friday pastor's update
September 24, 2021
 
 
 

Dear ,

This Sunday, we continue in week three of our “Together Life” series in Psalms. We will be looking at Psalm 82 and experience the honest questions and reflections from a man named Asaph, a contemporary of King David and assigned by David to be one of Israel’s Worship Leaders (1 Chronicles 6:39). He was a skilled poet and musician and 11 of the Psalms are credited to him. Asaph’s questions are drawn from the world as it was around him…questions many of us might still utter today.

Pastor Scott White

Our Missional Outreach Pastor, Mathew P. John, will walk us into and out of this Psalm in a special message titled “GOD vs. gods”; a psalm bookended by verses of affirmation of who God is always and affirmations of his faithfulness. To find out more about this series visit our series page where you can read and watch Jeremy Rose share in-depth our hope for what this series can teach us.

SPECIAL UPDATE FROM THE MINISTRY COUNCIL
Some of you have read or heard expressions of concern about aspects of a summer community education program that met on the LAC campus for several years before the pandemic. Your Ministry Council devoted substantial time to this question at its August 31 meeting and appointed a task force of four Ministry Council members, who are gathering facts directly from those who have the information. They will prepare a report and recommendations for Ministry Council action well in advance of next summer’s program, which will be reported to the Congregation.

THE KITCHEN TABLE (TKT) UPCOMING EVENTS
Join us next Wednesday at 7 pm in the Worship Center for our first TKT Presentation and Q&A titled “Reaching for the Planets and Beyond – Engaging with JPL Scientists”

Then, join us on Wednesday, Oct. 20, at 7 pm in the Worship Center for “Beyond COVID-19: The Pandemic Ripple Effect on Health and Wellness” as we hear from an expert panel discuss the impact that the COVID-19 Pandemic has had on our society and mental health.

HAPPY AUTUMN FESTIVAL!
This festival, celebrated on this week’s full moon, is the second biggest holiday in the Chinese world. A blessing a friend shared with us that as a Believer they love to bless others with is this: “May you light up others worlds, as you light up your lanterns! To all of our LAC Family who celebrated with Family near or far, shared mooncakes with friends or sent and received endless We Chat messages, Happy Autumn Festival to you and your Family. May the light of Heaven shine brightly upon you and your family, in every way!”

Want to learn more about the Autumn Festival? Here is a reflection from a Chinese Believer shared by one of our partner ministries (China Source), click - HERE

We look forward to seeing you this Sunday at 10 am indoors and online as we get to experience the joy of worship, celebration, and message. You can also watch our service anytime on-demand afterward on YouTube and Facebook.

TKT Beyond Covid-19

THE KITCHEN TABLE:
Beyond COVID-19: The Pandemic Ripple Effect on Health and Wellness

Wednesday, Oct. 20, 7 pm • Worship Center

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every individual on this planet and everyone has experienced loss, isolation, and increased stress to varying degrees. This challenging time has brought new questions and insight into our pursuit of health and wellness, adjusted our priorities and forced us to face our vulnerability, perhaps like never before. This crisis has created an unprecedented opportunity to grow, learn, change our preferences, assess our risk tolerance, and establish core life values for our health and wellness.

God has created us to be social beings and to learn and love together. Join our expert panel as we journey together to explore essential principles of health, wellness, and disease prevention. We will discuss the human body, how we are fearfully and wonderfully made, which important daily habits contribute to life-long disease mitigation and prevention, and how our social connection and engagement with a community have tangible physical effects. There will be a discussion and a Q&A following. To register for this free event, click HERE

Expert Panel:

  • Emily Rose, MD (USC Keck School of Medicine), moderator
    Clifford L. Penner, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist (Passionate commitment)
