Each year the Lakewood congregation partners with Maximo Elementary School to provide Christmas gifts for the students who are houseless. The school provides the names and ages of children and preferred gifts. And Angel Tree is set up in the sanctuary with the names and gifts listed on ornaments. People take the ornaments purchase the gifts and bring them back to church wrapped and tagged. We are so grateful to all who support this effort to bring joy to children in our community.
