Community Easter Eggs-change

LC3

Thank you to all who helped with the Eggs-Change, named after the opportunity to exchange plastic Easter eggs for candy - while hearing about the love and truth of Jesus. There were several highlights as we interacted with our neighbors this year.

It is no small thing that we hosted LC3’s first-ever, two-campus outreach event! After going door-to-door around our Lacey campus, we were excited to serve 50 kids, parents, and grandparents.

At the Lakewood campus we were blown away by the turn out. We are estimating 390 people attended. But like Jesus, we host events for the one. A favorite moment was standing in the back with a mom as she watched her daughter. I walked up and introduced myself and asked if she had been to LC3 already. She said no, they had attended Trunk- or-Treat and now this. I learned she lived right next to the church and invited her to come in someday. Will you pray with me for this neighbor, all the neighbors near both campuses, and the ones near our homes?

There was something beautiful about the multi-generational joy. Cookie On The Face (pictured below) was led by our incredible youth pastors. Dads and kids alike were competing! There was a rigorous push-up contest in Lacey and cold brew flowing at both campuses.

Our youth group students made the gospel come alive with reenactments of the Easter story, kids left with joy, and parents were cared for.

I can’t help but pray that our next generation will seek out Jesus the way they sought out the eggs. I am grateful for our church for intentionally going into all the world - including to our neighborhoods!
