  • Pictorial Directory Update
    Due to the need for a considerable number of corrections to the Pictorial Directory before printing, it is necessary to delay publication yet again. When the directories are available for pick-up and purchase, there will be multiple announcements in the Worship Folder, online and via email. The Picture People sincerely apologize for this delay and inconvenience to the LAC Family, but it is imperative that we make sure this directory is as accurate as possible. Thank you for your patience.
