Lakeside Community Presbyterian Church

This Sunday, February 2, we will be sharing in the Lord’s Supper, also known as Communion. It is on the first Sunday of every month that we as a church family partake of this Sacrament of the church. It is a reminder of what Christ did on the cross for us, “His Body Broken, His Blood Shed” and the sacrifice of “The Lamb of God” for our sins. But more than just a reminder of what Jesus did, in some mysterious way, it is a nourishing meal that sustains us for our journey in Christ as His disciples. It is also a foretaste of the heavenly banquet that Christ is preparing. I know it is something that I look forward to sharing with all of you.

I also know that many of you are not able to attend in-person at our Sunday service. Some of you are homebound, others of you are not available for a variety of reason, but I want to encourage you to participate in the Lord’s Supper in your home. If you would like, I can come and serve you communion at your home or one of our Elders or Deacons can also do that. We also can make available the communion elements for you to participate as you watch from home during the live stream of the service.

Partaking of the Lord’s Supper is a special part of being a church family. We at LCPC want all that claim Jesus as Lord and are a part of our church, to be able to participate in this important aspect of being a disciple of Jesus.

So, I hope to see you on Sunday or if you can’t make in person, watch on-line and let me know if you would like communion brought to you at your home.

Let’s be the Body of Christ as together we remember the meal that Christ has prepared for us.

For the past few weeks, we have been exploring how we can find Godly wisdom. The Scriptures, prayer, and spiritually wise people are good ways to discover God’s wisdom but the best way to gain wisdom from God is to know Jesus and the best way know Jesus is to know His stories.

So, this week, at our Sunday worship service, we are going to learn about Jesus’ stories, His parables. Each of them points us to God and tell us a bit about God’s kingdom.

I hope that you can join us in person or online as we look at God’s Kingdom Stories.

Have a great rest of the week.

Let me ask, are you reading a chapter a day in the Book of Proverbs?

Last week, I gave the challenge for each of us to read a chapter from the book of Proverbs that corresponded to that day of the month. Do this on a regular basis is a good habit, or a spiritual discipline that will get us into God’s Word as we seek to be wise followers of Christ. Don’t worry if you haven’t been reading or that you forgot certain days. You can easily pick up reading any day of the week.

This week as we continue our sermon series “In Search of Wisdom” we come to a simple task, If you want wisdom, you need to ask God for it. But that simple task seems to elude us, especially when we come to difficult and painful circumstances.

Hope that you will join us this Sunday as we continue our sermon series on Godly wisdom.

Have a great rest of the week.
