LaGrange Baptist Church

Some people are asking me questions about being an Advocate. Without these answers some are reluctant to sign up to help, so let me put the questions and their answers out here for all to see.

1. Do I have to have medical experience to be an Advocate? – NO!
2. Do I have to know Spanish? – NO (Helpful, but no)
3. Will there be training? – Yes – Tuesday night the 24th at DeHaven and Saturday morning the 28th at DeHaven – times to be announced
4. Will there be people there to help me answer spiritual questions that I don’t feel comfortable with? YES
5. How long is the event? – From 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, but plan to be there early for training and late for clean up if possible.

We need your help, so don’t let an unanswered question keep you from volunteering. Contact me with your question, and I’ll get you an answer.

Currently we have 56 advocates signed up. LaGrange Baptist  has 22 advocates signed up to serve. I am very proud of the strong turn out for our church, but I pray to see many more, so please don’t hesitate to ask a question if you want to sign up but aren’t sure.

Blessing, Mark

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.
