Welcome to a fresh issue of LHF This Week. After enduring more than two weeks of deep freeze, we finally have a forecast promising warmer temperatures. This welcome change will help us thaw out and enjoy the coming days with renewed energy. It was also a blessing to return to worship services this week after a weather-related pause. In this edition, you will find a weekend wrap-up, updates on our prayer list, the latest calendar events, and a heartfelt thank you from our Food Ministry team.
Weekend Wrap-up
Returning to worship after a two-week break felt like a breath of fresh air for our community. The cold weather forced us to cancel services, but this weekend brought us back together with warmth and fellowship. Pastors Chris and Derek shared stories from their recent mission trip to the Philippines, giving us a glimpse into the lives and faith of the people they met.
They also presented an overview video that captured key moments of the trip. This visual journey helped everyone experience a small part of the mission firsthand. The message centered on the theme of giving God your whole heart. Whether through prayer, financial support, or physically going on missions, each person has a role to play.
Check out the video presentation of the trip here.

A Thank You from the Food Box Ministry Team
Our Food Box Ministry team extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported their efforts during the recent cold spell. Your continued donations, volunteer hours, and prayers have made a significant difference in reaching those in need. The box was definitely a hot commodity during the past several weeks and we are grateful for the opportunity to minister in this way to our community. The team is excited to continue serving as the weather warms, and thanks you in advance for your continued donations.
That's all for this week! We look forward to seeing you at one of our Bible Studies or youth events this week and for church service on Sunday!
