Special Prayer Request

We are asking for prayer for Brother Junior Vance who has just been taken back to the hospital tonight, (Sunday October 18th).
He is in need of a Divine move of the Holy Spirit in his healing. We will have more details shortly.
I post this at this time due to not being able to reach our contact person Sister Lana Cantrell.

We are planning another trip to Trinity Music City on Tuesday, December 8th. If we have more that 50 to attend that are 15 yrs and above the Adoption Ministry will receive $1,000.00 donation.
The host is Jason Crabb with Sonicflood as one of the guest that night.
Also, T.B.N. will be decorated for Christmas at that time and can be enjoyed as well.
We would love for you to plan to go on this special night in support of the ministry.

Tool Drive

This month the men's ministry at Lakeside is having a tool drive to help stock the tool trailer. The tools will be used in various outreach projects in the community by the men's ministry. If you have any good workable tools you would like to donate, please see Richie Wix, Travis Carter or Tim Shelton. We will be accepting any type tools from hand tools to power tools.

We have booked the Thomas House in Red Boiling Springs for our Christmas banquet this year.
We are taking reservations for the banquet and will have a limited amount of seating for the evening (first come seating only). The time of the banquet is Wednesday evening, December 16th at 7:00 pm. The price is the same as last year, $13.80 (including tip) for adults and $6.90 for a child (10-under) . See Sister Reba Patterson or Melissa Graves to make reservations.
Make plans to have a great evening of fun, fellowship and lots of great food.

Sunday Services

We are so thankful for the blessings of the Lord and the visitation of the Holy Spirit that was with us in our Sunday morning services. All who attended were blessed and the freedom of God's Spirit could be felt throughout the house. We invite you if you are not a regular attender at a local church to come and be with us in attendance at on Sunday or Wednesday for a great bible study in God Word.
