This Advent Season if you would like to take a break in the sanctuary of the Lord from the seasonal rush, join us for a prayer office on each Wednesday evening at 6:45 PM. We will use a modified form of Vespers, possibly with parts a capella (voices only) and parts with alternative accompaniment (like…

The Lakewood Lutheran School students have been working on a total of three songs for the upcoming Sunday service. Besides these, they also have a weekly hymn that is practiced daily and used in the weekly chapel service. Come for the 10:30 AM sevice time on October 23 to hear the students sing!
Until June, 2022, we had been linking sermons from this website to YouTube. We may begin to do that again as time permits. But the more direct way to find the video recordings of our sermons and services is through YouTube itself. The YouTube icon link at the top of our website will take you…
In the summer of 2022, our service times shifted to 10 AM, with no Bible class. Prior to that, we had been starting at 10:45 AM, with Bible class starting at 10. The later time was a continuation from when Lakewood Lutheran shared a pastor with Our Redeemer in Yelm, and in the pastoral vacancy…

At this point, the call window has closed for obtaining a list of teachers currently serving in other schools. We…
The church council in its capacity as the board of education for Lakewood Lutheran Church, met Wednesday, March 16, and extended a divine call to Mrs. Terri Elder. If she accepts this call, Mrs. Elder will teach the 5th through 8th grade classroom at Lakewood Lutheran School next year, and also serve as our director…
