Dear Lakewood Family and Friends,

I want to make sure all of you remember that this Sunday, May 6, there will be an exciting combined worship service in the Christian Activity Center at 11:00!  There will be no 8:30 service in the sanctuary, but 1510 will meet as usual with Carol Hudson teaching, breakfast will be available in the fellowship hall from 9:30, and Sunday School classes will meet at the regular time.
At that special 11:00 service (1) the announcement will be made about pastoral appointments (Lakewood’s senior and associate pastors for the coming year) and (2) we will receive 3-year commitments to support paying off the Christian Activity Center by the year 2020.
You have been hearing and reading the past few weeks about the “2020 - The Vision” campaign, and church members should have received pledge cards in the mail.  Please prayerfully prepare your sacrificial commitment to bring with you on Sunday morning.  We will have extra pledge cards if you forget to bring yours.  The goal is to receive commitments of at least $407,000 over the next three years.  Some pledge cards have already been turned in, and Tom Hudson, Finance Committee chairperson, will announce that figure on Sunday morning.  Thanks to Tom and his team for their excellent leadership and hard work in this campaign!
