Weekly Life-Giving Moment
Submit a Life-Giving Moment”My sister passed away this summer - she was diagnosed with a brain tumor in June and died in August. As I was getting ready to go to North Carolina to see her, I was surprised by two church members who brought me a bouquet of flowers and a prayer. I was able to be by her side as she passed just 5 hours after I arrived. The support from my Lakewood family has touched my heart. They noticed that she had been on the prayer list a couple of times, and the gesture to deliver the bouquet was amazing. I cried and hugged the woman who delivered them. This was truly a life giving moment. Thank you to the prayer team and flower ministry.

Serving Christ In All We Do
Our attitude is important in the work we do. There are times when we go about our work with a less than wonderful attitude, especially when we disagree with how things are being done by those who are directing our work. As followers of Jesus, what should our attitude be? In Ephesians 5:21, Paul says, “Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.” He then goes on to explicate aspects of mutual submission in the relationship between husbands and wives, between parents and children, and…
