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.

Nursery, childcare and children's church are available.

Lakeport Christian Center is located at 455 S. Forbes St., near the Lake County Fairgrounds.

For more information call 707-263-4514 or visit the church online at www.lcchub.com.

LAKEPORT, Calif. – H&R Block in Lakeport recently made a substantial donation of nonperishable food to St. John’s Church Food Pantry, which had empty shelf space after unusually heavy demand over the holidays.

Volunteers who operate the Food Pantry say a great big "thanks" to Marjorie Anderson, her colleagues and customers at H&R Block, Lakeport, who collected and delivered this most timely donation.

The collaboration of H & R Block and St. John's Episcopal Church in Lakeport is an example of community efforts coming together to care for needy families.

Ongoing food donations to sustain St. John’s vital service are needed and appreciated.

“Families who cook meals are our key clients,” said Ginny Ingersoll, St. John’s parishioner and Food Pantry manager. “We focus on stocking nutritional food that is high-fiber, low in fat and sugar. We help create meals with recipes and food listed in a brochure by Grocery Outlet.

“Rice, tomato sauce, salsa and canned garbanzo, kidney and black beans are needed, along with oatmeal and applesauce,” she said. “Onions, garlic, apples, and carrots are also requested.”

Food donations are welcome at St. John’s during times coinciding with the church’s Basement Boutique Thrift Store open hours, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

To deliver food at other times, please contact Ginny Ingersoll at 707-245-3147 or Barbara Knight at 707-263-7802.
