NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER “The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him” Nahum 1:7 Thursday, May 6, 2010 is the 59th Annual Observance of the National Day of Prayer. Like prior years, there will be two events. The traditional event at South Park, with worship and prayer at noon, and an evening service at Lawrence Heights Christian Church from 7:00-8:00 pm. Let’s join together with other congregations in Lawrence and pray for our city, state, country and leaders.

OUT OF HIDING WORSHIP EVENT Out of Hiding has never fit in to the typical rock band box. The group was born out of a hunger to express the reality of Jesus through music. Their songs blend alternative rock anthems with honest, hard-hitting lyrics to create a unique and powerful experience. The desire of every Out of Hiding event is to touch the heart of the Creator and build a platform for real life change for all who attend. We have the privilege to host Out of Hiding, here, at the Mustard Seed Church. April 30 will be a night of impacting worship and a time in the presence of our Lord. Join us at 7:00 pm as we worship the One who created us.

VACATIONS Pastor Pieter will be out of the office May 3-8 and Pastor Stan will be out May 5-8.

UPCOMING MEN’S EVENT… Join the guys Saturday, May 15, at 10:30 am at the Centennial Park, North East of 9th and Iowa. for some grilling and frisbee golf. Bring yourself, a frisbee and a friend. If you have any questions, please see or call Jeff White at 764-6055 or Terry Graves at 218-4960.

MEXICAN FIESTA A sincere THANK YOU to everyone who attended the Mexican Fiesta last Sunday. It was a fundraiser for youth missions and we raised $1,000!

We received a lot of positive feedback and are hoping to do this on a regular basis.
