LAKESHORE SCHOLARSHIPS – LABC supports our commitment to the continuing education of our members and families through a scholarship program. If you would like to support the program, donations are accepted throughout the year and, like all donations to the ministries of the church, are tax deductible. If you are a student, application forms are available in the church office and the deadline for submission is July 15.
BTS (Back to School) BACKPACK SUPPLY DRIVE – We invite you to support our Backpack Drive by donating funds and supplies, by volunteering as a BTS shopper, or helping assemble backpacks. A list of needed supplies will be available for purchase, and donations can also be made in the Narthex. Your contributions of essential school supplies can illuminate the path to success and empower Oakland students with confidence. Join us on July 26 to help fill the backpacks that will be gifted to those in need. Thank you for your generosity in advance!

LABC ALL CHURCH RETREAT
August 7-9
Join with your church family as we gather at Redwood Glen for a weekend of connecting with ourselves and one another as we continue this new journey in the life of Lakeshore. Rev. Dr. Sam Kim, Executive Associate Minister of Innovation and Design for Evergreen, will be facilitating our adult sessions. As we continue to move forward in this time of transition, how do we discern together the new work that God is doing in our midst? This is a question for individuals and for our greater community of faith. So, consider joining us with Rev. Dr. Kim as we process and reflect together on how we discover and follow the movement of the Holy Spirit. We hope you will feel empowered, refreshed, and encouraged in our time together!
