“Christmas in July”

The calendar may not say it’s Christmas, but it’s always appropriate to celebrate Christ’s coming to earth. On Sunday, July 25^th, we will be celebrating Christmas at Lakeside. We will sing familiar Christmas carols and see familiar symbols of the season.The highlight of our worship will be a special love offering for our missionaries’ Christmas. In order to get Christmas gifts to missionaries before Christmas, we want to mark out this time to honor them.

Hey Kids!! You’re invited to Lakeside Baptist’s V.B.S.

Maundy Thursday Communion & Tenebrae Service -Thursday, April 1, 2010 -7:00 p.m.

“Tenebrae” is Latin for shadows or darkness. The Tenebrae service can be used for Good Friday or Maundy Thursday. Each candle is extinguished one by one, symbolizing the extinguishing of Jesus on the Cross. It is a solemn and somber service, recreating the emotional aspects of the Passion story, the sense of the betrayal, abandonment, and agony of the events. It is left unfinished, because the story isn’t over until Easter Day.

Reservations are now open for a Whitecaps baseball game on July 24. Game time is 7:00 p.m. The night also features the movie ‘Star Wars’ and post game fireworks.

Reserved tickets cost $9.00 each.

The Program has been the cornerstone of all Jimmy’s fitness programs, for any age. Two years ago Jimmy designed “balance your life” for seniors.

Balance is now the most popular fitness program among seniors. LBC will offer this program to all area seniors every third Thursday through March 18, 2010.

Good Morning America devoted a great amount of time to this a few months ago. Seniors are now recognizing the importance of attaining a higher degree of functional balance. Balance your life exercises are progressive in nature with posture, technique and proper breathing as the foundation. Those who participate will not have to get down on the floor and we will not be using weights or machines. Participants will be introduced to the “portable gym”, a resistance band, exercise ball and folding chair.

Outcomes expected:
*better functional balance
*greater coordination
*more energy
*reduce stress
*more strength
*feel and look younger

While exercising, participants will have fun! Physically-challenged are welcomed. Participants will also receive health and food tips to combat injury and illness. Everyone deserves a healthy lifestyle.

The joint boards (ministries) to share lunch together on January 31, after the morning service, to discuss our joint concerns with the Elders. All of this will be a new venture for us, – it will be exciting to see how God leads us!

Our in-house Bible studies will begin in February. The topic will be “The Mind of Christ”-a study in Philippians ($3.00 for the booklet) that will compliment Pastor Lew’s sermon series. If you would like to participate, please contact Pastor Wayne wayne@lbcmuskegon.com.
