La Canada Presbyterian Church Presents “Family on Mission”

In conjunction with Faith Missions Sunday, LCPC’s Growing Families this Sunday, April 10, 9:30 a.m. in Fellowship Hall, is about “Family on Mission” with guest speaker Alisa Medders.

“God’s message is clear… 1,500 times in the scriptures we read of God’s promise to bless all nations. We also read of God’s charge to serve others, make disciples and go to all nations, but have you ever truly asked yourself, What does this mean and how does this apply to my family? Come learn about God’s heart for all people and get practical ideas to put your faith into action while growing closer as a family.” – Alisa Medders

A recent graduate from Fuller Theological School, Alisa Medders obtained her degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.

With the help of her colleagues, Alisa created POUR OUT, a non-profit that focuses on providing mental health support and training to humanitarian workers all over the world. Her work has taken her to Mumbai, Kolkata, South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Uganda. Alisa’s love of writing and her desire to know God culminated in co-authoring three books. You can follow her on her blog, www.itstimetomeetbob.com where she shares about her trials, her joys, her children and her God.
