For four Wednesdays in July, join us in the Youth Room as our popular Summer Film Series switches from an environmental theme to our main focus: “Identity: Becoming Who We’re Meant to Be.” This week, we’re showing Billy Elliot (R, 2000), the story of an 11-year-old boy in the north of England who stumbles out of the boxing ring and onto the ballet floor. He experiences both trials and triumphs as he strives to conquer his family’s set ways, overcome his own inner conflict, and learn to stand on his toes! Whether or not you’ve seen the movie before, you can expect plenty of food for thought as Pastor Curt leads us in a discussion of who we are and how we got here. Plus popcorn and drinks! And free childcare (available upon request)! What could be better?

Gaming Night
2016-07-07 19:30 - 20:45 | Lakewood United Church of Christ, 100 Carr Street, Lakewood, CO, 80226, United States
What’s the difference between a “games night” and a “gaming night”? Good question. The difference is the kind of games that are played. “Gaming” generally refers to board, card, or role-playing games that require strategy and imagination. Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons and Dragons, and Axis and Allies are all good examples of “gaming.” Even if you’ve never rolled a twenty-sided die in your life, join us in the Fellowship Hall for a night of gaming for all ages and ability levels, with chips, drinks, and tons of fun. If you’d like to volunteer to host a game, contact Dianne McNeill.

Have you experienced the death of a family member, a friend, or someone else who was significant to you?

Taizé Worship
2016-07-24 10:15 - 11:15 | Lakewood United Church of Christ, 100 Carr Street, Lakewood, CO, 80226, United States
Taizé-style worship comes to us from the Taizé community, an ecumenical Christian group based in France. Songs consist of simple, repeated phrases, and instead of a sermon, there’s an emphasis on contemplation and silence. Over the last couple years, this has become one of our most popular worship services. Everyone is invited to join us as we quiet our minds, still our hearts, and wait for the wind of God to blow among us.
