Save the date for July 22 and August 19 at Green Mountain Beer Co, from 3-4:30 pm. Food trucks will be available, beer is optional, openness to good conversation a must. Discussion will be facilitated by Rev. Mollie, contact her with any questions!
Called to Serve 2018-2019
Through the Church’s boards and committees, our congregational life is sustained in the form of worship, church operations, mission, communications, faith formation, finance, personnel, care for creation, adult education, endowment, fellowship, and congregational care. Participation on a board or committee is both an opportunity to share your gifts of grace and to develop a deeper understanding of those gifts.
If you feel called to serve, in any capacity, please contact the Vice Moderator, Paul Michalec, about the various opportunities that exist. Paul can be reached at paul.michalec@du.edu or 303-988-1359.
Men’s Breakfast
September 8 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
Our Men’s Ministry breakfast is an easy and fun way to get to know some of the other guys in the church. Once a month we gather at a local restaurant for breakfast to chat and deepen our relationships in a casual setting. We hope that you will plan on joining us. Restaurant: TBD. Questions? Contact Daryl Foelske.

New Small Groups
Thanks to everybody who stopped by the tables in the Fellowship Hall on Sunday to indicate their interest in new small groups. If you couldn’t make it on Sunday but are intrigued by any of the three opportunities we presented (“Outdoor Adventurers,” “Pooped-Out Parents,” and “Food Friends”), we’ll have sheets out on the Welcome Center for you to put your name down. We’ll also be reaching out to people on the lists to see if we can get some groups together and make these ideas a reality. Contact: Susan Rumley.
Men’s Breakfast
July 9, 2016 @ 8:30 am - 10:00 am
The men of Lakewood UCC will once again break their fast together, this time at the Garrison Street Grill (608 Garrison St.). They’ll meet half an hour early, at 8:30 a.m., so anyone who wants to can volunteer at the Action Center later that morning. So, if you’re a man and you like breakfast, join them! If you’re man who doesn’t like breakfast, well, we don’t even know what to say to you. Contact: Daryl Foelske.
New Small Groups
June 26, 2016 @ 11:15 am - 12:00 pm
You might remember “Small Group Sunday” from a couple months ago. Ruth Rueter pointing a gigantic arrow at Susan Rumley? The bulletin board draped in gold lamé? See, you do remember. Anyway, several ideas for new small groups emerged from our post-worship discussion that day. The top three were a young families group (“Pooped-Out Parents”), a hiking/camping group (“Outdoor Adventurers”), and an in-home dinner group (“Food Friends”). If you’re intrigued by any of these groups, please join us in the Fellowship Hall after worship. We’ll have a table for each group, so anyone who’s interested can talk, share contact information, and maybe even schedule a first meeting! Contact: Susan Rumley.
