On Oct. 6th, 2018, the Lakefront Church held its annual Fall Festival at the church grounds. Beneath a sunny October sky, hundreds filled the grounds. The annual festival celebrates the Appalachian culture, while generating necessary funds for the operation of the many ministries that that church operates for Magoffin County residents. This year, the church sold every jar of its signature sorghum made from the cane crop that the church plants and harvests on its seven acres on the banks of Middle Fork. From the food booths, silent auction...this past year the church generated nearly $8,000 in revenue to support the ministry. People participated in the festival from Ohio, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Indiana. The church would like to thank everyone who assisted with the festival whether it was a donation or your attendance. Please enjoy the following slideshow from the festival of faces....homecoming 2018.

Just in time for the winter heating season, Lakefront Church held a fire safety afternoon where the office distributed smoke detectors to 50 families that did not have them in their homes. Several fires occur each year during the winter season from faulty heating units, fireplaces, and added electrical consumption. A smoke detector is the first line of defense making sure that families will have the necessary time to evacuate a burning home. If you have questions concerning fire safety in your home, pleas refer your questions to your local fire department. The smoke detectors were donated by the Christian Appalachian Project.
In an attempt to bolster the dairy farmers income, the Federal Government has committed to purchasing 11 million gallons of milk . The milk has been pledged to local pantries to distribute on a monthly basis. The Water Into Wine Food Pantry was recently awarded a $5,000 grant from Kentucky Wellcare Medicaid Group, for the purchase of two new milk coolers and an ice machine. One of the new coolers have been delivered to the pantry. The other will arrive in about 6 months. This will also aide in the storage of fresh fruits and vegetables that are susceptible to short shelf live. The pantry continues to strive for growth and ways to assist in the distribution of food to Magoffin County residents.
