January Issue

As 2024 comes to a close, I am excited for all that God has in store for our Student and Young Adult Ministry, and our church as a whole, in 2025. We finished the year strong with some events that focused on relationship building. We also worked many long hours at our Missions Tree Lot to raise money to help send servants on Mission in 2025. All in all, it has been a busy month as we finish out 2024. In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, I am reminded of how blessed we all are to celebrate the gift that is Jesus Christ. My prayer is, as we all celebrate and reflect on what our Lord and Savior means to us this Christmas, that we would all have a renewed and rejuvenated longing for a deeper relationship with Jesus in 2025. That is my hope for the Student and Young Adult Ministry, that we would have a desire to grow deeper in our relationship with Jesus and that the result of that would be bolder disciples who make disciples. Thank you to all who have served and made ministry possible in 2024. I look forward to serving alongside each of you in the new year as we continue to minister to the students and young adults here at Lakewood Baptist Church.

In Christ,

Josh

The first Feed the Homeless of 2025 will be on January 18th. We are still in need of donations for supplies to hand out. Thanks in advance!

How do you get the Early Bird Rate? It is simple! Register your student and pay your deposit by January 31st to lock in this rate. 

How much is the deposit? It is $100/family. So, if you have multiple students going you only have to pay the one deposit for all.
