Matching Gift Update

For several weeks, we have been reporting about the generous Walterhouse Family challenge whereby they will match our extra mile giving until May 31st (up to $50,000) to balance our budget for 2024. This past Sunday, it was announced that, thanks to your generosity, we have exceed our goal. The extra mile giving as of this week is $55,531.08.

 

Some members may have planned to make their extra mile gift in May and others may have planned to make an additional payment in May. Please don’t hold back! We don’t propose to know God’s thinking, but our guess is that we shouldn’t withhold our giving because someone else gave first. And please continue your generosity throughout the remainder of the year so that we do, indeed, cover all our expenses.

 

A heartfelt THANK YOU to all those Lakewood folks that have participated in this extra mile giving, and to those that will continue to support our church through the remainder of the year. And, of course, a BIG THANKS to the Walterhouse Family for their amazing challenge gift!

Wednesday Nights

Wednesday Nights are back! Dinner will be at 6pm in the CAC Dining Room. You can find the menu for the next couple weeks below! Sign up below to let us know that you're coming this month! This helps us refine the amount of food prepared to minimize waste. If you're interested in helping in the kitchen on Wednesday Night or possibly cooking, please reach out to Marc Winant at mwinant@lcjax.org.


Menu:

May 8-Baked ziti, salad, and garlic bread

May 15-Brisket tacos, corn salad, chips and salsa

The next few Wednesday nights we have some exciting things planned including a night of worship, BINGO Night, and a Summer Celebration to round out the spring season of Wednesday nights! Our last meeting before summer break is May 22 when we meet for our Summer Send Off. We will resume Wednesday activities in the fall.


Lakewood’s longest running Bible study, Feasting In the Word, also meets on Wednesdays at 4pm, in the Mendoza Classroom. (Option to participate via Zoom also available). FITW is an in-depth study of the Bible book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. We have begun our study of Paul’s letters in the order in which he wrote them. Currently we are studying Spiritual Gifts and would love for you to join us. You do not need any prior Bible knowledge--just a love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and a desire to better understand His Word and how to apply it in your life. If God is calling you to study His Word through this Bible Study, call or text Ree Unterspan at (904)524-6071 or simply join us next Wednesday at 4PM in Mendoza Classroom!
