Next Steps Class

At our 8 year anniversary on Labor Day Sun we talked about doing an Ownership Re-commitment this year. 

Ownership is our version of membership.

To become an owner you need to go through our NEXT STEPS class and make the four ownership commitments.

The next Next Steps class is Sunday Nov 17th, right here, right after service. You can register by clicking HERE or put NEXT STEPS on a Connect Card on Sunday.

We will ask EVERYONE who is already an owner to re-commit by completing a new ownership form during Advent this year.

Gaithersburg Oktoberfest
Oct

Gaithersburg Oktoberfest

This is our biggest outreach opportunity of the year! We’ve been asked by the city of Gaithersburg to be water sponsors for the Gaithersburg Oktoberfest again. We will give away two pallets of water bottles, some RC swag, have a prayer station, and possibly more!

There will be no service at LPMS that morning as we’ll be out serving. Set up begins at 10am.

We'll have a volunteer sign up sheet Sunday on the resource table. We need 3-4 people at our booth for 5 hours, ideally a rotation so volunteers can enjoy walking around too. 

We are also looking for some balloon animal makers. Brian DeRose was awesome last year, but he was alone. If you either know how to make balloon animals, are willing to learn how to to, and/or know someone who does who might want to join us, let Steve or Pastor Ed know.

Keep this opportunity in prayer as we’ll get to meet thousands of people that day!
