Last Week’s Sermon -  If you missed last Sunday’s sermon that Pastor Chris shared, titled “The Utter Relief of Forgiveness,” you can watch it here.

Help Us Discern God’s Vision for LWC –   This fall we will be engaged  in a congregation-wide vision discernment process. The first step in the process is listening to God and to each other. Be on the lookout for an invitation to sign up for one of our Vision Focus Groups. These small groups of 15-20 people will be invited to invest 75 minutes together in answering 5 questions about our church. The thoughts, insights, and hopes that you share in these groups will be an important part of the vision discernment process, so we want every person who attends LWC to participate. Sign-ups for the Vision Focus Groups will be available beginning in early August. Let’s be prayerful as we seek God’s direction for LWC!

Baby Bottle Fundraiser – Baby bottles for the Pregnancy Help Center are going to be collected Sunday August 9th and 16th.  The goal is to reach or exceed $30 per bottle and they accept donations of cash, check, or credits cards (online here). Click here to find out more information about the center. There are still some bottles left on the table in the back of the sanctuary or you can stop in to or call the office to find out how you can participate or to pick up a bottle. 

Pray for Schools -  Join us in lifting up all teachers, school administrators, children, and parents as they prepare to go back to school next week in unknown and unprecedented times.  

Safety Plan –   In light of the governor's announcement this week regarding the state-wide mandate for masks to be worn in all commercial entities, we are asking everyone who attends an in-person service here at Lakeview or visits our building during the week to fully comply with the governor's mandate and wear a mask. We want to set a good example as a leader in our community by taking every precaution as we seek to provide a COVID safe environment for our church family and the administrators, faculty, and students at our school. As you join for worship in the weeks ahead, please wear a mask. Thanks in advance for your cooperation!
