GOOD STUFF FROM GOD!

"Taste and SEE that the Lord is good, blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him."  Psalm 34:8  It probably wouldn't be a good idea to "taste" these flowers but we certainly can SEE that the Lord is good in so many ways.  May His goodness fill your hearts today!

PATRIOTIC DUO!

Do their ties give you any hint that these two are somewhat patriotic?  Jack T. and Roger B. both were sporting the red, white and blue on Sunday.  What a blessing we have have for the Freedom we share here in the United States.  Thank you Lord!

IT'S SUMMER TIME!

You could tell that summer is here just by what everyone was wearing this past Sunday!  Harrison M. and Brady E. were staying "COOL" with shorts and a cold drink.  Life at Lakewood is casual and everyone is encouraged to "come as you are!"  Join us each Sunday this summer (there is air conditioning) as we Praise the Lord together.

MEMORIAL READING

As we observed Memorial Day a candle was lit in memory of loved ones who have passed away this last year.  Almost 30 candles were lit as the list was read.  Thanks be to God for the memories we share and thanks to Him for His peace and strength.  Jesus is the LIGHT of the world!

GOOD STUFF FROM GOD!

"I will praise You as long as I live, and in Your name I will lift up my hands."  Psalm 63:4  May our hands, hearts and lives be lifted up to God this week as we give ourselves daily to Him.

CONGRATULATIONS!


It was a special day as we honored our graduates from the Class of 2012.  Five graduates were present and were presented with a gift from our church with a prayer of blessing as they step into the future.  Their beautiful smiles expressed their excitement as each one begins a new chapter of their life.  Those present were Hannah G., Shannon S., Tiffani A., Alexis K., and Mariah D.  May God surround them with His peace, strength and guidance.....CONGRATS GIRLS!

WILLING WORKERS



Life at Lakewood happens because of ALL our willing workers.  Thank you to so many who volunteer every week.  Grace B. and others from the Education Committee hosted a great reception for the 2012 graduates.  Team work was evident as each one pitched in to make things run smoothly.  Fred and Gretchen S. prepared the coffee this Sunday (Jan D. just wanted in on the picture!).  It is like a fine tuned machine...thank you Lord for blessing Lakewood in this way!
