LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lake Ministerial Association (LMA) is pleased to announce that Angie Everhart, a 2011 graduate of Clear Lake High School, has won this year’s “Effective Ambassadors for the Kingdom” essay contest.
Individuals were invited to submit a three-page essay highlighting the work of someone who has inspired them in the areas of Christian unity, faith-based groups working together and/or anti-racism.
In the past this essay has been limited to Martin Luther King Jr. but this year for the first time students were invited to write about anyone who inspired them in any of the topic categories.
Angie wrote about local pastor Rev. Shannon Kimbell-Auth and how the community ministries of the United Christian Parish have effectively changed her life for the better.
Her essay also talks about the value of youth going on missions trips, community VBS programs and “Lake County CAN!” a food event coming to Lake County in March that will package 20,000 meals in two days as well as stock seven local food pantries.
Everhart will read her essay at the Celebration of Christian Unity on Sunday, Feb. 12, at 7 p.m. at United Christian Parish, located at 745 N Brush St. in Lakeport.
In addition to hearing Everhart's winning essay, participants in the celebration will be treated to a variety of musical offerings from local churches and individuals.
Wing and a Prayer will open the celebration encouraging people to make a joyful noise together, Father Ron Serban will share his original song “We Are One,” Pastor Randy Brehms will tickle the ivories and United Christian Parish's Chancel Choir will share a special anthem, “Beyond Ourselves,” that is sure to inspire. All are invited to join.
This celebration is sponsored by the Lake Ministerial Association: First Baptist Church of Upper Lake, Chaplains of Sutter Lakeside Hospital, Galilee Lutheran Church, Gateway Church in Finley, Kelseyville Presbyterian Church, Lakeport Seventh Day Adventist Church, Lakeport Christian Center, St. John’s Episcopal Church, St. Mary’s Catholic Church and United Christian Parish.

The service begins at 11 a.m. at the Kelseyville Methodist Church, 3810 Main St. in Kelseyville.
Guest speaker Carrie Knowles-Hance says of the service, “As tens of thousands of servicemen and women return from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, we need to understand their wounds that go beyond PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury, and wounds to the body. To bring the warriors all the way home, they need a community that can heal with understanding and empathy.”
This service will consider how we may become that community.
Dr. Knowles-Hance, a former resident of Lake County, graduated from Starr King seminary in 2010 and is a candidate for fellowship as a Unitarian Universalist minister. She describes herself as a “recovering psychologist and recovering attorney.”
During seminary, she served as chaplain at Napa State Hospital, and at Stanford and UCSF Medical Centers.
Her current work is with veterans, serving as chaplain to Swords to Plowshares in the San Francisco Presidio, consultant to the Coming Home Project, and member of the Board of the Interfaith Center in the Presidio.
Guests are encouraged to attend the service to learn more about the traditions of Unitarian Universalism.

LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Christian Center will welcome guest missionaries on Sunday, Jan. 22, during the church's 10:30 a.m. morning celebration service.
Dan and Kathy Stump have been Assemblies of God missionaries since 1983 and have served in southern Spain and Naples, Italy pastoring churches for American military personnel.
Next they ministered for 10 years in the island nation of Malta where they served the national church as superintendent, director of ICI/Global University Malta, and in church planting.
They have served in Barcelona, Spain since 2002, where they pastor the International Church of Barcelona.
The church is vibrant and youthful, in a city where more than 30 nations come together in a metropolis of five, with internationals and immigrants making up at least 12 percent of the population.
The Stumps feel that the International Church equips people to reach out to the nations.
