball? I sure am! Thanks to all who came out and participated. Hopefully the bruises will heal quickly.

Next week we will have a special bible study. It will be a Q&A, prayer, and worship night! Bring your questions, guitars, and prayer requests for just a good time of fellowship.

Hope to see you all next week. Aloha!

Small Group 9/26 & Broomball 9/29

In this week's bible study, Paul reminded us that as members of the body (of Christ) we are to use are spiritual gifts accordingly. We are also reminded to be humble and not boast about our gifts as God has graced us each individually with a function to further His kingdom. Do you know what your spritual gift (or gifts) is? Find out here and be prepared to share next week!

This coming week will be double fun!!! We will have our regularly scheduled bible study on Tuesday. Dinner will be provided by chefs Jeff and Tak and worship will be led by Ben. We will also have a joint small group activity. Are you ready for some broomball?!?!? Here are the details:

Dinner (optional)- Rubio's in Fremont AutoMall @ 8pm

On a special Tuesday evening, bible study started with tasty enchiladas prepared by chef Sam (recipe provided by chef Kiki). Worship was beautifully led by Justin. And as Jeff guided us through Romans 12:1-2, we learned to be a "living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God." The night ended with the sendoff of two wonderful members, Cynthia and Steve. Our prayers will continually be with them as they transition into the next chapter of their spiritual journey. Don't forget us!

Next week, there will be a quiz on this memory verse: Romans 11:36. Learn it, love it, live it! Will and Paul will feed us and Justin will lead us in worship. Harvest Crusade is less than a month away. Visit the website or contact Gracie for more info! Also, check out the updated LSCC website for upcoming church events, bible studies, and prayer requests.

That's all for now. Hasta luego!

With our appetites satisfied by pitas and pie (thanks Justin and Gracie), we continued our study of Romans. What seemed like a lesson in cultivation was in fact a message of hope. The "branches of Israel" were broken off so that the "Gentile branches" could be grafted onto the olive tree. But Paul points out that if Israel discontinues their walk of disbelief and takes on a walk of faith, they can also be grafted back on to that same tree. Ultimately, God shows kindness and mercy to all by faith. For a possible pop quiz in two weeks, memorize Romans 11:36.

Next week, dinner will be provided by Sam and Kiki, worship will be led by Justin. Harvest Crusade is quickly approaching (Oct. 13-15) so continue to pray for those whom you would like to invite. Contact Gracie if you are interested in ushering or singing in the choir for this event.

See ya'll next week!
