MISSION PRAYER FOCUS
Pray for...
Those that are homeless in our community.
The City of Laguna Beach provides a shelter
in Laguna Canyon, and relies on volunteers,
many from our church, to provide nightly
dinner meals. Please pray that the presence
of God feeds the spirit of these men and
women.
Casa Hogar, a home for children in Baja
California whose parents are unable to care
for them. The home is supported in part by
donations raised by LPC members Susan
and Don Campbell. They raise money by
offering cruises on their sailboat out of Dana
Point Harbor and sending the funds through
LPC to Casa Hogar. The money helps pay
for food, construction materials, and other
supplies.
LOCAL PRAYER FOCUS

desperate need of more
volunteers to prepare and
serve dinner. If you can
lend a hand for a few hours each month, it would
be greatly appreciated. These hours can also count
toward service hours for teens. Our teams volunteer at the Shelter on the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th
