Greetings Lakeside, June turned out to be a very busy month. The loss of some members to death was heartbreaking to families and friends, but consoled by the knowledge that their pain and struggles are now behind them. We also had several successful events to enjoy fellowship and invite others to “Come and See” the family we call Lakeside United Methodist Church. At this moment, July appears to be less busy. However, do not forget the Dinner and Game Night on July 19 and our 5th Sunday combined Sunday School on July 30, with Darrell Cates, from the Oklahoma United Methodist Foundation, as our guest speaker. Also, I will continue my sermon series on Old Testament Heroes throughout the month of July. Some have asked me why I am doing this series on people from the Old Testament. I do not have to remind you that the Old Testament is a part of the Bible. While it is true that I am much more of a New Testament preacher, I know there is much to learn from the stories and people in the Old Testament. I also believe that the heroes I have chosen for this series have much we can relate to in our Christian lives through the circumstances and trials of their times and how these persons related to others and to God. I pray you will “Come and See” what these Heroes have to teach and I am sure that you will want to “Go and Tell” these wonderful stories. Blessings, Pastor Randy

Oh, what a joy to see... Please remember that we share our space with others in the community and within the ministries of the church. If you use a space please remember to leave it cleaner than you found it and ready for the next group. No plan is complete until it includes a clean up crew. We have limited staff and resources and we want to be good stewards. Here are some important guidelines... * Do not leave left over food at the church * Clean and put away all dishes * Wipe off couter tops, tables & equipment used * Launder or shake off tableclothes as needed * Clean up messes or litter on floors as needed * Take the trash out before you leave. Our church is growing and we want it to always make a positive impression on our visitors. Whether its on Sunday or during the week. Your help and support is greatly appreciated.

LAKESIDERS HELPING LAKESIDERS
If you have a small project around your house that needs tending to, please fill out one of the Helping Hands cards found in the pews or on the table in the hallway. You may return the card to Pastor Randy or place one of the Prayer boxes located on the Sanctuary walls just before the side exit doors. While some tasks may be too big, no task is too small! Don’t be afraid to ask!
Outside play time with the parachute!
“The Lost is Found”
Mary Ellen’s tablecloth is home safe. It was put away by a helpful spouse and found before the end of the day.

We are collecting food for Lakeside’s food pantry! All food should be non-perishable, and can be dropped off at the office. There is still a need in this community for food. People still come to the office and ask for food, and often times we don’t have much to give. Thank you for considering donating food to Lakeside’s food pantry!

All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful our Lord God made them all!!
Soon we will be gearing up for our fall ministries. I pray you will think ahead and find ways you can be supportive and helpful in all the ministries we do. Sunday school classes need your help, especially our growing children’s ministries. There will be mission opportunities, family opportunities and book and Bible Studies. While worship is an integral part of our ministry and family, getting connected to the church in ways other than worship is also essential to the health of the church and its’ membership! - Pastor Randy
A great day for a picnic!
Did you know that YOU can help keep the cost of Lakeside’s utilities down in the following ways? • Keeping lights off in unused rooms. • Keeping all sanctuary doors completely closed when not in use as it has a separate heat and air system that has been set by a timer. • Keeping the parlor room thermostat set to off when not in use and close the door as it also has a separate heat and air system. The Trustees greatly appreciate your help!!

Thank you for all who donated school supplies for the Circle of Care Child SHARE program. These supplies will be provided to local foster children. “Back-to-school time for a foster child often means a new school in an unfamiliar community, different rules and new faces,” said Lynne Roller, Executive Director of Citizens Caring for Children. “Providing school supplies and back-toschool clothing are two key ways caring individuals can support foster children through a time of considerable anxiety.” Thank for all your contributions! -Education committee
