On Sundays after fellowship an informal and open group gathers at a local restaurant for lunch and lively conversation. You are welcome at this gathering of friends old and new. Please check with one of the regulars–Melanie Moore, Bill Ryland, Carol Shores, or Ruth Halderman–about the details for this week. Pictured on the right is an example of some of the folks who sometimes lunch as a bunch. (PhotoS by Melanie Moore and Sue Sherwood — click photos for larger images)

Lakewood UCC Choir’s 2014 Pops Concert at the Westminster Suncoast Quak Center was a roaring success with, literally (!), standing room only attendance. Many thanks to all who made this program possible. Here’s hoping this will be but the first of many such appearances by the Lakewood UCC Choir.
This Sunday, Lakewood hosts guests Charles and Carol McCullough as they lead morning worship. Charles is a UCC pastor and artist (sculpturebymccollough.com). He designed the medallion on the Just Peace Award that Lakewood received in 1997 from the national United Church of Christ.
Below are three photos from when Lakewood received this award! If anyone can help identify the people in the photos (left to right, back row, front row) this post will be updated and reposted with that information.
