911 Report

Wow! What a fantastic day last Sunday. I love the people of Lakeside! The Lord is certainly good!
I believe every person from Lakeside was involved at some level in helping pray, invite, plan, prepare, welcome and minister last week as we remembered 9-11 and honored our local heroes.
When everything was counted, I think there were over 40 life saving vehicles displayed, hundreds of first responders in uniform, 770 in attendance (we fed almost 900) and 10 who prayed to receive Christ as savior. The gym and tent were both filled for the meal (thanks Jody) and everyone from the public safety community seemed to be so grateful for the recognition.
This is our 4th annual 911 Honor Service and we want to thank Chris Alverson and Tim Carlton for their tireless work in helping to organize the entire event. Preaching the gospel of Christ is always our passion and we are so grateful that God has given us an open door of ministry to these dear folks.
