The 5th Sunday Methodist Community Church Service and Lunch
The 5th Sunday Methodist Community Church Service and Lunch
Sunday, August 31st is Lakeview's turn to host the St. Albans Methodist Churches in a community service and luncheon. We're working on ideas for where everyone is going to park, etc. Our current plan is to provide BBQ sandwiches & some chicken and have the other churches bring the side dishes and desserts. It will take all of us to successfully host this large group. Be sure to note that Sunday on your calendar so we can be gracious hosts to all our Methodist friends.
Welcome Pastor Sheila! As she gets settled in, she will post her office hours on a dry erase board on her office door. Stop by and say, hello!

Finance and parsonage committees met to discuss future repairs on the parsonage. Three major repairs will be needed soon: 1. roof ($8,300 estimate), 2. windows ($9,400 est.) and 3. door ($6,431).
