A Change in the Distribution of the Lawndale Leader: In order to become better stewards of our resources, we will soon be streamlining our distribution of the Lawndale Leader via email to everyone for whom we have an email address. If you have recently changed your email address, or if you are not sure that we have your email, please send your new or updated information to cmckinney@lawndalebaptist.org, or call Carol McKinney in the church office at 288-3824. We realize that not everyone has email, so of course we will continue to mail the Leader to those of you who do not have an email account. You may also view the current Leader on our website at www.lawndalebaptist.org. This change will save the church money in postage and printing.
