EJ McKnight will be teaching a class after dinner at 6:30pm for the first portion of the spring. There will also be kids and youth activities following dinner.

Lakewood’s longest running Bible study, Feasting In the Word, has also resumed meeting 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 1 Corinthians 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 (1/24/24) at 4PM in Mendoza Classroom!

There will be a flower calendar for the altar flowers starting in January. Please be sure to sign up by writing your name next to your chosen date. The calendar will be on the wall right inside the Fellowship Hall door. The flowers cost $60 which can be given to the church through cash or check with "flowers" in the memo line. If you have any questions, please reach out to Tamra Smith at tsmith@lcjax.org or Jenna Moat at jmoat@lcjax.org.

The following upcoming dates are still available: Feb 18, Feb 25, and most of March (excluding 3/17). Please be sure to sign up in the fellowship hall or let the church office know you'd like to sign up!

Lakewood family remember rotary phones with cords, popcorn ceilings with sparkle, laying out in the sun drenched in baby oil, and Dessert Auctions here at Lakewood?

Only one of those is worthy of a come back! If you guessed popcorn ceilings with sparkle then I'm sorry to disappoint.

We are bringing back the Dessert Auction!! This will be a fundraiser for our youth choir tour.
