WELCOME:
We would like to welcome you to The Lighthouse Church this morning. You are not here by accident– you are here by a divine appointment. If this is your first time here, please fill out a visitor card so that we will have a a record of your visit with us. Our prayer is that you feel welcomed and that the presence of the Holy Spirit will minister to your needs as your worship with us.
From the Word:
What will you do on the day of your appointed feasts, on the festival days of the LORD? ~Hosea 9:5 HCSB

A Special Note to Parents
Today, we begin meeting at the YMCA and we wil have to have your help in some things dealing with you children. We have noticed that there is a lot of activity with the kids before, during and after our service. We understand that kids are energetic and love to have fun, and at TLC, we love your children! It is important that you know where your children are at all times. We would ask that you would have them sit with you or someone that has agreed to wach them during the service. If your child needs to go out during the service, please make sure that an adult is with them. As we meet at the YMCA there are many machines that are very expensive and we cannot have the kids roaming free. It is a safety issue as well as a protection for you and your children. Please know that we love your kids and love seeing so many of them here at TLC and we want them to understand that church is a fun place to be. Don’t forget that Bible Club bags are available at the entrance to the gym to help keep your children’s attention. Please help us with this issue as we grow together as a family.

1. It was God calling His people to Him

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Thank You for your Support!
Thank you to everyone who donated food, animal necessities and loose change to the Lighthouse 180 Connection Class drives in May! On June 4th, food and animal supplies were delivered and it was such a blessing in places of need. The young people who went that day volunteered time to work at SERVE food pantry that morning. It’s quite the operation they have going when distributing food on pick up day. Together as a church family, we donated 123lbs of food in honor of TLC. After that morning, a visit to the Callaway Hills animal shelter was in order. This is a wonderful place that has made a home for many unwanted older animals. Although they were unable to help out at this time, the employee took us on a tour and told us about the shelter. Last but not least, the loose change that was donated totalled $66.00 ($20.00 in pennies alone!). A decision was made to give the money to the program Simone spoke about last year. It’s to help fill backpacks with school supplies for needy children in the fall. We couldn’t have shared the blessings without all you’ve done and for that we send a big, big thanks!
Baby Bottle Boomerang
Please bring ALL baby bottles for the Baby Bottle Boomerang by NEXT WEEK (the 13th) and turn them in to Terra Guittar. Thank you for helping.
