Get Ready...

Tomorrow is the big day.

On October 30th at 10am we will be meeting at the Mobile Units to start our meal ministry for Latonia Lakes.

We will be making enough sandwiches, chili, and pies to feed over 200 people in the neighborhood. If you would like to be a part of this ministry we welcome all the help we can get.

If you have chili or pies to donate you have a couple of options. Please pick the one that is easiest for you.
You can:
1. Drop off your container (i.e. crockpot) on Friday night or Saturday morning. Please make sure your container is identified so we can give it back to you ASAP.
2. Pick up our containers on Friday. I will have our 16-32 oz containers at the Lighthouse. If you would rather take these containers, fill them up at your house and bring them in you are welcome to do so. We ask that you leave a little air space in the containers to avoid spilling.
3. Cook your food on Saturday. If you need a stovetop bring your supplies to the church and cook your chili here.

We are asking that all donations be at the Lighthouse by Saturday @ 10am. If you need help transporting please let me know.

If you would like to come a little earlier, I will be getting to the church around 7:30 to prep our food stations.

Thank you again to all of those that have helped with their donations, work, and prayers.

It is very exciting to see the church being the hands and feet of God. Our goal is to serve our neighbors and share Christ's love. Remember to continually pray for this ministry as well as the people involved (workers and recipients).

Modesty Rebelution

Last week during The Point, I made a reference to the "The Modesty Survey".

This was created by two twin brothers that are very well known throughout the Christian community. Alex and Brett Harris first became widely known for writing their book "Do Hard Things" (We have copies of this in our youth resource library).

They began promoting a phrase, The Rebelution (Rebelling and Revolution). Instead of limiting themselves because of their age they have pushed forward to stand up for what they believe in.

The Modesty survey is an excellent tool for parents and students of any age or gender. It interviews hundreds of males on things dealing with modesty. We did our own little survey this past Wednesday but I encourage you to check out this website to find more. Some answers may surprise you. Some points you may agree or disagree with.

Hopefully it reminds you how important it is to honor God in all that we do, including how we dress.

Meal Ministry


On Saturday, October 30th we are going to be going out through Latonia Lakes passing out meals to the residents.

The Middle Schoolers will be making sub sandwiches and chili.

The High Schoolers will be making homemade pies.

We will be meeting at the church at 10:00 am. If you can't make it until later, you are still welcome to come, we'll be there all day.

On Monday, October 25th we will be going throughout the Lakes to tell them about the meal. We'll be meeting at the Lighthouse at 5:00pm.

This is a great opportunity to learn how to cook, but more importantly to show God's love to the people of Latonia Lakes.

The Point Prize


This Wednesday we are holding a competition on who can bring the most visitors to "The Point" will win a fabulous prize.


But ultimately we have to understand that there is no prize that is better than our friends hearing the gospel.


If you would like your friends to be a part of the After School Program I need either 1. A permission Slip or 2. A note/phone call from the parents of the visitor.
