LIFELAND IS HAVING A SIGNIFICANT MAKEOVER for the NEW SEASON (2015-2016)!

We hope you and the children you have brought have a wonderful time at LifeLand for the 2015-2016 season!  LifeLand indoor playground has been apart of the Lanigan & area region for 7 years and have seen 1000s of people visit.

For this NEW SEASON (2015-2016), LIFELAND IS HAVING A SIGNIFICANT MAKEOVER!

 One of the BIG changes is that we are NOW OPEN FOR ALL AGES!  For many years we have been pre-school targeted only and that has changed.  There will be some bouncers that will be "pre-school only" but the rest are for everyone.  We have found that children ages 12 and enjoy LifeLand the most.

PLEASE read the following information to be informed of the positive changes going on this year.


LifeLand HOURS as of NOV 1st: (subject to change)
Tuesday:   10 a.m. - 3 p.m, 6:30-8 p.m.
Wednesday: 10 a.m. - 3 p.m, 6:30-8 p.m.
Thursday:     10 a.m. - 3 p.m 
Friday:         Closed
Saturday (one a month):  11 a.m. - 4 p.m.




EXPECTATIONS  AND GUIDELINES

Please take a moment to review the items below, as some of our procedures have changed in order to serve you better: 


1. Everyone must fill out the waiver form (SEE BELOW) outlining your agreement to the responsibilities you have as a supervising care giver while at LifeLand.  Please read it carefully, sign and initial it, and return it to the information desk.  NOTE: ALL WAIVERS ARE GOOD FOR ONLY THE CURRENT SEASON (NEW WAIVERS REQUIRED FOR THE 15/16 season.   Waivers can be picked up at LifePoint Church (40 Baun Street) and brought in when you come or filled out in the office.

2. As LifeLand is unsupervised, children are not to be left at LifeLand alone.  Adults are encouraged to be active with the children in their care and PLAY together (we discourage sitting and texting)   Activity is good for everyone!

3. Our goal for LifeLand is to make it available to whomever would find the facility useful.  For this reason, there is no charge for play.  However, the expenses incurred to offer this opportunity include: paid setup and tear down crew every week, lights and heat, equipment upkeep, repairs, expansion, administrative staff, flooring coverage for safety, PLUS MORE!  Donations are suggested at $5 per child/visit. Envelopes are available at the information desk for this purpose, as well as, a drop box.  Please make cheques payable to LPC (LifePoint Church).  Please include your full mailing address.  We encourage everyone to be as generous as possible with their donations. 
 PLEASE BE GENEROUS :).



4. APEX SOCKS: This season EVERYONE is required to wear APEX socks at LifeLand.  The cost is $2.00 a pair and you can keep them after you bought them.  These "jump socks not only aid in maintaining a sanitary environment, but also improve safety and enjoyment with their rubber gripped soles. The rubber grips give everyone the solid footing they need".  
 
They will be for sale at LifeLand unless you already have a pair from Apex in Saskatoon.   This is a one time purchase as you can reuse them each time.

5.  You are welcome to bring your own lunch and/or snacks. Tables available for your use.  We kindly ask, please clean up after yourself  by washing your dishes and wiping the tables.

6. PLEASE leave LifeLand in better order than when you arrived, daily.  LifeLand needs your help to keep things neat and orderly. 
Thank you for trying out LifeLand, we trust your play day is a great day! God bless you! 
Sincerely,

FROM THE PASTOR: A Responce to the USA's Court Decision on "Marriage Equality"

Good morning LPC family... I have been watching and listening to the many responses to the USA's court decision to re-define the word marriage. The discussion seems not about the re-definition of marriage but call to accept and approve of homosexual behavior. It seems that now respectful disagreement is not allowed... in fact it is called intolerance (the BIG sin of our age it seems) if you disagree.
MANY are being caught up in the wave of loud voices that calling Christians, like me, to change my views. If I don't, I am a knuckle dragging bigot... to be hated and silenced.
I have publicly stated before that in the feelings of attraction one has are NOT sinful, it is what we DO (our actions) with those feeling that bring sin and ultimately death. OUR feelings or emotions or desires, no matter how powerful, must not lead us. If they do lead us will we go back to the days of “everyone does what is right in their own eyes?” I fear we are already on the path. The laws will change in time and society will get all they want, which will, in the end I fear, NOT be what anyone wants.
I feel that people who STRONGLY disagree with the decision of the supreme court of the USA decision (and the one in Canada, years ago) on the re-definition of marriage have no right to stand up and say so. They are afraid of what would be the response of what other people might say. ALSO, I feel that when pressed to answer why we do not agree, we do not have the words to respond clearly, lovingly and thoughtfully.
 

NO... I do not HATE people who live or act differently than me, but I also do not approve of their actions if they act in a manner that the Word of God says is not permissible on whatever the issue. We must not run away from these discussions but have the words to answer why we disagree, with love.  NO... I am not better than anyone and have great brokeness in my life... I need help and in the Bible as it called me to put to death the deads of the flesh and live in the righteousness that God gives us.
ROM 6 says " 11In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. 13Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.  
14For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.
15What then?  Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means!
 16Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?  
17But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. 
18You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

Clear...
Here are some VERY helpful links that I have been encouraged and helped. Maybe they will be a help to you. I pray that we can have the resolve of pastor Rick Warren when he says, “I fear the disapproval of God more than I fear your disapproval of you (Piers Morgan) or the disapproval of society.”
I am praying for you today. 


PASTOR KEVIN SAWATSKY
