Lutheran Church By The Lake 100 Twelve Oaks Drive & Highway 378 Pastor James Kinsler McCormick, SC 29835 864-391-2110 864-391-3000 [email protected] [email protected] Sunday Schedule Worship Services: 8:15 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. Beach Service: 9:15 a.m. June 2015 lcbtlpa [email protected] In the Good “Ole” Summer Time [email protected] - www.lcbtl.org The third chapter of Ecclesiastes begins with the words, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” The writer then goes through a spectrum of events, from life to death, from weeping to laugher, and from silence to speaking. The list is quiet varied, covering many of the ups and downs we as people experience. As the season of summer is upon us, it is a traditional time of recreation and travel. I pray that each of you will experience the renewing presence of God in your time away and your opportunities to spend time with those you love. Lutheran Church By The Lake touches the world in many ways. One of the most direct is through the travel of our members. We would like to track how far the light of Christ is shining. Let us know when you’re traveling. Please bring home a bulletin when you worship on vacation. Also let us know your destinations and we will mark them on a map. Each of us is an ambassador for Christ in our daily life. May the light and love of God shine in you and through you in this season of travel.

The 2015 version, Camp Grand Prix, promises to do the same as we focus on Psalm 23. In addition to our regular classes for the young people a workshop for grandparents has been added. Pastor Jim will be sharing some of the ideas that came out of his Doctor of Ministry study, "Grandparenting the Next Generation: Fanning the Flame of Faith." The workshop will be offered on Thursday, July 2 at 9:30 a.m. It will be located at the model home before you turn into the parking lot at LCBTL.

Many thanks to all of the generous folks who provided beautiful "Pampering Bags" for MEGs House. They were delivered in time for Mothers Day and gratefully received by the staff. These bags are a touch of special caring to women who may presently be going through a very difficult time and are truly appreciative of our caring. Mary Westgate, WIN (Women In Need) Circle ANOTHER BIG Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! WELCA would like to thank everyone for all your help and support for this years’ Garage Sale. Because of all of you, we now have $2,215.00 to help us continue our ministries throughout the coming year. It helps us all to make a difference to those in need. We had over 30 volunteers that worked over 200 hours for this year's sale! That does not include all the time spent doing your spring cleaning and bringing treasures to the church! A huge thank you to all of you who did your spring cleaning and donated those items no longer needed. Thank you to all of you who came forward to help us sort and price all of your treasures. Thank you to those of you who helped out at the sale on Saturday. Thank you to those of you who shopped and took home new treasures of your own. And please help us thank all of our men who stepped forward to load trucks and deliver our treasures to the Recreation Center early Saturday morning at 5:45! Many of them came back after the sale to help clean up as well! WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT THEM!!! All of our leftover items were donated to McCormick Charities where your items will be sold later to help Habitat, Helping Hands and the Children’s Home. Please give yourselves a pat on the back for a job well done. We hope to see you all next year!
