Visiting a new church can be pretty awkward. Maybe you’re coming from another church that did things differently or you’ve never been part of a church. Now you’re surrounded by a bunch of people singing songs that you don’t know and praying prayers you’ve never heard. Then, to top it all off, they pass around a basket and ask for money. We get it! We know that visiting a church can be uncomfortable, and we want to make you feel at home. So, here are a few things to know:

• You are welcome here and we're so glad you came. Every one of us has a past and it doesn’t matter where you come from, what you’ve done, or who you’re involved with, you're always welcome.
• Do not feel obligated to give. For those who attend our church regularly, it is an honor to give, but we do not expect it of our guests.
• Relax and enjoy yourself. Hopefully the routines of our Sunday service will be pretty easy to understand, but don’t worry, there’s nothing here to “mess up.”
• Say "hello" to someone. Most likely a bunch of people have already said “hello” to you, but in case they haven’t, step out and introduce yourself. We’d love to get to know you.
• Finally, if you have any questions, please ask!

Our hope is that after getting to know us better, you would become a part of our church family.  We’d love to have you on the journey.

Hi there and happy Friday!
We look forward to seeing you Sunday for time together in worship and the word. Here are a few things we have going on around here:
LACS Indian Taco Night -The LACS School Board will be here until 7:30 tonight serving Indian Tacos to raise money for our school. Come join us if you don’t feel like cooking! Tickets are $16 and include a beverage and dessert.   

Discipleship Class- They meet Sunday morning at 8 am or Tuesday at 1 pm in room 10. You can contact Larry with any questions at 816-1253 or lskendrick@frontier.com

Mom’s Group - Join us for Mom’s Group on August 2 at Marva’s house at 1338 Peninsula Drive. Bring your own food for a picnic on the lake. Call or text Marlo with any questions 816-9267

Highway Cleanup- We will be meeting at the Texaco gas station on Highway 147 at 8 am on Monday, July 29th to help us clean up our section of the highway. We have all the supplies (vests, pinchers to pick up trash, and bags) All we need is you! 

Unsung Hero – Mt. Lassen Theatre will be showing Unsung Hero next Friday, July 26 at 7 pm . It’s a touching story about a mother’s impact and legacy on her family.

Firewood Opportunity-We had a good deal of firewood donated last season and we had quite a bit on site. As a result, even after filling the Benevolence requests for last year's winter season, we still have a good deal left and more to split for this coming winter. As a result, your deacon and Elder boards have decided to make 10 cords available to those of you who are not physically able to cut and split your own wood but normally buy your firewood. Rather than establishing a price, we ask that you generously make a donation to the Church for an amount you feel is appropriate. The wood is mostly dry & split White fir and depending on the response, there may be a limit per family. 
 
Hume Lake Counselor- We have a great group of middle school girls that we need a counselor for at Hume Lake. If you are interested or able to help, contact Chloe at 258-7166 or chloe@lakechurch.life
 
See you Sunday at 9:30!

Matt & the LACC staff

Around 2010 Pastor John's wife, Debra, started to have a chronic cough, increased breathlessness with exercise and pneumonia that took about 4 months to recover from. By 2014 the symptoms and recurring pneumonia caused her to begin seeing pulmonologists in Reno. she was treated for asthma with various inhalers that were ineffective. In 2016 her doctors saw a lung mass which led to many tests and procedures without a definitive diagnosis. Eventually a Pulmonary Nurse reviewed her information and gave her the diagnosis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). She told us, “You are just going to get worse and there is no treatment or cure ...that was quite a blow, to say the least. She then did a self-referral to the University of California in Davis’ (UCD) Interstitial Lung Disease department and....
