Satan’s "seat" was well known to the church at Pergamos (Rev. 2:12-17). Unfortunately, Satan is still influencing churches. Just don’t let him get too comfortable.

Medical Missions International - Brother Joe & Katie Hellums report that hundreds more were saved after the team moved on from Ecuador to Columbia. We look forward to hearing from them about this very successful mission trip.

Missionary Committee

Our meeting was cancelled last Sunday but has been re-scheduled for today. The missionary committee will meet just after lunch today in the Couple’s Classroom.

Our business meeting has moved. The church voted to move business meeting to the second Sunday night of each month.

Our new AWANA/Discovery schedule went well last Wednesday night. Check in time is still at 6:30 but we will close at 8:00 PM. We continue to have new students for our Wednesday night programs. Please remember our Directors and Leaders when you pray. There were ninety five present last Wednesday.

Remember, check-in is now at the main entrance to the FLEC building. The bus pulls up at that door for delivery and pick up of students.

New Tabernacle at Budd Creek

Lakeside Church would like to raise $10,000.00 during the next year for the Budd Creek Tabernacle Fund. Several fund raising efforts are already underway: The change jar in our vestibule has a $1,000.00 goal for this purpose. The rent a kid project may be done at any time during the year. (Our young people may be "rented" by our church members for chores at a rate of $10.00 per hour. See Scott Addison for details.) Of course, all the proceeds go into the Tabernacle Fund.

Another effort that is underway is for parents, grandparents or others interested adults to give a regular monthly offering. A monthly offering of $25.00 amounts to $300 in twelve months. If 30 families did this, it would raise $9,000.00 in a year!

Everything should go through the church. The church treasurer is keeping up with all that is given for the Tabernacle Fund. Your checks should be made out to Lakeside and designated on the memo line that it is for the Budd Creek Tabernacle Fund.

Please don’t forget to pray. Pray that God will bless the efforts of other churches that are also raising funds for the new tabernacle. Pray for Brother Paul and Sister Dianne Weatherford, who are responsible for the operation of the camp. Pray that souls would be saved as a result of the preaching of the gospel at Budd Creek Church Camp.

Advance sales for the Ladies Auxiliary cook books are being accepted. The books will be $12.00 each. You will find coupons on the vestibule table. Money for the cookbooks may be turned in to Sister Faye or Sister Brenda.

Sunday Morning II Corinthians 2:1-17 10-11-09

Paul’s emotions must have been on a roller coaster by this time. From personal pain and distress to the trouble at Corinth. His heart continued to break. The church at Corinth had disciplined the guilty man and now he has returned in repentance. The church needed to know what to do next.
