Untitled-2 1 1/24/17 11:55 AM 6 August 12, 2021 | www.lwsb.com I www.lwweekly.com y Religion Assembly of God Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Meandering along with no goal in mind can be fun for a while. But in the end, it is a frustrating, pointless, expense of energy. To exist with no purpose is not what God has intended for his church. Leisure World Assembly of God (LWAG) is a church with God’s purpose and intent for the church in mind. During August, Pastor Chuck Franco will preach a series titled “Defining Our Mission,” taken from LWAG’s newly formulated mission statement. On Sunday, Aug. 15, his sermon title is “Worship God Whole-heartedly.” The church is not a building. The church has always been defined as a community of believers. The goal of LWAG is to not merely exist as a club of people who share common faith, but be a dynamic, active, ministering part of the body of Christ. The Sunday worship services held at 10:30 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. The hymn sing is back, to the delight of those who enjoy sing- ing favorite hymns and childhood church songs, selected and sung by enthusiastic audience members. Pastor Chuck will share a short devotional at the end, and participants are encouraged to fellowship afterward. The hymn sing is always open to all Leisure World residents and friends. Join the fun at 6 on Sunday evenings in the Clubhouse 3 Lobby. The women’s Bible study, led by Linda Hernandez, meets Thursdays at 1 p.m. The Bible study is every Wednesday at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. The study in 1 Peter, titled “Journey into Hope, When Life FAITH CHRISTIAN ASSEMBLY Gets Tough,” offers encouragement and insight to the participants.

The Basic Rules of Sudoku: • There is only one valid solution to each Sudoku puzzle. The only way the puzzle can be considered solved correctly is when all 81 boxes contain numbers and the other Sudoku rules have been followed. • When you start a game of Sudoku, some blocks will be pre-filled for you. You cannot change these numbers in the course of the game. • Each column must contain all of the numbers 1 through 9 and no two numbers in the same column of a Sudoku puzzle can be the same. • Each row must contain all of the numbers 1 through 9 and no two numbers in the same row of a Sudoku puzzle can be the same. • Each block must contain all of the numbers 1 through 9 and no two numbers in the same block of a Sudoku puzzle can be the same.
