BAKED POTATO SUPPER

It was a great night and a great turn out for the Benefit Dinner for Manna's Market last Friday. Baked potatoes, salad, rolls and dessert were on the menu and it was all good! Approximately $2,500.00 was raised to help those in need. Thank you to all who worked and made this possible and all who so generously gave. Praise the Lord!

GOOD STUFF FROM GOD!

"I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness." I Timothy 2:1-2 May we continue to pray for God's blessing and guidance for those in authority over us and may He be praised in that! (photo taken on the Living Stones trip to Lansing)

FACES AT LAKEWOOD

Joe was proud of his shirt as his picture was being taken for this week's "Faces At Lakewood" series. Becky just smiled! Joe and Becky A. are regular faces here at Lakewood and have been attending for over 26 years. They were invited to come here to church by friends and have been actively involved ever since. Both Joe and Becky have served on many different committees and positions. Their faithful and dedicated service to God is a reflection of their faith and love for Jesus. When they came to Lakewood they found friends and a family and they are an important part of that equation now. Joe and Becky have two daughters and one son-in-law and they couldn't forget their 3 "grand-dogs!" Becky works for Pennock Hospital and enjoys quilting in her spare time. Joe works for Bradford-White and is often found driving bus and helping area farmers in the fields. It is people like Joe and Becky that make the world a happy place and they certainly share that love at Lakewood. May God bless them this week in a special way!

SUPER BOWL PARTY

It was a wild afternoon as we got pumped up for the big game! A great group of King's Club Kids and Youth gathered for games, contests and food. The church was rocking with great music and the pre-game on the big screen. Jake gave a "super" message on winning for Jesus---but he didn't have the inflatable football on his head then. Great times at Lakewood!

ON THE SIDELINES

Doesn't this look like an "energetic" group?!!!! They all had as much fun watching the children and youth during the Pre-Game Party as everyone else did. Isn't it great that we can all share together as the family of God.....what a blessing!

BREAKFAST TIME

Sunday lunch was BREAKFAST and it was great! Pancakes, biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs and sausage were just a few of the things available at this spread! Attendance was really good and appetites were too! What a wonderful time of fellowship for all ages. Thank you to all who work so hard to make this happen each month.

FUN DAY FOR STONES!

A group from the Living Stones traveled to Lansing this week to begin filiming for a new video. It was a beautiful Saturday morning and the purple shirts invaded the city! The Living Stones will be filming at different locations during the next month in preparation for their spring and summer performances. The next performance for this group will be Sunday, February 19, at Green Acres in Ionia.
