"His Word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot!" Jeremiah 20:9 May God's Word burn within your heart today.......burning with a desire to know Him more!
This guy was seen recently at a Lakewood UM event wearing .....well, we're not sure what you would call this style??? Frank P. has volunteered to lead our Family Camp this year and he says that this is what he is wearing to the Luau planned for Saturday at Family Camp. We hope that he doesn't plan on winning any contests! It should be a fun time though and we are looking forward to what he has in store!
The Living Stones had some WET and WILD fun on a hot summer day last week. Some of the group gathered at Sandi and Brent E.'s home to relax and enjoy the pool. The group is preparing for their summer trip to Florida and shared in prayer asking God to bless this outreach. After that....snacks, more fun in the pool and sun and lots of laughter filled the night.
It was an active week at Lakewood with VBS in full swing. The theme was PANDAMANIA...where we discovered that "God is WILD about us!" The lessons were great....like the top picture where the children were in the belly of the whale and learning about Jonah! The snacks were great......the games were great....the crafts were great.....God is great! Our prayer is that each child grew closer in His walk with Jesus....keep praying as they keep learning His ways!
The children from last week's Vacation Bible School presented a short program at the Pig Roast Friday night. Each class shared a song, skit or activity reflecting the lessons from VBS. Grace B. and Sara S. helped coordinate the presentation. What a joy to see our children praising the Lord. May He bless each one of them as they grow in His love.
It was a great night for a Pig Roast and approximately 130 gathered for fun, food and fellowship. The event was a fund raiser for the Backyard Project and more than $600.00 was raised toward this. Trees have been planted and monies now raised will go toward a pavilion for future outdoor events like this. Frank P. roasted the pig and it was super good! The Camp Board hosted the evening and looks forward to more outdoor activities. Thank you to all who worked, donated and attended this great time!
Mike K. was busy after the Pig Roast digging a trench to lay water lines for the Backyard Project. Volunteers have been watering the trees with a long hose from the church but soon water will be available nearby. What a blessing to have a church where everyone works together!! Thank you to all who continue to share their gifts and abilities for God's glory!
