Have you heard the stories about the
early days of Lighthouse Christian
Ministries and the
Big Table?
It wasn’t anything special to look at…just a big old dining
room table and chairs positioned directly in front of the
main entrance of the original LCM resale shop. But in so
many ways, it represented what the Lighthouse was all
about…a “connection point” where stories were swapped,
coffee was shared, work was planned, prayers were
offered, and people experienced the love of Jesus in very
tangible ways. Recapturing that memory and expanding
LCM’s ministry into the future is our vision for the recently
acquired “bonus” building and adjacent space located
immediately behind our current building on Grand Avenue
in Bacliff.
By the Numbers
We want to introduce you to our newest outreach ministry:
The Lighthouse Senior Citizen Program!
15 God often provides the provision before the program, and this was
no exception.
18 A local Pastor had asked us to pray for the senior citizens in our
community as he felt there were needs not being met. A few short
days later, two new volunteers came to LCM with a passion for the
elderly and the heart to help us start a new program. Heather Lin-
hart was one of those volunteers, and she currently is our volunteer
Program Coordinator.

The Senior Program officially kicked
off in December with a Christmas
party, and the turnout was better
than expected. Currently, the Senior
Program offers a festive gathering
every third Friday of the month and
visits to home-bound seniors. We are
excited to see where God takes this
new program as we already see lives
being impacted.
“ Many seniors in
our community are
isolated, lonely and
struggling to make
ends meet. We can
make a difference
in their lives by
making them laugh,
providing a meal
and helping them
develop new
friendships.”
– H. Linhart.
