Dear ,

Happy Friday LAC Family! Today's video comes from Pastor Scott White as he shares some final details about our upcoming Christmas Eve Services together, Christmas Day, and our two all-church Sunday Family Services on December 26 and January 2, 2022. In addition, we want to make you aware that our campus will be closed between Christmas and New Year to give the staff a Christmas gift of some time off.

There are several significant ways you can serve this Christmas Season:

  • Remember to bring any electric candles you may have taken home last year
  • Invite your friends, family, and neighbors to either the 4 pm or 8 pm Christmas Eve service.
  • Help greet guests on Christmas Eve at either the 4 or 8 pm service by contacting Nancy Smith at at 626.817.4568.
  • Park at Gateway Plaza to make room for our guests that evening. Please don't park on the side streets in order for our neighbors to have room for their guests.
  • Wear a mask while indoors to show respect and care for those around us

NEW YEAR, EPIPHANY AND BLAIR SERVE WEEKEND
Pastor Scott also shares about our 2-part Epiphany Teaching series starting in the new year that builds off of our “Unwrapped” Advent series, and ways that we can also be a gift to our surrounding community through our involvement with Blair High School. On January 8/9 weekend we have the opportunity to partner with them in a Serve Day that Saturday from 8 am to noon followed by a community-building lunch from noon to 1 pm. On Sunday, a team of administrators and students will be at Lake celebrating with us in the Worship Center. They will have a table in Lobby for you to be able to connect with them about ways you can be a blessing to our adopted school, teachers, and students. For details and to register visit our event page - HERE or see the ad below.
