Easter Baptism
Thank you to all who attended our Easter worship service! We were blessed to have so many neighbors filling our pews this past Sunday. We were also blessed to witness the baptism of Mary Bruster, daughter of our members Adam and Nikki Bruster. Here she is with Rev. Dr. Gayle Landis and her parents (as you can see, she is having trouble containing her excitement).

Amigos Days
For over a decade, LUMC has participated in Amigos Days. Alongside other area Methodist churches, we paint and make minor repairs to the homes of people who are elderly or disabled who cannot afford the repairs. The volunteers for this program have painted and repaired over 400 homes. We need volunteers to: help with the work (no skill required) and to provide drinks and snacks. If you are interested in helping out, contact Eva at office@mylakewoodchurch.org.
