WORD ALIVE
LUMC's New Fall Teaching Service
8:30 AM SUNDAYS IN ASBURY HALL
Would you like to receive bible teaching each week set in a relaxed worship setting? Then Word Alive is for you!
Our Senior Pastor, Joe Fort, will be the primary teacher in this new study and worship offering at Lakewood United Methodist Church. Word Alive will take place each Sunday morning at 8:30 am in Asbury Hall. The Reverend Fort will bring an expository bible lesson every week. In addition, we will sing uplifting hymns and worship songs at each service.
Word Alive will be designed to be a meaningful study and worship opportunity for persons of all ages. It will be a chance for you to dive deeper into the Word of God and grow in your walk with Jesus Christ. This service will be geared to end prior to the 9:30 Sanctuary service and Sunday Schoo, and nursery care for young children will be available during the hour, . Be looking in the weeks ahead for more on Word Alive ... and be in prayer as to whether this opportunity might be made to order for your spiritual life!
