2026 Secret Prayer Pal Program – As many of you know, the SPP has been in existence at Lakeview for many, many years; and we are continuing again in 2026. As a reminder those who participate in the SPP Program are given a person to pray for throughout the year. Some Prayer Pals, in addition to prayer, send cards or give small gifts to their SPP; but remember, the purpose of this program is PRAYER (cards and gifts are not expected or required). If you are interested in participating, please complete the SPP form that can be found in the Narthex or you may give it directly to Audrey Blocchi by Sunday, January 11, 2026. The breakfast to reveal the 2025 Secret Prayer Pals will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2026 at 9:00 AM in the Fellowship Hall.
2026 Offering Envelopes – A few boxes of 2026 offering envelopes still remain in the narthex. If any name was missed, please contact Linda Viney at 392-1996.
