ABOUT US
What makes someone a member of the Senior Adult ministry?
Who is a Senior Adult?
Lakewood’s Senior Adults are a group of folks age 55+ that love Christ, listen to and pray for one another, love and serve God’s church, and have a lot of fun and fellowship together!
FELLOWSHIP MEETING
Monthly Meeting and Potluck
Senior Adult Lunch
We gather monthly for our Senior Adult Lunch which is typically held on the fourth Tuesday at Noon in the Fellowship Hall. Each month we enjoy a covered dish meal, an informative or inspirational program, and always a lot of laughter. There are some occasions when we meet at a restaurant, at the Retreat at Long Mountain or have special guests for our luncheon.
Senior Adult Prayer Meeting
Join us the first Tuesday morning of every month at 8:30 AM in the Chapel for a special time of prayer.
