Halloween Par-tay!! 10/31

This week we were reminded to love one another, exemplifying selflessness and not selfishness. Paul exhorts not to put off doing this, but to show love NOW. It's what God expects of us and is the "fulfillment of the law." Are you showing the love today?

Next week, come dressed in your spookiest, funniest or most original costume and enjoy some Halloween festivities. Everyone will bring food and everyone will also sing (yes, there will be karaoke)! Hope to see you all next Tuesday! Ahn nyung hee ke se yo (do you know what language "goodbye" is in this week?)

Devotionals

I hope everyone is taking time each day to refocus on God and spend time in prayer and in His word. It is far too easy to get caught up in the day to day things we do and forget to spend some time with our Lord.

I like to read after the day is done, taking time to reflect on the day and letting the stress of the day melt away before sleep time and when I don't wake up too late, I like to pray in the mornings just after I get up to give thanks for another day.

I hope you are all keeping with your devotionals and don't feel bad if you haven't done it in a while. He doesn't want our guilt to keep us from meeting Him. Make today the day you start!

Small Group 10/24

At our last meeting we were taught the reasons why we should submit to governing authorities. Paul informs us that God gives this authority to governing figures. We should therefore be submissive because of this fact, as well as the simple fact of avoiding punishment. It is often easy to dismiss authority, especially when we feel that they are in the wrong, but even then we are to have "reverance" because God commands it. Reflect on that!

Next week, we will continue with our study of Romans. Sam and our newest chef Marina will provide the food and worship will be led by Justin. Until next time, sayonara!

Small Group 10/17 & Harvest Crusade

Welcome back everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful week and are well rested from the eventful weekend. Last we met, the question of "can we show unconditional love" was posed. There were arguments for both sides and it is still a discussion that is yet to be finished at our next Q&A session!! Sorry for the cliffhanger!

This weekend is Harvest Crusade. Continue to pray for this event and for those who may be seeking Christ that night. Also, are you interested in being a follow-up coordinator for LSCC? (This person will coordinate the congregation to follow-up with those who accepted Christ that night and to keep in contact with them). Pastor Josh can give you more details on this if you need any. Visit the website if you need any addtional info such as location, time, or which bands are playing!

At our next small group, chefs Justin and Gracie will do the honors and worship will be led by Ben. Until then, Bon Soir!
