Women's Ministry: Our
Women’s Ministry here at Lakewood, known as “Lakewood Ladies,” is one
that provides women of all ages with an opportunity for fellowship and
friendship. We understand that the worship service alone is not enough
time to nurture meaningful relationships with one another.
Once a month, we enjoy a
“Lakewood Ladies’ Gathering” which is hosted in homes of the women who
attend Lakewood. These are the times we can strengthen our friendships
and gain encouragement through a time of devotions, a topic of interest,
prayer, and refreshments. Some of the other annual activities and
events that we enjoy together include a women’s retreat designed for
renewal and spiritual growth, the Women of Faith conferences, and most
recently-hosting a Beth Moore Simulcast.
One of the important aspects of our ministry is
the ability to bless others throughout the year. We have an annual yard
sale in which we raise money to help families during the Christmas
season who may be struggling financially. In addition, we have
“adopted” a family to bless throughout the year. We also organize
special “drives” to raise supplies or finances needed to help with
various community organizations such as the women’s shelter, etc.
