Dear Church Family,
We have embarked on an amazing capital campaign to renovate, improved, and rise up the level of excellence our students deserve at KSCS. Lewisville has made a commitment to this school for almost three decades, and its appreciated, by so many. However, we are renewing our commitment to the school by asking everyone to pitch in with a financial gift to allow us to accomplish the items listed above. We don't ask that you take from tithe or church budget offerings, but pray about the more God may impress you to give for the improvements of our school.
We currently have an anonymous matching donor who will match $1 for every $1 given, up to $20,000! Yes, and we have already raised close to $4,000 in the past ten days which will be matched. Our immediate goal is another $6,000 in the next 15 days so we can begin the physical renovations immediately after school is out. If we can raise a total of $10,000 in another two weeks, our donor will send the first $10,000 to have the $20,000 in the funds for renovation as we begin.
How can you give? If you give through Adventist Giving, you will note there is now a special spot to mark a gift to the KSCS Campaign. If you give through the tithe envelope, please mark "KSCD Campaign" on the envelope clearly. You may also give a check directly to the school, but please make sure it is identified for "KSCS Campaign", or it will go to the general fund for the expenses.
We must rise up to the level of excellence our community deserves, and expects, from our school, if they will consider bringing their children to attend. Our students deserve the best also, and we will give it to them on several levels, as you can see. Thank you for praying about what God may ask you to give. Stretch, if He is asking, He can provide. And do this, share with others also, as many have a heart for Adventist Education and may want to give a gift accordingly. We represent the only opportunity for anyone north, and west, of the D/FW Airport to be a part of Adventist Education, and we are going to provide it in excellence, knowing the best is still to come!

Baptisms this Sabbath!!!!!!! Bring your celebration with you, God is! There will also be another baptism opportunity on June 1, if you are ready yourself! We encourage all who are preparing for baptism, or have been baptized, to be part of the new "Start Here" class, giving a great study on the Word, and learning it deeper.

Broken record that I am, or a playlist on repeat, I must encourage EVERY member to do their spiritual gifts assessment, if you haven't done so already. It can be easily accessed online at www.knowmygifts.me, or by paper copy, with results emailed in to office@lewisvilleadventistchurch.org. If you do the assessment online, the preferred method, please note you must complete every line on the initial page, and when you begin the assessment itself, complete every question. It is best to block off the 25-30 minutes and complete, rather than saving and trying to access again.
The work of the Ministry Placement Team must begin soon, but we have only received minimal responses for the spiritual gifts assessments. Please make this a priority. God has called each member to be on mission for Him, and we desire to engage every member in the work of the church by matching gifts, skills, and passions with the areas of ministry available. We don't do this to serve ourselves, we do this to serve others, and to be a church welcoming to the community around us. YOU are a valuable part of the mission of Lewisville, please let God use you!

I would ask that all of you be in prayer for our constituency meeting this coming Sunday, as we elect our officers and leaders for the Texas Conference, who will serve for the next four years. Our delegates our: Francisca, Authia, Reba, Suni, and Greg, as well as your weird pastor. You never know what might transpire with this group!
_______________________________________________________________________
Our Strategic Planning Committee is coming into the home stretch of their work, and I must tell you it is exciting to see what God has been doing with this group. The mission, vision, and values that have been recommended to the church-at-large our beautiful, and inspiring. The committee is at work on the actionable part of the plan, and how the church will focus their energies on God's work for the next five years. I am sure of this, the BEST days of Lewisville are coming.
I can see it, feel it, and the energy of what is taking place is palatable.
Do you feel it? Hmmm, do you?????
_______________________________________________________________________
Be safe through the rest of the week, and enjoy the blessings you have received from God. Better yet, be a blessing to someone else also, spreading the wealth!
See you Sabbath!
