difficulties of behavioral challenges.

The group meets on the second Tuesday of each month from 7:30 - 8:30 p.m. at the LOFC Community Outreach Center in Preston Plaza, 501 Spur 316, Suite 106.

The next meeting is on Tuesday, July 10, 7:30 p.m. at the LOFC Community Outreach Center, in Preston Plaza at 501 Spur 316, Suite 106, Pottsboro.

Parking -- walk a little way for a friend?
Some of our older members, those with health considerations, and those with little children would sure appreciate closer-in parking spaces being freed up. The north and south lots most of us use are getting full.

If you'd be willing to park in front of the elementary school off 120 or between the stadium and the middle school classroom building off Cardinal Lane, it would be a loving help to those who need closer access to the building.

Leap of Faith Church is independent of any denomination.  Inclusivity and diversity are honored by us; we are glad to be in ministry to and with all people. Working with our neighbors to make life better for us all is important to us. The main thing, though, is our shared faith in Jesus Christ and the new life he promises those who follow him.

To join LOFC as a member:  Please take a membership card from the registration pad on Sunday morning, read it, pray about your decision, and, if you'd like to join as one of our first members, fill out the card and return it to Virgie. Virgie will also be glad to email you the membership form.  Email, text, or call her with any questions --LOFChurch@hotmail.com, 903.821.9243.

PARKING INFO
at Pottsboro Middle School
 
We have four great parking options:
1. Off of 120 in directly in front of the middle school cafeteria building on the north side of the building -- if you can make the walk up the covered walkway, this is close and convenient.

2. Off of 120 directly in front of the elementary school -- it's a little bit more of a walk, but those who need to be closer to the entrance will appreciate your thoughtfulness in freeing up close-in spaces for them if you park here.

3. Off of Cardinal Lane on the south side of the middle school cafeteria -- it's close and convenient to the south entrance. Just remember to turn south on Cardinal and follow the signs.

4. If the south lot fills up, there's all that great parking on the huge lot near the football stadium. You can, of course, drop off passengers near the south entrance before you drive over to park.
