As we shared last week, some of our young adults are hosting a café in our church café space, where they will be giving away completely free café-style drinks and homemade pastries. The heart behind this event is to share the good news that God's love, grace, and forgiveness is not something we can earn or buy. Unlike everything else in this world, God freely gives that to us abundantly because Jesus has already paid the price.

To help make this happen, we're looking for our young adults to get involved by baking some goodies! If you're a young adult and you've got a great baking recipe, we'd love for you to contribute. Please connect with Sophie G by email at sophiegurski@gmail.com to let her know what you'd like to make and how much you can bring.

We'll be having another one of our summer picnic potlucks this upcoming Sunday August 2nd, after the service! These picnic potlucks are a great opportunity to spend some time together, whether you're outside enjoying the sunshine or inside enjoying the air conditioning. It's a chance to connect with people you already know and meet someone new!

What are the next steps? Well I am glad you asked! To make the picnic happen, we're asking everyone who is able to bring a picnic-style food to share - something that's easy to eat, doesn't require utensils, and is simple to share with others. *Please make sure all of the food is peanut free.*

As mentioned this past Sunday, our first Cold Drinks & Hot Topics gathering went very well and some great discussuions were had about our topic: Deconstruction and Doubt. Therefore, we are sharing the link to the video that we watched by Pastor Brian Buhler, for those that were unable to attend and would like to learn about what we discussed that day! Brian's talk is very courageous and caring as he speaks on this important and challenging topic, we hope you find this helpful for yourself or loved ones.

Our next gathering for Cold Drinks & Hot Topics will be on Tuesday August 11! We will meet in the church cafe at 7pm! Bring a cold drink and come to engage!

This event will engage a recorded teaching by Andy Crouch on "Technology and AI" followed by a facilitated conversation. We hope to see you there!

Lambrick Park Church partners with the Mustard Seed to prepare and serve a hot meal for more than 120 people in our community. More than just a meal, these evenings are an opportunity to extend hospitality, build relationships, and share Christ's love with those who may be experiencing hardship or isolation.

We are looking for help for the dinner happening Friday August 14! Whether you'd like to help prepare the meal, serve dinner, or simply be a welcoming presence, we'd love to have you join us. No previous experience is needed, just a willing heart to serve.
