June Events

Come Celebrate MOVIN' UP SUNDAY!

Join us for service at 10:30 am in the Sanctuary on Sunday, June 2, as we ring out the Program Year with a celebration of LSC's young people.  We will acknowledge and honor the children and youth who are blossoming among us - rooted in our shared present, and growing towards our common future.  It will be a day rich with songs, stories, and surprises - plan to be a part of the joy!

Book Discussion with Steve Van Kuiken

Members and friends are invited to join Steve to discuss the book Stewardship for Vital Congregations

by Anthony B. Robinson.  As this is a short book, we'll meet just once beginning at 5:00 pm on Sunday evening June 2 at 5:00 pm.  Members of the Stewardship Committee and others are already reading it, and we'd like you to join us! Robinson is the editor of the Congregational Vitality series, a national consultant and speaker who works with congregations and leaders seeking renewal and transformation.  Specifically, in Stewardship for Vital Congregations, Robinson tackles stewardship, fundraising and planned giving programs, and provides practical suggestions for communities of faith to develop healthy financial resources, but with an awareness of the complex and changing culture of 21st century North America and its resulting challenges to communities of faith.   This book is perfect to address some of the financial challenges currently facing Lake Street Church.
