| The two congregations worship at Lakewood on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. All are welcome! |

Lent is a season of preparation for Easter. It is a season of 40 days, echoing Jesus’ time in the wilderness. But the 40 days of Lent do not technically include Sundays. Sundays are to remain Sabbath, celebrations of the resurrection. So, there will be no devotions on the Sundays of Lent. You are encouraged to read the assigned Bible passages for the day and discover what wisdom there is for you on your Lenten journey: Numbers 21:4-9Psalm 107 1-3, 17-22Ephesians 2:1-10John 3:14-21 And, of course, you are encouraged to attend church! Note: This Sunday at church there will be a celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Lakewood UCC becoming an Open and Affirming Church. Trinity UCC is also an Open and Affirming Church. This special celebration will include participation from Metro Health, a mission partner of Trinity UCC. In honor of this anniversary, there will be the raising of a transgender flag that will be posted at the church sign on 54th Ave. S. to let the community know that the church is welcoming of all! If you cannot attend in person, please remember the church in your prayers on this important occasion. |

You Can Reduce Senior Hunger – on Your Lunch Break Once a Week!
Neighborly’s Meals on Wheels program feeds hungry seniors with home delivered meals and reduces isolation and loneliness, thanks to compassionate volunteers. At present, our greatest need is in the St. Petersburg region of the county but back up coverage is welcomed at all 11 sites!
Your impact is immediate! All it takes is:
- One weekday – easy!
- Close to home – convenient!
- Deliver meals to 5-10 seniors (generally between 10:30am to 12:30pm – we’ll work with you on lunchtime hours) – safely and quickly!
Our next orientation is March 7 at 10am. Additional dates available.
Volunteers are friendly, 18+, hold a valid driver’s license, automobile insurance, have a reliable, clean vehicle, and the ability to use tablet or smartphone. To apply, click here.
