News and Events

August 9 | 12:30 – 3:30 p.m. Mark your calendars for August 9 as we come together to celebrate this new chapter and kick off our ministries! Join us for a picnic at Asbury Park as we gather in fellowship and excitement for what’s ahead. More details will be shared soon—we hope to see you there!

Please join us on Mondays from 6:00-7:00 p.m. in the Lakewood Prayer Chapel (off the sanctuary). This prayer hour has a new format which will include a weekly focus and special prayer intention. This is a comfortable, welcoming, covenant space to gather in the presence of God. You don't need to pray out loud unless you want to - you can simply participate by being present. We plan to meet every Monday for one hour - there is no commitment - come when you can or feel called to be there. Everyone is invited. If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Medina, Margueritta Estes or Jackie Bull.

Children are out of school for the summer. It means that they will be home for all of their meals. In order to pass out 1 box of cereal or a can of veggies, fruit, or tuna, we need 172 of each item. Our pantry depends heartily on the support we receive from our churches! Thank you in advance for helping
us reach the goal. Thank you, Karen
