LAKEPORT, Calif. – Join the Lakeport Christian Center in empowering youth to stand for Christ and press forward in this next school year expectant of what God can do in and through them amidst the enormous pressures they face.

Youth pastor Maria Rhoads invites the public to Lakeport Christian Center on Wednesday, Aug. 25, at 6:30 p.m., to participate in the “Press Forward” program.

People of all ages are encouraged to attend.

There will be worship led by the Lakeport Christian Center Youth Band, a skit by the youth and a special guest speaker, Stephen De La Cruz. A reception will follow the event.

“Press Forward” is based on Philippians 3:13-14, “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
