Northeast Middle Assembly – Beginning January 1, 2027, Lakeview will be part of NEMA–Northeast Middle Assembly.
Consistory Mini-Minutes: The Lakeview Consistory met on Monday, October 26.
1. Mark Gill led our devotions. He read from Ephesians 4:1-6. The focus was on our unity in Christ even in the face of differing perspectives.
2. Rose Admiraal presented the child protection policy and a goal of starting education for children during Advent. The Consistory voiced approval.
3. We decided not to hold the annual Care Group meeting this fall. Instead, we encourage congregants to speak with their Care Group Elder or Deacon individually.
4. We discussed Lakeview’s need for leaders. Are you willing to serve as an elder or deacon?
5. We celebrated a New Members Class for which four people have signed up already!
An Invitation to Participate – Lakeview received a significant grant from the Reformed Church in America (RCA) to help pay for our sound system upgrade. Part of the process involves taking a survey. Many in our congregation will take the Flourishing Churches Assessment. Do you want to participate? Thank you in advance! Here’s the survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/N96S97V
New Members Class – Do you want to become a member of Lakeview? The first class met on Thursday, Oct. 29, at 7:00 PM. The other three classes will meet in the Founders’ Room, each from 7:00 to 8:00 PM on Nov. 12 (Thursday); on Nov. 17, and Dec. 1 (both Tuesdays). The classes will focus on different aspects of “Belonging–What it means to belong to Jesus Christ and the church.”
Education and Nursery need a few more volunteers! Please talk to Pastor Rose or Debbie Gill, if you are interested. If you are planning on helping with nursery or walk-out church, please get an application from Debbie Gill, Catherine Hughes, or Pastor Rose.
A few women have decided to read “One Thousand Gifts” by Ann Voskamp and discuss it. We would like to start soon and hope to meet on Wednesday evenings. If you are interested, contact Pastor Rose.
Flowers in the Sanctuary this morning are from Karen Altavela in celebration of Karen and Richard’s Anniversary.
