Director's Note - Lord, as doors are opened, grant me the vision to see
them, the courage to pass through them, and the love to share your Word
with everyone I find. Amen

LSM Program Notes
- Welcome to this first issue of Lighthouse, the monthly newsletter
of lay speaking in the Metro Region.
- “Rethink Church” will introduce a great deal of change.
- Lay Servant is the new name our conference is using for Lay
Speaker.
- How many leaders do we need? Maybe the real question is “Can your
church do more for God?” Rapid growth will create communication issues.
We have created a new position - Advocate - to address those issues.
- The Google group “metro-lsm”, is the primary communication
channel for Metro Region LSM.

Servant Note - Look here next month for a highlight of a Lay Servant.

Ministry - Look here next month for a highlight of a ministry led by Lay
Servants.

Calendar - Saturday, June 6 & 20, 2009, 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. a Lay
Speaking Basic Class (first course) and a Preaching Class will be
offered at Oak Creek Community UMC. See details at the URL above.

Your servant in Christ,
