NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER
Thursday, May 7, 2015
Join us for a service of prayer, scripture, music
and contemplation. 5:30—7:00 pm in the
Sanctuary.
Our theme for 2015 is Lord, Hear Our Cry, emphasizing the
need for individuals, corporately and individually, to place
their faith in the unfailing character of their Creator, who is
sovereign over all governments, authorities and men. To
further highlight our theme, we’ve chosen I Kings 8:28 as
our Scripture for this year: “Hear the cry and the prayer
that your servant is praying in your presence this day.”

Stephen Ministers are the “After People.” They are with you after
the personal relationship has crashed; after the retirement or
relocation; after the loss of a loved one...the list goes on and on. A
Stephen Minister is your own confidential listener and will meet
with you on a weekly basis for as long as the difficulty exists. A call
to Pastor Brent in the church office is the first step to having your
own, personal Stephen Minister to help you through a difficult time.

MUSIC NOTES
The Chancel Choir presented our
annual Choral Good Friday
Tenebrae Service on Friday, April 3
in our Sanctuary. We combined our
Chancel Choir with the Lake Travis
United Methodist Church Adult
Choir and had a unified choir of 64
voices accompanied by a chamber
orchestra of 13 members. This
meaningful and moving service has become a treasured
tradition in the Lake Travis community and we had 401
persons worshiping in our Sanctuary on Good Friday.
This service gives opportunity for each of us to remember
and meditate on the terrible suffering and loving sacrifice
Christ was willing to make for each one of us as He went
to the cross to take away our sins.
The Chancel Choir is growing! We have had
four new members since January 1 and two folks who have
sung with us before have returned for a total growth of six
members. Why don’t you join us as well? If you have ever
sung in a choir before, if you like to sing, but have never
sung in a choir before, whether you can read music or not
– come join us. We rehearse each anthem six weeks in
advance of singing it in church and we have strong singers
who can help you learn your part. We rehearse each
Wednesday evening from 7:00 – 8:30 in the Choir Room.
Come be a part of this exciting community of singers who
want to praise God together!
Our 8:15 & 11:00 Easter Sunday Worship was
led by our Chancel Choir, our brass quintet, and For His
Glory. They also led the beginning of the 9:30 Sanctuary
Service. David Beussman and the Sanctuary Praise Band
led the rest of that service. In addition, Justin Garrett and
the Fellowship Hall Band led two fully-attended worship
services at 9:30 & 11:00 on Easter. We had 1674 people
attending The Lakeway Church in five excellent and
celebrative services give their worship and praise to God
on Resurrection Sunday! Christ Is Risen Indeed!!
Your spiritual growth is of vital importance to our church. Whether you’re just starting to explore the Christian faith, or
you’re a long-time follower of Christ, we want to do everything we can to help you on your spiritual journey. That’s why
we need your help.
We’re asking you to take an online survey that asks questions about your spiritual life and the role our church plays in it.
Since the survey touches on a wide range of thought-provoking issues, you should anticipate needing 35 - 40 minutes to
complete it. This survey is completely anonymous. An expert third-party research organization will compile your input
with responses from others, so your survey will not be viewed individually.
The Lakeway Church is unique in that we have such a wonderful, wide diversity among our members. It is very important
for everyone to participate so that we can get the most accurate picture of where we are as a church.
Thanks in advance for your time and contribution to this tool that will help us understand our church’s role in your spiritual
life. Look for an instructional email on Saturday, May 9, the first day the survey will be live. It will be available for two
weeks, through May 24. Please use this link to access the survey—and pass it along to all your friends who call The
Lakeway Church their church home.

GLOBAL OUTREACH REPORT
Mark & Les Harper—Pro-Vision in Mozambique
A peek into the lives of Les & Mark:
We do not miss electricity, and have L.E.D lights working
off batteries charged by solar panels on our roof, thanks to
Mark’s excellent practical skills.
Each morning, Les gets up early to read her Bible and pray
before feeding and watering the pigs and dogs. Mark has
his devotions, exercises and then waters our vegetables, or
collects our drinking water if needed. We have running
water from a solar pump from the neighboring Bethel
Camp site, but this cannot be used for drinking so we fetch
drinking water in containers from the local well/ water
supply tank, as needed.
The day’s program then begins – if it involves a church or
orphan house building or water project, we will leave home
around 6.30, but if it involves a mentoring appointment, we
normally leave around 8.30. We live around 45min drive
from town, but most of our mentees live in villages, some
of them quite remotely situated. Some days we spend many
hours in the car, and are thankful for Les’ little Suzuki 4x4,
purchased from a retiring missionary. It is old but runs well
and even has aircon!
Some days, we have appointments with government
representatives concerning the providing of care for the 20
orphans we mentor and disciple, or are involved in
organizing materials or delivering food or school supplies
needed by these children. Other days, we may help with a
medical need of an orphan, one of the elderly widows, or
the pastors or their wives, in one of the villages in our
province. On other days, we spend time printing and
binding the study materials we use for our training, or
purchasing Bibles and food for upcoming courses.
Admin and communication takes
quite a bit of our time, Mark doing
the filing and organizing and Les
operating Quickbooks and updating
our website (www.harpersministry.com) The Pro-Vision
website will soon also be available.
One or two days a week, Les and
Pastora Joana, from the Baptist
church one village away from ours, spend all day working
on Bible Study translations, first from English into
Portuguese, and then from Portuguese into Changana.
Once or twice a month, over weekends, we have Bible
training for local churches. This is usually held in a local
church, though we occasionally hire the Bethel Centre and
bring many churches together for a combined training
course. We take both these types of training further afield,
as funds and time allow, using our outreach trailer for
longer trips, about three
times per year.
We hope you have enjoyed
catching a glimpse of what
our everyday life looks like
– thank you for the privilege
of being able to serve the
Lord in Mozambique in this
way – we are truly blessed
and happy in our work, and
so appreciate your prayers
and financial support.
Love, Mark and Les Harper
The Lakeway Church has a beautiful columbarium available to
church members as a resting place for their departed loved ones
AND as a quiet, contemplative garden in which to spend time with
the Lord. The Memorial Garden has 936 spaces and 338 are still
available for sale. Contact Jill Osborne in the church office for
info.

FROM
THE
ELDER DESK
The Elders continue to work on developing the
five-year plan that will set the course of our work
together. The target date to roll out the completed plan
is August. In April we began a review of our mission
statement and we are working with each of our major
areas of ministry to assure that they are aligned with
our stated purpose.
planned is a Discipleship Pastor with an emphasis on
young families. This job would oversee the discipleship
area of our church, including Home Teams, Sunday
School, mid-week studies, Women’s Ministry and Men’s
Ministry. The Discipleship Pastor will also serve as the
“Campus Pastor” for our Fellowship Hall services. Cris
Faught will take the lead in this job search.
In April and May, each of the staff members are
receiving a 360 review and they are developing personal
growth plans and setting goals for their ministry
areas. Terri Seifert, along with Steve Merrick, has
worked hard on this review plan that we have designed
to be an annual review process.
We continue to strive for excellence in the tech
area of Sunday mornings. We’re not there yet, but we
have made huge strides under the leadership of Terry
Priestap and JR Taylor.
In addition we are looking at staff additions for
the future. One of the staff additions that is being
Kent O’Brien is heading up a team that is looking
at facility needs for the future. The hail damage

You can overcome fear. Here’s living proof!
A story of how God can take even the worst
human tragedy and turn it into beauty...a story
that took over thirty years to write...a story that
will restore your hope and trust in God’s
goodness.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Shoebox Ministry
As part of TLC Global Ministry, we pack shoeboxes for Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas
Child in early November. Last year we were blessed to pack 1009 shoeboxes to send to needy
children around the world. Besides the gifts, the children and their families were presented the
Gospel in their own language and were given the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as their
Savior!
This year, 2015, we would like to again pack over 1000 shoeboxes with 1200 as our goal! We are blessed by a church
family which supports and contributes generously to this ministry. This year, TLC Children’s Ministry would like to pack
1000 bars of soap and washcloths in plastic bags as a service project during Vacation Bible School in June.
This project gives each of us a wonderful opportunity to contribute to VBS. During May, could/would you donate a
box of quart-size plastic freezer bags, a bundle of washcloths or a package of bar soap? Or smaller amounts?
We will place OCC bins in the Children’s Building, Fellowship Center and Narthex for
easy drop-off.
Melissa Alexander, Children’s Ministry Assistant, would also like for the children to write
notes to put in each shoebox. If you have any old appropriate greeting cards, would you
donate them, too? They will need a lot of help to prepare for packing 1200 shoeboxes!
Heartfelt thank-you’s from your OCC team leaders, Andrea Bieberich, Sharon Killey and
Alice Nelson.
