Vacation Bible School
2017-06-12 09:00 - 11:30 | Lakewood United Church of Christ, 100 Carr Street, Lakewood, CO, 80226, United States
June 12-15, 9:00-11:30. Children will explore the short yet prophetic message of Micah 6:8- “The Lord has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” This passage has historically had special significance to the UCC, but it certainly has universal appeal. Children will explore the following daily themes: Doing Justice, Loving Kindness, Walking Humbly With God, and Living the Good Life. The children will begin each morning in a large group for welcome, announcements, music, and opening presentation. They will then divide into three pre-assigned “family groups” consisting of children age 4 – 6th grade. Each group will rotate through three stations: games, craft, and activity. All the groups will eat snack together between rotations two and three. At the end of the morning, children will come back together for songs and dismissal. On day 4 parents are invited to the closing worship at 11:15, during which the children will present some of what they learned. The program will include a mission project assembling bags of basic necessities to give to those experiencing homelessness. It will be a fun-filled, energy-packed, meaningful experience for all ages!

2017-05-07 11:30 - 12:30 | Lakewood United Church of Christ, 100 Carr Street, Lakewood, CO, 80226, United States
Cinco de Mayo is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army‘s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862 during the French and Mexican War. The ragtag Mexican Army was significantly outnumbered by a better equipped French Army twice its size. As Time magazine remarked, “The Puebla victory came to symbolize unity and pride for what seemed like a Mexican David defeating a French Goliath.” While the holiday is rather insignificant in Mexico, it has become a celebration of Mexican culture in the United States. We will celebrate on Sunday, May 7th for our all church Fellowship. Please sign-up to participate with mini tacos, empanadas, cookies or chips and dip.

Jesus said, “Let the children come to me.”
On Sunday mornings, childcare for children 3 years and younger is available in the nursery from 9:30 a.m. until the end of the service. Visiting children are welcome. Please accompany your children to and from the nursery. Pre-K through 6th-grade children start in worship and then leave during the “Passing of the Peace” to participate in Children’s Faith Formation. Our volunteers and staff act as spiritual mentors, rather than teachers. They welcome the children into a positive, loving, fun, and safe space to encounter the sacred on their own terms. Through age-appropriate, Bible-based activities—including arts and crafts, drama, stories, songs, discussion, and spiritual practices—children encounter God, learn about Jesus, and explore what their faith means to them.
