A Special "Thank You" to all the Sunday School classes who helped to make our "Christmas Mission" project a grand success. We had two car loads of boxes of gifts to present to the residents of Pleasant Ridge Manor to be opened at their Christmas Party. They were extremely thrilled to receive the prayer shawls that Bev Shrum added to our collection!

Work will be underway for another "Habitat for Humanity" build in Erie. Lakewood is, of course, taking part! Dates for Lakewood participation and how YOU can become part of the build will be announced in the future, Construction volunteers and food donations will be needed. Prayerfully consider being part of this exciting, hands-on, ministry!
Lakewood seeks to provide a work team to travel to this mission every two years. Red Bird Mission and Clinic have been providing ministries in this region of the Appalachian Mountains since 1921. Today the need remains critical in this isolated, rural distressed area. Chronic poverty, lack of jobs, poor housing, and rugged mountainous terrain provide obstacles to a fuller life for the residents of this area. Red Bird Mission and Clinic strives to meet these needs through ministry in five areas: Education, Health and Wellness, Community Outreach, Economic Opportunity, and Community Housing Improvement. The team traveled to Red Bird this summer. We are currently investigating dates for another trip in the summer of 2018.
