Lakeshore Pregnancy Center Prayer Partners Needed

From thetime we initially meet with them to the time they make that finaldecision is such a critical time. (It is our goal to provide them with anultrasound that we attempt to set up as quickly as possible, but isusually a few days) We feel strongly that having others praying forthese girls and for those counseling them is imperative. Is there a waywe can email you with the urgent prayer requests? There is a spiritualbattle out there for our girls and babies. Please join us in thisendeavor by emailingkari.wiersema@lpcenters.com. Thank you.

EASTER OUTREACH
This year, Easter will be celebrated on April 24
th
. On that day, God will prompt millions of people around the world to attend church. For some reason, people who don’t normally go to church will make adecision to do so on that day like no other time of the year. What canyou do?
Invite Your Friends
– Would you consider inviting your un-churched family and friends to church this Easter? They are all morelikely to say “yes” to an Easter invitation than at any other time of theyear. Hands down, personal invitation is the number one evangelismtool in the church. Would you commit to invite at least three un-churched friends and/or family members and let us know on yourConnection Card so that we can plan and pray?
Prayer
– If you are hesitant to invite people you know to church, youcan begin by taking the less-intimidating step of praying for yourfriends and the church during our Easter outreach. Would youcommit to pray daily for your un-churched family & friends and let usknow on your Connection Cards?
Day of Prayer & Fasting

nd
, as a public day of prayer and fasting for ourEaster services and outreach ministry.
