SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM TRINITY CHURCH

January 24, 2024

To Our Friends and Fellow Congregants of Lakewood:

Trinity UCC is excited to announce that we have voted to merge with Lakewood!  We feel a sense of community with all of you and we share a like vision in matters of social justice and being an Open and Affirming congregation.

We want to thank all who participated in meetings to help us to come to this point. The shared gatherings of both congregations has lead Trinity to where we are today. We appreciate Lakewood hearing our shared joys and concerns and the open arms with which we were welcomed to bring our hopes for what will come in worshipping together.

Our hope is that Trinity’s spirit will continue with Lakewood’s spirit and that all of us may grow to work for God’s Glory in all we do to love, respect and serve others.

There is much work to still be done to complete the process of this cooperative ministry.  We ask for prayer and support as we work through this process.  Rev. Wells has been so wonderful to assist in any way possible and all of Trinity is most thankful for her guidance.  She has been Trinity’s pastor since October and we cannot express our gratitude enough!

Again, we thank all of Lakewood for the warm welcome!
