As you prepare to serve or consider serving on August 28th at Oldham/Touched Twice Clinic, I ask that you spend some of that time in prayer. Clint Elliot, the event prayer coordinator, sent the following note to direct and encourage our prayers. If you are interested in participating in the prayer walk this Saturday, let me know, and I’ll get you in touch with Clint, or just be at DeHaven at 1:00 pm this Saturday.
Blessings, Mark
— From Clint —
“Ever hear yourself say: I just wish I knew God’s will for me?
Well, in 1 Timothy 2:1-6 God reveals it rather plainly.
In that Scripture passage God instructs us *"first of all"*(i.e.,
priority!) to pray all kinds of prayers for all kinds of people
BECAUSE *"this is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth."*
I think this passage has great significance for our continued preparation
for August 28 and beyond because I believe that as we *pray* for others God
enlarges the capacity of our heart to compassionately *care *for others,
which should lead to an increased awareness to recognize kingdom
opportunities to *share *with others the good news of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ.
A very simple strategy with eternal consequences: prayer – care – share
So this week, as we prepare for our first prayer walking event, let’s
pray for those throughout the community who have not yet come to a knowledge of the truth, that God would open their hearts to receive the message.
And remember, our prayer walking event will start with a prayer service
together at 1pm at DeHaven on Saturday, July 24, before we head out into the
community in teams.
Hope to see you there.”
As a body we are talking a lot about having a shared sense of mission, unity and action. This means that we want to be focused on the same goals as a unified body and working together to achieve those goals. The main goal that we all should have in mind is glorifying God and making disciples for his Kingdom.
This past Saturday many of us gathered at Oldham county day to share our love and the gospel with the people of Oldham county.
With the Touched Twice ministry coming on August 28th we have an even greater opportunity for more of us to engage in serving the needs of our neighbors and thereby advancing the Kingdom of God.
I want to encourage you to pray for the Touched Twice ministry and volunteer to serve as an advocate. It is a simple but crucial role of this ministry. I am encouraged by how many from LBC have already volunteered and hopeful that many more will join us. Signing up is easy. Just go to www.oldhamclinic.com click the “Volunteer Me” button and fill out the short form. Registration forms are also available at the welcome center and in your Life Class.
If you have any questions just contact me at mark.peterson@takingheavenbystorm.com.
Pastor Tony continues our series on the parables of Jesus with Matthew 18:23-35 to teach us about the enormous unpayable debt we have as humans (in sin), the immeasurable mercy of God through the shed blood of Christ, the requirement of God for us to forgive one another, and the judgment to come for those who don’t.

Calling the LBC family to active ministry
The Staff, Elders and Deacons of Lagrange Baptist Church want to encourage you to be a part of this community ministry. We are looking for 250 to 300 volunteers to serve as guest advocates on the day of the Clinic.
The sole responsibility of a Volunteer/Advocate is walking with their guest for the day. The advocate helps the guest with paper work, assists in navigating the building and most importantly, serves in Christ by building a relationship.
The time requirement is about 4 hours on the day of the clinic plus a short training session one to two weeks prior to the clinic.
Please click the graphic to volunteer to be an advocate and let me know that you have done so by sending me an email at mjpterson37@gmail.com
I look forward to serving in this ministry with many of you.
Pastor Tony continues our series on the parables of Jesus with Matthew 13:44-46 to look at the meaning of the kingdom of heaven among us so that we can better understand what really brings us true joy in this life.

Pastor Tony continues our series on the parables of Jesus with Luke 5:33-39 and Matthew 9:16-17 to look at how we incorrectly give things to God in order to get things (that we want) back from him.
