Here at Lakewood UCC, we believe that worship is at the very center of our life together. Whether in person or online, we are the living, breathing, Body of Christ. Our worship services offer a mixture of traditional and progressive elements. Our sermons seek to connect the wisdom of our scriptures with the real-life issues of today. We offer a variety of types of music because we know that no one style of music is sufficient for praising God. Every week we gather the prayers of the community and reflect on the ways we see God at work in the world. We hope that all who join us for worship experience the power and presence of the Spirit and a connection to the wider community.

Marking Sacred Ground
Genesis 28:10-19a

This week, we hear a story from Genesis, of Jacob experiencing the presence of God through a dream, leading him to mark the place as holy ground. Jacob names the land Bethel, the place he experiences the presence of God, and marks it with a stone. Many of us have had experiences of feeling the presence of God in a special way in a specific place or land, and marking it somehow. Many of our ancestors named lands, many of which already had a name and were known to whoever was indigenous to the land. Join us in worship as we wrestle with knowing and naming Holy Ground, and acknowledging who has also named the land Holy before us. Rev. Mollie is preaching, we hope to see you in worship!
