Weekly Update - 7/18 - 9:11pm

What a great day at Lamar Avenue!  There were LOTS of visitors here for Friends & Family Day.  Over 200 had lunch after worship and the foyer was FULL of those watching the illusionist, Todd McKinney.  It was a great success!  Thanks to Kyle Jones and his group for the wonderful lunch!  Thanks also to Tanya Welch for coordinating the fun time the kids (and adults) had with Todd.
Patrick continued his 5th lesson in the series "His Story/My Story".  He reminded us of the story of the Prodigal Son and how God always welcomes us home!  Thanks Patrick for your wonderful messages each Sunday!

WELCOME:  To Charles, Leslie, Katie & Bud Wampler.  They've been attending with us for a while now, and have decided to make LACOC & Paris their home.  Charles is out of the country quite a bit, but Leslie will be here with us.  Their son Bud is a recent graduate of M.I.T. and will leave soon to work overseas also.  Their daughter Katie is continuing her education at Texas Tech.

SCHOOL BACKPACKS:  It's time to start thinking about backpacks for the kiddos at Justiss Elementary. Charlotte Grooms stated that: "I will be glad to take cash if people had rather do that. It makes the kids feel special to get a new backpack. I watch the adds and lot of times you can get 2 for the price of one."
