l a k e s h o r e fellowship

You will harvest what you plant. That's not only true for farming, but also for our spiritual life. Or to put it negatively: garbage in, garbage out. So, what are you planting and cultivating in your mind and heart each day? This Sunday we continue our series The King is Here! with the message titled "Grow in the Word of God" based on Mark 4:1-34.

Each week there will be a new theme for the Lakeshore family to focus on in our prayers. We would like to cultivate a deeper environment and practice of prayer at Lakeshore Fellowship. In our daily prayers with others and individually, let us include the following theme throughout the coming week, along with praying for the needs of those on Lakeshore’s prayer list.

 Pray for the Spirit to give the Lakeshore Family in this New Year a clearer 20/20 vision of Jesus as our Lord and King and how we can follow Him each day.

 “As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. ‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.’ At once they left their nets and follow him.”  Mark 1:1-18

At Lakeshore, we feel life is done better in circles than rows. Community groups are groups of 8-12 people who gather around their identity in Jesus to grow in Christ, care for one another, and join God on mission in the world.
