April 9

by Jon Hathorn on April 09, 2020

I thought about myself and our church a little differently this morning. I was prompted by a little message from a pastor and author in Texas named Max Lucado. God gave us his best, even during the most difficult and challenging events of Holy Week. This is a great example for us to follow. Looking forward to our Good Friday service at 6:30, and also looking forward to our Easter Service on Sunday at 9:00am. Please join us at 8:45 for a little fellowship and chit chat time.

One last thought, there are so many great Easter Songs, some are new and some have been around for many years. I contacted a few people in the church to help add some extra music to your Easter Sunday, and anytime after 11:00 on Sunday, you can go to our LPC website and find a link for several special musical numbers. These are simple gifts from some of our people and I hope you will enjoy them. They were done on a variety of cameras and in a variety of locations. Bless you.

To God be the glory great things He has done.

About the Author

Jon Hathorn

As I child, I really wanted God to like me and I feared that I wasn't good enough for Him. During high school, I attended church camp. It was there that I realized I was sinner in need of God's grace. I prayed to God, admitting my sin, accepting His death on the cross for my sin, and asking Him to guide my life. I have lived here in Stockton all my life graduating from Delta and UOP, and eventually getting a Master's in Bible and Theology. It was during a mission trip that I met Bev, who became my wife, Our two daughters were born right here in Stockton. I have served the Lord locally in a couple of churches and as a high school Bible Teacher. I love encouraging other people, sharing the Word of God, watching sports, eating Mexican food and spaghetti, spending time with our family and going on walks with our grandson. Philippians 1:6 is the prayer of my life and it says, "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ."
