Updated Thursday, November 6
I want to thank everyong who has taken the FREE spiritual gift assessment. Pastor Shannon and I have had several people share their results and I appreciate that! Remember, your are Designed To Shine; understanding and developing those spiritual gifts is a very important step! If you have not yet taken the inventory, I want to STRONGLY encourage you to take this assessment to get a better idea of how God has Designed you To Shine! Click here to start taking the inventory! Please feel free to email or call Pastor Shannon or me if you’d like to discuss further!
This coming Sunday we will continue our Designed To Shine series as we talk about 'service'. The crux of service is getting involved in our community and world. Please make plans to join us this Sunday and invite a friend as we talk about making a difference in our community and world through service.
As this series draws to a conclusion on November 16, we will be able to make a personal commitment to God as we open up the opportunity for persons to unite with the church in membership and make our pledges for supporting the church with our time, talents, gifts, service, and witness. I hope you will prayerfully consider how God is calling you to grow closer to Him and the church, because He has created you with a Design To Shine!
Hare are some of the things coming up in the life of our church:
Growth Sunday Is November 16: Last year we kicked off our Growth Sunday campaign as we each committed to grow closer to God and each other with the commitments we make to God regarding our finances and whole lives. This year, on Growth Sunday, we will be receiving estimate of giving cards for 2009 as well as official memberships at Lighthouse for the very first time! Start prayerfully considering how God is calling you to grow with us according to your Design To Shine.
Lighthouse Kids: Lighthouse Kids will resume this Sunday working on their new program, “TEACH”. Be sure to have your children exit following the offering next Sunday during worship. If you would like to help out with Lighthouse Kids, please contact Pastor Shannon at lighthousesk@bellsouth.net or Tiffany Jordan at jordan5@numail.org.
Pier 345: The next gathering of Pier 345 (our new ministry for children in the 3rd through 5th grades) will be 6:30pm on Friday November 7 at Steve and Susan Johnson's home in Peachtree City. The Johnsons live at 103 Middleton Drive in the Governor's Row subdivision directly across the street from McIntosh High School. For more information, contact Pastor Shannon at lighthousesk@bellsouth.net.
FOCUS Student Ministry: FOCUS Youth will gather this Sunday from 6-7:30 at the Totten’s home. We have many exciting things planned for the fall, so click here to see what’s on the horizon for our FOCUS student ministry.

Watchmen Men’s Ministry: The next gathering of The Lighthouse Watchmen will be 8:00am on Sunday November 30 at the PTC McDonald’s.

For more information, visit the Watchmen page, http://www.lighthousewatchmen.blogspot.com/.
Thanksgiving Turkeys Prepared by the Watchmen: Back by popular demand, the Lighthouse Watchmen will be deep-frying Thanksgiving turkeys this year, just in time for your holiday feast. The turkeys will be fried on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, making it possible for you to pick one up before heading out of town or receiving guests for the holiday. The cost for each turkey is $30, with proceeds going to provide turkey dinners for the needy in our community as well as public servants who must work over the holidays. Don't slave over a hot stove this year -- order your cooked turkey from the Watchmen and also help provide a Thanksgiving dinner for others in our community.
Food Collection for the Fayette Community Food Bank: As we approach the holiday season, we will be collecting non perishable food items to help stock the Fayette Community Food Bank. Over the next several weeks, please bring in your donations to help provide food for our community during the holidays and winter months.
Men's Softball: The men’s softball team only has two games left this fall season as they play at 8pm this Tuesday evening at the Meade Softball Complex on Rockaway Rd. just off HWY 74S. Pick up a picnic dinner and come out to support the guys!
