Lakeside Community Presbyterian Church

November is known as the month that we give thanks.

Every year in our nation we pause on Thanksgiving Day, gather around tables with family and friends to give thanks for what we have. Those gatherings may be times where we are thankful for the many blessings that we have experienced, or they may be times when the blessings have been few and far between, but in either case, we give thanks. As people of faith we know that God is with us in both good and difficult times but still we give thanks.

As this month unfolds, I want to say thanks to each of you who call LCPC their family of faith. Thank you for your generous gifts both large and small for they help sustain and move this ministry forward as we seek to be Christ’s light in our community and in our world. You have been faithful in so many ways, generously giving of your time, talent and treasures.

Thank you!

Over the past weeks, during our Sunday morning services, we have been studying and learning from the great prayers of the Old Testament observing and gleaning information on how to pray from heroes like Abraham, Moses, Hannah, David, Solomon and Hezekiah. One of the things that I have learned is that God wants to hear our prayers. His desire is to be in relationship with us and so He wants to hear from us. That conversation is prayer.

This Friday and Saturday, November 1 & 2, we as a church are having conversations with our God. We are going to pray to God about our family and friends, our community and our nation and our world and our church.

Our 24-Hour prayer Vigil starts on Friday at 9am and continues until 9am on Saturday. We are concluding our Vigil with a Prayer Breakfast at 9am followed by praying and putting together the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes.

So, would you join us in prayer? Whether you signed-up or not, you can pray. A separate eBlast will give you the details on how you might pray at home but let’s together pray to our sovereign God, whose love overflows to us as we humbly come to Him.
