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.

Be Encouraged!

Matthew 14:22-33

This Sunday, we hear the story of Jesus walking on water, and, for a moment, Peter too! The lead up to the walking on water moment we find Jesus taking a break from teaching to the crowds, going to the mountain to pray, and facing a storm. As the disciples see Jesus walking on the sea, Jesus invites them to take heart, to not be afraid – he is with them! Culturally and individually, we are in the midst of many storms. Where do we find Christ’s presence in the midst of the storms, not despite them? How do we find encouragement, courage, and the ability to “take heart” in the midst of all we face? Join us in worship this Sunday as Rev. Mollie preaches, and we reflect together on God’s presence with us.
