Your gift is a sign of your faith and an investment in our community  

Dear Lakeside Family,

What a wonderful year of ministry we have shared at Lakeside! As I reflect on all that God has done among us, I am filled with gratitude for your faithfulness and generosity. Through your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness, you have helped Lakeside live out our mission to welcome home all our neighbors to grow in faith and serve Jesus Christ.

This year, we have celebrated baptisms, confirmations, and new members joining our church family. We have watched our children and youth grow in faith, supported families in our community, opened our doors to our neighbors, and strengthened relationships through worship, small groups, and fellowship. We have also faced challenges together, and your generosity has helped us meet those needs faithfully.

These are more than ministry accomplishments. They are stories of God's grace at work through you!

As we look toward 2027, I invite you to prayerfully consider your financial commitment to Lakeside for the coming year. Our stewardship campaign is about more than supporting a budget. It is an opportunity to respond to God's generosity and commit ourselves to the work God is calling us to do together.

Please complete the online Commitment Card below, indicating your intended financial giving for 2027. Your commitment helps our church leadership plan responsibly, support our ministries, and continue sharing Christ's love with our neighbors. Every commitment matters, and every gift makes a difference.

Thank you for your faithfulness and generosity. I am grateful for what God has done through Lakeside this year, and I look forward with hope to all that God has in store for us in 2027!

Grace and Peace,

Rev. David Johnson
Pastor, Lakeside United Methodist Church
