Community Updates

Lost and Found Table Now in the Lobby

Have you misplaced something recently? We’ve set up a new lost and found table in the church lobby. If you’re missing jackets, water bottles, or other personal items, please stop by and check the table. It’s a simple way to reunite with lost belongings and keep our community organized.

Praise Report: “A Little Change Changes Lives!”

Thanks to the generosity of our church family, the “A Little Change Changes Lives!” campaign raised an impressive $1,789.41. Your small change truly adds up to big change!

August Mission Focus

Operation Christmas Child

Our mission focus for August is collecting school supplies for Operation Christmas Child. This month, we are asking for:

• Crayons

• Pencils

• Notebooks

Our Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes are now ready for packing and can be found in the mission corner in the lobby. Please pick up a box, fill it with gifts and other basic necessities, and help us reach our church-wide goal of 1,000 boxes. Each box is more than a gift; it’s a chance for a child to hear the Gospel and experience God’s love firsthand. Your participation in this mission makes a lasting difference.

Get Involved!

Lakewood Baptist is a place where faith grows through service, fellowship, and outreach. This week’s events and opportunities invite everyone to get involved and support our community. Whether you volunteer with Awana, join the kickoff celebration, or contribute to Operation Christmas Child, your participation matters.

Take a moment to sign up as an Awana volunteer, join us for breakfast on August 15th, and prepare for a joyful kickoff on August 23rd. Don’t forget to check the lost and found table if you’ve misplaced anything and consider packing a shoebox to bless a child this Christmas.

Let’s make this season at Lakewood Baptist one of connection, generosity, and celebration. See you there!
