Hogwarts Mystery Camp Collection
We are getting ready for Hogwarts Mystery Lakeland Camp 2022 and are in need of your help. Throughout the next several months, we may be asking for donations of items necessary to make the props and games for Lakeland Camp. Right now we're asking for card board paper towel rolls, picture frames, and spray paint (new or used) especially brown. We prefer frames that have an old feel to them and not smaller than for a 4 x 6 photo. Bring your donations to the bins located on the coffee bar. Thanks for your donations!
If you have any questions, please contact Beth Settle at beths@lakelandcommunity.org

Dan Wilburn: The Pearl of Great Price: Lakeland’s Value of Sacrifice
In 1995 I sold the value that seeking friends are worth any price. And so Lakeland pays the price of sacrifice. Do we still love our seeking friends? I believe more than ever that the western modern world is on a quest. Will the church explore and answer this quest, or will it devolve into the religion of scribes and pharisees? Our mission remains: “To build a community of authentic followers of Christ.”

Dan Wilburn: Trail Mix: Community of the Present
What is a Christian community? It is a single functioning Body of Christ. It is thrown together as a stew, which cannot be taken apart. It is a gathered tale, a story in the midst of journey – together. As such it is full of ups and downs, “fruits and nuts.” Therefore, to “high-grade” out who belongs and who doesn’t, is a violation of the One Body of Christ.
