LHC Kids News Flash!

What a joy it is to see God working in the lives of our children here at Lake Hills Church. We were honored to baptize 10 kids this past Sunday night - allowing them to make public their decision to trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior! How exciting it has been to see new faces each week learn more about Jesus as well as new faces serving in the classrooms. As we enter into the Thanksgiving season, we wanted to let you know of how thankful we are for some very special people.

We thank God for Susan Dunaway, our LHC Kids Administrative Assistant. Susan has been keeping this ministry organized in so many ways as well as helped us launch our LHC Kids Downtown Ministry. Her passion for ministry has been so evident in many ways and God has truly used her role here to help us reach more kids for Christ. We rejoice (with a heavy heart) in sharing the news with you that Susan will be stepping down from her position here to become a parent! This will be an exciting time in her life and we look forward to being able to minister to her family in the same way she has so faithfully served us.

We thank God for Denise Grosch, our LHC Kids Early Childhood Assistant. Denise has been the backbone of our Sunday morning services in the Base Camp Hallway. She has cut, copied, sorted, colored, ordered, organized, recruited, ministered, and everything else you can think of doing with supplies and volunteers. We have been truly blessed with her heart for making sure families receive the blessings of weekly teaching and worship. We rejoice again (with a heavy heart) in seeing Denise transition to the LHC Financial Office. She will continue serving with a passion for organization and love for people in a different department.

We thank God for Margo Khollman who will be our new LHC Kids Administrative Assistant. Margo and her family have been members of LHC for many years and has faithfully been serving in the Elementary area with her husband and twin daughters. Her passion for ministry and amazing organizational skills will keep LHC Kids headed in the right direction!

We thank God for Allie Alter who will oversee our LHC Kids Downtown Ministries. As an elementary school teacher, Allie brings an expertise in education with her servant's heart for reaching families in the Downtown are for Christ. She and her husband have already been active leaders downtown and look forward to serving in this capacity.

We thank God for Sara Allard who will be our new LHC Kids Early Childhood Assistant. Sara is a mother of two preschoolers and has a unique and exciting passion for this ministry. Sara has been very active on Sunday mornings as well as in Mom to Mom and brings a creative parent's perspective to this ministry. Sara and her husband look forward to how God will use them in this ministry.

We thank God for YOU! Thank you for allowing us to join you in the spiritual growth of your children. Please feel free to drop in the office or give us a call to meet the new LHC Kids Team or to let us know how we can pray for your family. As our theme verse for this ministry says, we look forward to "telling the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done!"

Pastor Philip
