Renew Retreat Online
We weren’t able to have our Renew Retreat this spring, but since much of the time is spent in guided solitude, it is something you could do from home. Our God knows how to restore us, to bring back what has been lost, to renew what has been worn down. Will you let Him restore your mind and heart? Spend some time alone with God today, and be restored.

Serving Lakewood's Senior Adults
We aren’t created to go through extreme stress or difficulties alone, so this is a perfect time as part of God’s family to care for each other. As a Senior Adult, What is overwhelming right now that I should ask someone for help with?
If you have a specific need as a Senior Adult that can be met by someone here at church please contact Don Ormsbee, our Associate Pastor at 678 617-1219.
