2008 Annual Church Conference Report

FROM MY HEART


Welcome with me into our fellowship Eli Saxton, Brianna King, Ralph Smith, Evie Smith, James Palmour, and Faye Matthews. We look forward to their contribution and service to Lakewood.

 What a Great Summer of Mission Sending!

As a church, we are very thankful for the opportunities we have to support local & global missions.  Lakewood was engaged beyond the walls of the church this summer to further God's Kingdom for His glory. Below is a list of our summer mission sending:

Hilton Head, SC            Kids’ Cove                      12

 Annual Conference

We had a great year of ministry reported in the Annual Conference Report booklet. I hope you will pick one up at our Information Centers and read all about it. We are extremely thankful for all that God used us to accomplish for His Kingdom this past year. We look forward to a great new year in each of our program ministries.

 Stewardship Update

We are thankful for the consistent report on Lakewooders in regards to honoring God with His tithe, offerings and beyond in order to support our annual ministry budget. Our ministry budget this coming year will be a challenging one, but I’m sure together we will meet and exceed our ministry budget goals that enable us to serve Christ throughout our region.

 Wednesday Night Live

Wednesday Night Live resumes August 13. There are activities for every member of the family! Stop by our Information Centers to pick up a booklet with a brief description of all opportunities available. Many of you may enjoy the Pastor’s Bible Study at 6:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.

In an effort to accommodate your busy schedules, Michael Collinson, of Simply Elegant, will continue to prepare and serve our Wednesday Night Fellowship Meals beginning at 5:15 p.m. Reservations are required and should be made on the Thursday of the week before the meal by calling the church office.

 Final Word

Thanks for your consistent love and support as your Senior Pastor. It is a joy to serve this church and especially to serve such a fine and dedicated staff. We are looking forward to a tremendous new year, and we trust that God will continue to bless Lakewood.

See you Sunday,
