Pastor's Message…
Dear Lake Wateree Family:
As we enter the month of August, we should be praying for all the teachers and children heading back or another school year. Through the generosity of Lake Wateree Baptist Church’s members, we have provided backpacks and school supplies for 31% of the students at Great Falls Elementary School.
You may have noticed a lot of changes at the church. God is working and we must keep up. So, changes have been made in that effort.
Phyllis Chesser has decided to retire from the Administrative Assistant position and we wish her well in her future endeavors.
I also wanted to thank all the staff and volunteers for their hard work over the past few months. Each one is truly God’s servant and I am proud to serve along side them! We are excited about all the plans God has
for the coming months at Lake Wateree. Please visit our website and Facebook page often so you can stay informed.
In His Service, Pastor Eric
Youth
The LWBC Youth C.R.E.W. is currently working through an amazing Bible study on the Book of Acts! We are learning how we can follow in the steps of the disciples and earliest missionaries as we hare the gospel with our families, friends, classmates and community! We are only on lesson 6 of 30, so there is plenty of time to join in this incredible study! Stay turned for upcoming youth events as well!

Young at Heart
We are studying the book of Jonah with Priscilla Shirer. Jonah had an interrupted life that became a Divine Intervention by God. Jonah was the only prophet that ran from God. We do that in our lives as well don’t we? We run sometimes when God has plans for us. Sometimes God just derails us so that we can get back in alignment with Him and His purpose for us! These interruptions are God’s way of molding us for what HE has planned. God will never give us a task without equipping us for the work He is asking of us! May God bless you richly and if HE has sent a big fish your way…embrace it and be thankful for the things to come! I hope you come join us for the fabulous study of Jonah!

United Faith Class
The United Faith Class has been using the Gospel Project Curriculum through Lifeway. This study is a five year chronological study through the Bible. It focuses on discipleship for the Christian Believer, focusing on applying the scriptures to living our lives in today’s world It is written so that students can join in at any time and not feel like they have missed part of the studies. Please join us!

Great News!
We will be starting a new class on Sunday mornings during the Sunday School hour. Raymond Snuffer and Danny Morrison will be leading a class on the ‘End Times’. Our plan is to start the class on September 17. Please
mark your calendars and plan to attend this class. The end of this age is almost 2,000 years closer than it was when Jesus died on the cross. Do you know the signs of the end times? You will find out in this exciting class.
“If you are praying, but not studying God’s Word,
you are having a one sided conversation.”
