Upcoming Events
ON SUNDAY MAY 20, 2012 The People of Lakewood United Methodist Church and the Citizens of Lakewood Ohio are invited to join together to change lives. We will join with other United Methodists around the globe to change the world on May 20, 2012.
Change the World is a movement to connect United Methodists in service with simple acts of kindness to build community locally and to fight malaria globally.
Lakewood United Methodist Church will participate by joining with the Lakewood Department of Aging and Lakewood Alive to go to homes around our community and do yard work such as mow lawns, clean and prune flowerbeds and plant flowers.
The event will kick off following the morning worship services with a light lunch at 12:30 in which the teams will then leave the church and go to their assigned locations. Volunteers may wish to bring yard and garden tools, gloves and water bottles.
If you are interested in helping with this event please contact the Church Office at 216-226-8644 or email Rev. Laura Jaissle at

SERMON SERIES
“Joining God in the Neighborhood “
April 22-May 27
How might we create the kinds of safe spaces where the real stories shaping people's lives become the ones we own and address in our churches? How do we do church better on Sunday so that it is more relevant to where these people are? How do we get these people in the coffee shop to church on Sunday?"
Instead, think about:
When we are truly seeking to know what it means to be God's people, we will want to know what God is up to in our neighborhoods and communities and what it means for the Gospel to be lived out and proclaimed in this time and place. We will be looking at the Book of Acts, as well as other Biblical Stories and what is says we are to do as the church today.
This Series will also be celebrated with a church wide initiative on Sunday May 20th to change the world. Following the morning worship services we will gather as a church for a light lunch and then we will go out into our neighborhood and change the world through small acts of service. WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD AND IT STARTS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD!!
More information coming soon about CHANGE THE WORLD SUNDAY MAY 20th. We will have a sign up board and different neighborhoods and homes we will go to do some light yard work, lawn mowing, etc.

“Laugh Your Way to Grace –
Reclaiming the Spiritual Power of Humor” by Rev. Susan Sparks
Laughter- the GPS for the Soul. Laughter was honored by the ancients as a spiritual healing tool and celebrated by the world’s great religions. So why aren’t we laughing along the spiritual path today? What would happen if we did? In this personal and funny look at humor as a spiritual practice, Rev. Susan Sparks – an ex-lawyer turned comedian and Baptist minister – presents a convincing case that the power of humor radiates far beyond punch lines.
Baptism will be offered at both the 10:00am and Impact Worship Services on Mother's Day (5/13) and Father's Day (6/17). Contact Rev. Hartley or Pastor Laura or the church office.
