CommUNITY

by: DeAnn Wilson - Director of Leadership Ministries

May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and increase your numbers until you become a community of peoples.
(Genesis 28:3)

It’s been so exciting to be a part of what God is doing within and through Lake Hills Church. The response to our new community events has been overwhelming starting in November with our Baptism & Burgers Bash and most recently, our First Annual Christmas Tree Lighting event. Hundreds of people gathered as Santa made his appearance on the Hudson Bend fire truck. Almost 500 cookies were carefully & creatively decorated. Lines formed for kettle corn and train rides. Families volunteered to serve together by gently applying countless Christmas tattoos to tiny little hands! Needless to say, the church grounds were alive with joy, cheer and holiday happiness.

Doing life together outside of Sunday morning church and creating a scene like the one above is the heartbeat behind our community events. We’re so excited about our 2008 community event line-up, which will kick-off in February with a Chili Cook-off! Stay tuned to www.lhc.org for more info.

For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."
(Matthew 18:20)
