If you are willing to host a student, please reach out to Dr. Baker (glen.baker@forestlake.org) or Mrs. Lopez (gabriela.lopez@forestlake.org) for more information.
SERVE
Passionate Heart Ministries: Looking for retired teachers who are willing to tutor students in our community! We meet afternoons twice a week.
If interested, please contact Myriam Cunningham at Myriam@passionheartfl.org.
PRAYERS FOR STUDENTS
Do you have a passion for the spiritual lives of our students? High school can be a time of tremendous growth, but also anxiety. Every Wednesday, we write personalized notes (and add a cookie!) to the high school students in our church to let them know they are loved, valued, and prayed for. Join us at 8:15 in the Connection Center off the main lobby to help. If you have a student who does not attend FLA that you would like us to send a note to, please contact Christina Algeo at calgeo79@gmail.com.
PRAYER REQUESTS
The Staff at Forest Lake Church is always praying for you, but if there are specific prayer requests you would like mentioned during our worship services, please contact the church office at (407) 869-0680.
