LFA Family Fun Fest








We had a great family night presented by the Children's dept. It was complete with fast paced music, games, prizes and an awesome illustrated sermon presented by our Early Childhood pastor, Lacey. Following the service families, enjoyed free food, games and even pony rides! Our best "guess-timate" of number in attendance is around 800. What a great place to be!

Branson Vacation





Our kids gave us an awesome Christmas present last December. A gift card for a night's stay at Chateau on the Lake. It is a gorgeous hotel with many amenities. We really enjoyed relaxing there. Thanks Heather and Sid, Brent and Lindsay!!! What a great gift! (You can do this one again sometime!!!!!!)

Tornado Warning During our Vacation





After most of the pastors had come back to Lawton on Wednesday, we began our vacation. We had settled in for a long night's rest but around midnight, we were awakened by the Hotel's sound system notifying all of the guests that a tornado had been sighted in the county, so we all went to the lower level of the hotel to wait out the storm. As you can see, Pastor Don took it all in stride.
