Scripture of the Week:  
It's Your Season
 
Isaiah 43:18-21(The Message)
 
Forget about what's happened;
   don't keep going over old history.
Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new.
   It's bursting out! Don't you see it?
There it is! I'm making a road through the desert,
   rivers in the badlands.
Wild animals will say 'Thank you!'
   -the coyotes and the buzzards-
Because I provided water in the desert,
   rivers through the sun-baked earth,
Drinking water for the people I chose,
   the people I made especially for myself,
   a people custom-made to praise me.

Lock-in 
 
The LWCC Youth Ministry hosted its fall lock-in on Friday, October 23 under the direction of Deacon Anderson White.  Over 250 youth attended the lock-in which was held at LWCC.  The youth participated in fellowship, games, basketball, movies, and a dynamic prayer service led by Youth & Young Adult Pastor, Michael Drane.  Thirty-four young people dedicated their lives to Christ during the prayer service.  That's 34 new souls!  To God be the Glory!!!
~A Special Thank You~
 
 
Dear Bishop Benjamin,
 
   On Behalf of my family we can't thank you enough for your prayers and support during our mother's illness.  Your financial contribution made to our mother in July did not go unnoticed.  We thank you so much. 
   We thank God for you Bishop Benjamin.  Thank you for the apostolic proclamation given at my mother's homegoing celebration.  It meant so much.  Pease extend my regards to Pastor Maudine and the entire Light of the World Christian Church family. 
   Bishop Benjamin, there has never been a time that I have called upon you and you have not been so gracious to my family and my church.  Thank you.
   As we continue to grieve the passing of the matriarch of our family Delores "Sugar" Poindexter, please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.  If ther is is anything we can do for you, Beverly and the church know we are ther for you.  You were special to "Sugar".  Your deeds demonstrate how special she was to you.
 
Again, we thank you.
 
Sincerely,
Carla R. Poindexter
