LFA Says Goodbye to Pastor Jamie and Jen Austin

Pastor Jamie Austin has taken the position of Lead Pastor at Woodlake A/G in Tulsa, OK. He has faithfully served LFA for nearly 10 years. He and his family will be greatly missed. We pray God's blessings over them and the church in Tulsa.

Pastor Don has plenty of good things to say about Pastor Jamie.

Well wishes from many congregants

Noelle and Matt Hall will be joining the Woodlake pastoral team in a couple of weeks, when Matt assumes the role of Worship Leader. We are very proud of this couple, too!

MOB Family Fun Day

LFA's Men of the Bible (MOB) sponsored a Family Fun Day at the Haubrick's home Saturday. Floyd Williams and Kenny Climes did the griling. Great food, fun, and fellowship. Some rode horses, some of the kids took a dip in the pool, some played horseshoes, and some enjoyed the indoor game room. Everyone had a great time!

Making Crepes at G-Cuisine

This video clip shows you how much fun the ladies had who attended the first fall session of G-Cuisine. We seemed to have an "expert" crepe maker among us that night...Anna Marie had surely done this before!

We will meet again the Fri. Oct.2. All Girlfriends are invited to join us for the fun. All you need to do is R.S.V.P. so we prepare enough food. Our theme for October will be "Pumpkins!" We will explore all kinds of recipes using pumpkins. We would love to have your recipes. Contact Linda for more details.

Pursue the Dream Rally

Tonight was an update rally to "Pursue the Dream" for LFA's new children's wing. It was a great night of vision casting, food, fun, and fellowship. Lawton First Assembly is a great Sunday night place to be!

Welcoming Home Our Troops

We recently were privileged to be in a "Welcome Home" Ceremony for some of our LFA members who serve in the National Guard and have just completed their tour of duty in Iraq. We appreciate all that our troops do to serve our nation. God Bless America.

We had a great time of fellowship at the Barnes home Sunday night after service. What a great staff. Those not pictured were out on the deck. It was already after the sunset, so no pictures!
