IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

On Thursday, January 26 at 6pm in the sanctuary, the Lakewood One Church Board (OCB) is holding an informational meeting to discuss the upcoming vote concerning disaffiliation from the United Methodist Church. 

The District Superintendent has scheduled the disaffiliation vote for Wednesday, February 15, at 7pm.

As Methodists, a change to our connectional affiliation is a big step that should be carefully considered. The OCB wants the congregation to be fully involved and informed. During our January 26 meeting, the OCB will share the process of voting and a sample of the ballot. Several members will share their thoughts on the vote and the future for Lakewood. 

There will also be a Q&A for anyone in attendance.  In order to keep our meeting timely, it would be helpful to have as many questions as possible in advance. Email your questions to Ken Perry at kcperry16@yahoo.com.

Please mark both dates on your calendars:

January 26 - Informational Meeting, Sanctuary 6pm

February 15 – Disaffiliation Vote, 7pm. Details to follow.

We urge you to be in prayer for Lakewood. Pray for our leaders, Pastor Don, as well as the entire congregation. Seek His guidance, and in everything, be devoted to loving one another.

Williams Family Send Off

As you may have already heard, Pastor Eric and his family has received a mid-year appointment. While this change is filled with many mixed emotions as we hate to see them go, we want to celebrate them and show how much we appreciate the many years they have dedicated to Lakewood! January 22nd will be their official last day with us, and we want to celebrate them and send them off well with a potluck lunch after the service!

Because the lunch is a potluck, we plan to open the CAC kitchen at 9am for you to have a place for anything that needs to go in the fridge or anything that needs to be kept warm. In an effort to minimize repeat dishes, we have provided a sign up genius so that you can see what others are bringing. Please click the button below to sign up!
