"Introduction" and "Choose To Be Happy"
Last Sunday at the Town Meeting I shared the beginning of "My Dream for Lakeside." I mentioned that it is a work in progress, needing to be informed by time spent listening to you and your dreams, time spent seeking the Lord, and time working with our staff. Although this ‘vision’ will grow and adjust, I thought I’d share it with you here too. I dream that we will be:
A Contrast Community - A people that live courageously by faith, are known by our love for God, for each other, and for His world; and are a voice for hope everywhere we go. We live in tension with the world because as devoted followers of Jesus, we are participating in His life, death, and resurrection. The natural outcome of our community that is different from the world is the provision of a picture of Kingdom life; though imperfect, others gain a ‘taste’ of what God can do, is doing, and will do in the lives of those who love Him.

He has been received at the White House and has spoken at the request of four different United States presidents.
