JULY 2010 NEWS:
Thank You! Vacation Bible Camp was a wonderful
experience. We had 44 children here at the church at over 34
different youth and adult volunteers. What a week! This was our
first “all day” VBC and we learned a lot on how to improve for
next year. A special THANK YOU to all of you who came out,
brought in food and gave money. The week was a huge success
thanks to you!
KIRK NIGHT
Kirk Night - June 2nd , 16th & 30th at 5:30 p.m.
You can enjoy the catered supper for $5 per adult, $3 per child
10 and under
($15 maximum per family).
This summer we are excited to offer intergenerational
activities on Kirk Nights, our Wednesday evening program.
June 2 and June 16 we will be looking at “Ways to Pray”. We will
discover different ways to draw closer to God through different
activities. You will leave with helpful tips on how to
incorporate what we learn into daily living.
On June 30th we are blessed to have very special guests. The
Wilkins will be here! Wayne and Karen Wilkins have been serving
with Campus Crusade for Christ for 19 years. Most of those
years were spent leading the ministry here at FSU. Recently,
they have had the opportunity to work in Orlando and at UCF, the
5th largest university in the country. The main focus of their
ministry is to figure out how to engage the growing population
of non-churched, non-believing people who live here in America
through small groups of gospel communities that reach out to
their friends and neighbors. In this process, they have also
planted a new kind of church of neighborhood missionaries
consisting of students, adults, non-believers, and new
believers. The gateway to all they are doing has started with
Christians choosing to actually love and serve those who walk,
shop, drive, work, and live around them. Join us on Wednesday,
June 30, to hear about what God has taught them, how you can
begin to live a little more like Jesus in your every day life,
and what their prayer and financial needs are at this time. We
will collect a love offering for their ministry this evening.

MESSAGES IN JUNE:
June Fellowship Luncheon – Entrée to be sent to Malawi ???
The Mission Committee will again donate the entrée budget for
the June fellowship lunch to Pastor John and Florence Gondwe in
Malawi. This money plus the “soup pot” contributions from the
generous luncheon attendees will be sent to the Gondwes for
extra expenses they have in feeding the neediest parishioners
who knock on their Manse door. The relatively small amount that
we budget for the luncheon entrée goes a very long way in Malawi
kwachas. We ask LPC members to pull out all their wonderful main
dish recipes to go along with the usual side dishes and
desserts. We will enjoy and celebrate our tasty abundance that
is commonplace to us here in Tallahassee while painlessly
reminding ourselves of our friends in Malawi. Malawians rejoice
in God’s goodness daily, but especially once a month when there
is a skinny Sunday chicken to add to their daily rice or nsima
(ground maize flour) meal. Our contributions provide more
chickens, rice and other staples for this African pastor and his
congregation.
Please note: when we send funds or packages to Malawi, we mail
them to someone in the US who is traveling to that area, and
they then deliver our letter or package directly and personally.
This is our Malawi Network in the Presbyterian Church. We hope
this particular money will be delivered by former mission
workers and friends of Lafayette Church, Bill and Beth Rule,
when they travel to Malawi in July. Thank you in advance for
your part in this gracious sharing with our Malawi partners.

MAY 2010 NEWS:
HOLY WEEK APPRECIATION
Our special Holy Week Services from Monday, March
29th through Saturday, April 3rd, were planned and organized by
Beth and Alan House, and we thank them deeply!
During the first three days of Holy Week, special
noon-day and 6 pm services brought us into the heart of the
disciple Judas through dramatic presentations, readings and
prayer.
Maundy Thursday Service was a remembrance of the Upper
Room experience, and a renewal of our living connection with God
through Holy Communion.
Good Friday evening, a Tenebrae Service (of
Shadows), we shared Scriptural readings and meditation as the
church was darkened. On Holy Saturday, a night-long
Great Vigil of Easter in prayer continued until the
celebration of the Sunrise Service announced that “Christ is
Risen!” May we always hold this truth in our hearts, minds,
spirits.
We thank the Morning Circle, Evening Circle, Women of the
Word Circle, the Deacons, Tim Smith, and Ken Norman - and all
who provided the soup and sandwich lunch and suppers before each
service. Especial thanks to Howell Winfree and his team
for preparing our Easter Sunrise Breakfast!
Thanks to Jim Creighton for his part in the dramatic
presentations.
Thanks to the members of the Worship Committee for
appropriately arranging the sanctuary symbols and cloths, palms,
lilies, and the Communion elements for our many times of
worship.
MESSAGES IN MAY:
Dr. Lown will present messages emphasizing the how-to
aspect of knowing God, how “to make God real to you.” These
