Senior Adults
Leader: Don Ormsbee

Our senior adults are a group that love Christ, pray for one another, listen to the needs of others, love God's church, serve Him, and have fun and fellowship together.

At Lakewood our ministry to senior adults continues to grow and develop and has a bright future. Without the involvement of our senior adults in ministry, there would be many holes and large shoes to fill. Our senior adults are investing in the life and ministry of our church, everything from changing diapers in the nursery to visiting with the sick and home-bound. They are involved in missions, evangelism, and discipleship. They make unique contributions to our fellowship. As our population changes and there are more and more senior adults, our ministry will certainly look to grow and increase.

Our monthly meeting is held on the 4th Tuesday at 12:00 Noon in the Fellowship Hall. Each month we enjoy a covered dish meal and a wonderful and inspirational program.

Wednesday Night Group - Meet Me at the Lamp Post
Leader: Elizabeth Ormsbee

Oxford don and Christian apologist, C. S. Lewis has been hailed the most influential Christian writer of the 20th century. Even his unsympathetic critics have admired and acknowledged his brilliance and his ability to introduce the Christian faith as an engaging option for intelligent people today. Before his death, he published in excess of 10,000 pages of literature on a diverse list of subjects. This immense collection might prove daunting for both the disciplined and undisciplined reader, but time spent with this great mind is worth the investment.

Beginning Wednesday, August 9, we invite you to join Don & Elizabeth Ormsbee this fall for a literary journey through Mere Christianity, one of his most popular works. Whether you are already a friend of Lewis, a casual reader, or interested in beginning a literary journey, these sessions will be enjoyable discussions designed to stretch and strengthen ideas about our faith.

Your identity is more than your relationship status or job title. No matter how the seasons in life change, your identity in Christ never does. During these nine weeks, we will inductively look at passages from Genesis, Psalms, Job, and Ephesians. The study also includes suggested scripture memorization, self-reflection journaling, and prayer prompts (approximately 2 hours of "homework" per week). Join us as we seek to apply Biblical truths to shape our thinking about our spiritual identity, and know who God says I am.
