 May God bless you in this new day and through this Mother’s Day weekend.

 Please see the attached Five Minutes on Friday with the LPD, info on our upcoming “Cruise” on May 28, and also note the Character and Calling brochure.

 In the LPD/EFCC, we are united, not only in mission and doctrine. We are also united in our ethos – how we work together and the principles that we are committed to. Please note the attached document that articulates these principles.

 It is a beautiful morning on what promises to be a beautiful weekend. There is good news and bad news in this.

 The good news is that with great weather, everyone can get out and enjoy recreation. The bad news is that it might mean that many are not present on Sunday… Oh well, it has been a long, wet winter and spring, and good weather brings new opportunities to meet with neighbours and new outreaches. Each season brings fresh ministry.

 Please see the attached Five Minutes on Friday, with news and prayer items from your LPD family, and please also see the attached news on the upcoming Theological Summit (last chance to register), and our upcoming Pastor and staff Cruise on May 28.

 It is early Friday morning after a great day on Vancouver Island – meeting with the leadership of Central EFC, with Island pastors and convening an ordination council for Jake (Laura) Hron. Thanks for your prayers for this event. To see how it all went, you will have to see the attached Five Minutes on Friday…..

 Please also note the news and info on upcoming events in the LPD, EFCC and at ACTS Seminary.

 Sadly, we all know a leader, or at least know of a leader who has “fallen.” This is sad, but we also know that none of us is beyond this personally. I attach a link to a helpful article by Thom Rainer, who speaks to the signs of a leader who is about to fall. By God’s grace, may we all both serve and “end” well in both life and ministry. http://www.churchleaders.com/pastors/pastor-articles/166427-thom-rainer-signs-a-leader-is-about-fall.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=clnewsletter&utm_content=CL+Daily+20130423
