Loved At Lakeside

My Love, Pat

2012-02-07T17:09:00.002-05:00

Day 9 and we're still waiting for another procedure to be done. We were blessed today to have the deacons and pastors come and pray over Pat. We enjoyed a sweet time in the Lord and we're certainly trusting Him for healing and help. Thank you for all of your prayers and love.

Saturday Update

2012-01-28T17:22:00.000-05:00

Dear Lakeside Family,

Please be in prayer for Bro. Jim and Mrs. Priscilla's daughter Rebecca in Kansas. She has had a difficult few days and we are so glad that Bro. Jim was able to fly out late last night to be there.
Also we ask you to pray again for all the Aiken Public Safety family as another officer was shot earlier this morning. You can follow the details in the local news but I ask you to be intercessors for these professional people who stand between us and evil in our community. Once again our church is trying to be a blessing by providing food and I am simply trying to share the love of Christ with the officers during this difficult time.
I pray that you will be present in the morning as we prepare to receive our tithing commitments for 2012.
We love each one of you and desire to be an encouragement to you.

I had a great time of fellowship with Bryant Crane from South Africa today. Bryant and Sharan are some of our dearest friends and they are enjoying the blessings of God from over 20 years of ministry on the field. Would you pray for them as they report to their supporting churches over the next few months and then prepare to go back to South Africa with all three of their boys now here in the United States.

Another great day this past Sunday at Lakeside. I believe we had our highest attendance so far in Sunday School and our preaching attendance continues to be very strong. We really enjoyed Bro. Squire Parsons singing "Beulah Land" and "Master of the Sea" on Sunday night as it fit so well with our pictures and testimonies of our Israel trip. Praise the Lord!

911 Report

2011-09-17T09:57:00.003-04:00

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.

Siler City

2011-09-17T09:45:00.004-04:00

You may hear me talk about Siler City, NC a lot because after 21 years as an assistant pastor I pastored my first church there, Community Baptist. We really did enjoy being there again and preaching on Wednesday night of this week. Everyone was so kind to us as we remembered God's goodness to us during our ministry there. Pastor Mark Agan is doing a great job there and we had a good time of fellowship with him, his wife Beth and son Tyler.

I was there to help preach a funeral for Anthony, a man that I had the joy to lead to Christ. After I spoke first then Pastor Mark preached a great salvation message and 7 people trusted Christ. Praise the Lord!

We're glad to be back at Lakeside and look forward to a wonderful Lord's day tomorrow!

2011-09-16T14:30:00.001-04:00

Thank the Lord for Bro. Leon! He does a remarkable job of always keeping our property looking sharp.

Disaster Supplies

YES, we will still be collecting disaster supplies even if the hurricane does not affect the Carolina coast. A trailer is already at Kroger in North Augusta and collection will begin in the morning or you may bring supplies tonight. We now have a Disaster Relief Ministry and we will always need supplies on hand for this hurricane season or any other disaster that may affect the CSRA or our state. We need to have the ability to be on the scene with aid quickly.

Please remember to help in the following areas:

Post info on social media or send email to inform others of needed supplies

Bring supplies to church or Kroger in NA or the BBQ Barn in Aiken (No trailer at Reid's yet)

Distribute fliers at work, school or other churches

Please volunteer a few hours at Kroger at the collection trailer starting Thursday morning thru Saturday (sign up tonight)

Lord willing we will see you tonight. It's a joy to serve the Lord with the wonderful people of Lakeside!

We had a great day this past Sunday honoring all of our students and teachers. Pray for these folks as they try to be salt and light in their schools this year. We were glad to have Pastor Lance Halford and his wife Sarah visiting with us as they were just taking a break from their ministry. Praise the Lord for another full to overflowing building again and continue to pray as we consider beginning an early preaching service.
