Join us for breakfast every
Sunday from 9:00 AM to 9:45 AM
As we are in this time of rest during the summer months, our news and upcoming events tend to slow down. Please join us in learning about Sunday School classes! Each week we will highlight a new one until we get through all of them, bringing us close to the fall.

Our Sunday School classes begin around 9:45am, after breakfast.
Belote
The Belote Bible Class is a class for ladies of all ages and currently facilitated by Anna Sessions. While we have studied every book in the Bible at least once, we have just started a new study of the book entitled If The Tomb is Empty by Joby Martin. This study unveils how God's plan for Christ's sacrifice is threaded throughout scripture and shows why Christ's resurrection means that nothing is too hard for our God. The Belote Class was started in 1954 by Ann Belote, a charter member of Lakewood. Through the years our special offerings have contributed to our Lakewood home; the design of the Rose Window in the Narthex, handmade Chrismon Tree Ornaments used during the Advent season, support of the United Methodist Children's Home and UCOM Jax.  

Please join our class of sweet Christian women who love the Bible and studying God’s Word each Sunday.  We meet in Room 101, next to the library.
Family Promise
Hosting Family Promise
Lakewood has hosted families on our campus from July 31-August 7, and we appreciate all of the volunteers we've had on campus to show hospitality to our guests, serve as overnight hosts, prepare and serve meals throughout the week, and more. This week would not have been possible without you!
Care Ministry
The Care Ministry wishes to thank all the church members for their donations of food and time to make the funeral receptions so meaningful to our church family who have lost a loved one. It is one way to show our love through action.
 
If you would like to be a part of this loving ministry, please contact Pat Zeiser at zeiser@bellsouth.net.
