Children’s Staff. The Sonlight elementary ministry is looking for about 5-6 additional staff members to help with the weekly ministry to the kids. If you are a member at LBC and would like to serve, please contact Abram Kim or Mike Chon for more information.
MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES:
Care Month. February has come, and that means that it’s Care Month! Look around! There are opportunities everywhere to build up our Lighthouse church family! Check out the foyer for ideas!
Healthy Snacks for the Pastoral Staff. During Care Month, you can encourage Pastor Patrick and the pastoral interns (Roger Alcaraz, Ryan Short, Jonathan Yang, Josh Liu, and Cesar Vigil-Ruiz) by bringing them snacks and/or meals throughout the week (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Fridays). You can receive more details when you sign up in the foyer or contact Yuen Kwong (yuenk16@gmail.com).
Fun in the Sun Day (FITS). On Sunday, March 6, the Care Ministry will be hosting a Fun in the Sun Day event at the church beginning at 1:00pm. This will be a great time of fellowship with the church family. All are encouraged to attend! Lunch will be served for $5/person (children and youth eat free!).
Ultimate Frisbee. Lighthouse Bible Church will be participating in the Hope Harvest International ultimate frisbee tournament on March 26. This is a co-ed tournament so we are looking for both men and women to participate. All skill levels are welcome to participate. Official practices will start after the Ladies’ Mission Bowl. Please contact Teddy Yu for more information (yu.teddy@gmail.com).
Convalescent Home Ministry. There is a group that visits a convalescent home in the Hillcrest area on Tuesdays to minister to the elderly. Please contact Teddy Yu for more details or if you would like to get involved (yu.teddy@gmail.com).
Homeless Ministry. There is a great ministry opportunity available to you every other Sunday! Twice a month, a group goes out to Pacific Beach Presbyterian Church to help feed the homeless and needy. The ministry generally runs from 3:00-6:00pm; the first half is spent preparing the food and the second half is spent serving food and cleaning the kitchen. Contact Joyce Kang for more information on how to get involved with this ministry (joycekang84@gmail.com).
Cleaning Ministry. The cleaning ministry is currently looking for more servants to help tidy up the church on the weekends. This is an invaluable ministry to the church. Talk to Andy Shin if you are interested in joining the crew.
