This Sunday, Pastor Ron Bontrager discussed putting Faith into action.  True Faith gives, works, and obeys.

The Food Pantry Ministry of Lakeview Church provides help to those in need, not only to our own church members, but also to people living in the surrounding community.  In 2008, the Pantry helped over 2500 families and almost 9000 individuals. Food Pantry day is normally the last Tuesday of each month, but holiday month dates may vary. The Pantry opens at 10 AM and runs until 2 PM, but plan on coming early if possible.  Families are given canned, dry, boxed foods in addition to frozen meats, bread, and pastries.  When available, fresh produce is also given.  The Food Pantry provides resource material on a variety of topics, encouragement, referral information, and prayer to families who desire it.  Emergency food may be obtained through the church office during office hours.

Contact Bob Crum at 852-2421 or e-mail him at carlene1126 [Email address: carlene1126 *AT* sbcglobal.net - replace *AT* with @ ] for volunteer opportunities or questions.

The church office will be closed all week to allow staff to spend time with their families during the holidays.

In this week’s sermon, based on Hebrews 11:3, Pastor Ron Bontrager discussed what having Faith helps us to understand: creation, the seasons we live in, and God.

This morning, Pastor Ron Bontrager discussed the two sides of faith, based on Hebrews 11. The first side of faith is deliverance (the realization of things hoped for), and the second side of faith is endurance (the assurance of things not seen).
