Here’s WHAT’S HAPPENING at LSC this weekend!

May 9, 2011 · Jack Thomas

This weekend at LifeStone Church will be a very busy one!  I love “busyness” when it’s all about the Kingdom of God!  Let’s be busy for God’s Kingdom not for our own agenda.  Oftentimes I find that when I am busy for my own agenda, I am frustrated, overwhelmed, and not really taking the time to enjoy my life and the people in my life.  Can I be honest, I’m not really about that!  This is a busy weekend for sure, but it is all about the Kingdom of God….and I love that!!!  Here’s what’s happening: Read More →
