A Brief Update from Pastor Chris– Check out this video for some important updates from  Pastor Chris!
 
Last Week’s Sermon -  If you missed it, you can watch the Online Missions Conference sermon from Guest Speaker Hubert Herriman here.
  
Faith Promise -  You can be an integral part of supporting Lakeview’s global impact on missions by partnering with our missionaries through a Faith Promise. The Faith Promise is between you and God and will help the missions committee plan and budget for how they are able to support missionaries through the year. The form can be found online by clicking here. Please make sure to pray about this and have your form completed by May 31st.  Click here to find out what exactly a Faith Promise is.
  
Growth Meetings -  One thing’s for sure—many of us have time we never thought we'd have. As your pastors, we want to come alongside you and help you grow as a Christian. Now's the time to learn more about that book of the Bible you've always wondered about, to improve your prayer life, to kick that old sinful habit...to grow personally in your relationship with Christ! Sign-up today for a bi-weekly, 20-30 minute, one-on-one phone call or video conference with one of our pastors by clicking here.
  
21 Days of Prayer – Save the dates! Our local church will kick off 21 days of Prayer on May 10th with prayer focuses for each day through May 31st.  On May 31st, we invite you to gather with us virtually for TOGETHER, an online prayer event, where Wesleyans everywhere will be calling out for a fresh pouring out of the Spirit of God upon us.  The livestream starts at 7pm eastern time.
