The Open and Affirming Anniversary, March 10, 2024

In celebration of the 25th anniversary as an Open and Affirming Church, Lakewood/Trinity United Church of Christ publicly redeclared the enthusiastic welcoming of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons into the full life and ministry of the church in today’s service. To demonstrate this wide open welcome to those who have often found church to be a hostile and hurtful place, a gay pride/transgender flag was raised on the church grounds. Metro Inclusive Health and Equality Florida also gave presentations on their work in our community as part of this special commemoration. Many thanks to all who attended this important event and a special thanks to the Outreach Committee for all that was done to make it happen!

Drivers needed to deliver Meals on Wheels

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.
