Caring for the Family
Some of the Ways in which we help one another
 Care and Share
- food closet on site, to assist anyone with emergency needs
- gift certificates are sometimes used to supplement our food closet
Social Assistance
- networking with other churches, agencies and services to provide easier access to the right kind of help when needs arise
Small Groups
- Small Groups provide the opportunity to build relationship and get connected, to encourage and to care for others and to receive care. If you are part of a small group, your Facilitators are your first line of assistance. Pick up a Small Group Booklet at the Guest and Member Services Desk to see how you can get connected. Contact is Pastor Ruth Teakle.
Helping Hands Ministry
Inserts found in the bulletin and on the LWC Bulletin Board offer

Library

Personal Growth and Healing Resources
To explore options for prayer or professional counseling and learn about other valuable resources you can call the church office to set up a Pastoral Care Intake Interview. At the intake interview we assess your needs, help you set goals and direct you to the resources to meet those goals. Confidentiality and privacy will be maintained.
Prayer Ministry
Trained prayer ministry personnel have been released by Lakemount to help pray in agreement and faith during crises or ongoing need. Please feel free to utilize this avenue at the end of any service by moving to the front and approaching the Pastoral or Prayer Ministry Team or by calling the Pastoral Care Department.
