Thanksgiving & Sharing = Sanksgiving

Lakeside Lutheran Church Second Annual Sensational Dinner Spread is November 23

Last year, Pastor David, his lovely wife Amy, and their family were planning a festive celebration for those who would be alone on Thanksgiving. That’s when they invented the word “Sanksgiving – a combination of “Thanksgiving” and “Sharing.” 

This year, as the entire family of Lakeside Lutheran rejoices in the many blessings from Jesus, including the fellowship in celebration of Jesus’s Love for all, Lakeside Lutheran will hold its second annual Sanksgiving - on November 23, 2023, at Myer Hall.

To inspire all, here is a prayer written by the Pastor and his wife. 

0 God, when I have food, help

me to remember the hungry.

When I have work, help me to

remember the jobless. When I have

a home, help me to remember

those who have no home at all.

When I am without pain, help me

to remember those who suffer.

And remembering, help me to

destroy my complacency, bestir

my compassion, and be concerned

enough to help, by word and

deed, those who cry out for what

we take for granted. Amen.”

Serving the Venice community since 1954, Lakeside Lutheran welcomes all to come worship the Savior in a loving, friendly, comfortable atmosphere and to share the joy of Jesus with all.
