This Week | June 27 – July 3, 2025

June 29 | Ordinary People, Extraordinary God, 1 Samuel 1 and 2 – Hannah, Experiencing God’s Power – Pastor Mark Pospisil

Synopsis: Hannah was an amazing woman of faith. She faced many hardships in her life. There was a total lack of faithfulness toward God among her people and she was barren. Back then, if you were barren, it was viewed that something was deeply wrong with you. Some thought that you were even cursed. Despite all her adversities, she remained faithful and sought after the Lord. The Lord came through and not only transformed her but eventually the whole nation through her faith. It all started with Hannah’s prayer of desperation and seeking God.

Fighter Verse: 1 Samuel 2:9 – He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness, for not by might shall a man prevail.

What’s Happening?

FAMILY SERVICE – 6/29

5th Sunday at The Lakes means Family Service! There will be no Lakes Children program for Elementary Age (1st-5th grade) this Sunday. We invite children in this age group to worship together with their families this Sunday! Early childhood (ages Birth-Kindergarten) still available during both the 9:30am and 11:15am services upstairs.

BAPTISM – 6/29

Baptism is the natural next step once we are saved! It represents the new life that Jesus’ resurrection gives us and is a public sign of our faith in Christ. If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, we invite you to take this opportunity to demonstrate your faith in Christ.

We will have an opportunity to get baptized during all services on this Sunday. Please fill out this form to let me know you are interested in getting baptized!

40 DAYS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT – 7/1
Starting on July 1st, The Lakes Church is going to read through the New Testament in 40 days. It will be one of the best things for our spiritual growth this summer. We want everybody to be involved in seeking the Lord through His Word. Listen to what Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” All it takes is a small commitment to read through the New Testament in 40 days.
Make sure to pick up your bookmark this Sunday to keep track of your daily reading!
