On rain drenched October 5, 2024, we gathered to raise funds for Christians Reaching Out to Society ministry food pantries. Every year, we donate more missions dollars and donate more volunteer hours to CROS ministries. Look over our photos to view this fun-filled morning!
On March 23-24, 2024 the Lake Worth United Church of Christ was not only a Compass sponsor and a business alliance member of the Palm Beach Pride Fest, but we had a presence in the parade on Sunday. Our entry was highlighted by our giant-sized puppet clothed in a coat of many colors.
We had a great morning gleaning tomatoes at Mecca Farms in Boynton Beach on Saturday, February 3rd. The weather was beautiful, and we picked 85 boxes of tomatoes in about an hour and a half. Those tomatoes went to CROS food bank to be distributed to 100s of families the next week.
We have found that having breakfast together is a great way to do church. We feel that this is a way of being church for all-ages to join in experiencing fun and faith formative activities. Our Breakfast Church is based on the values of all-ages together, celebration, creativity, hospitality, and centering ourselves in Christ.
One of our recent sermon series was entitled "Come to the Table". As part of that series, we meet and decorated ceramic plates together. Here are photos of that gathering, September 29, 2023.
“Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you did it to me.” Matthew 25:40.
We do seem to enjoy each other's company. At our monthly pot luck meals, in our missions projects, and on Sunday mornings, we are friendly people!
Monthly, we gather at the CROS (Christians Reaching Out to Society) to help sort donated non-perishable food items for distribution through their food pantries across Palm Beach and Martin counties.
For the past 13 years, our church has hosted a community meal on Tuesday afternoons for our area homeless and hungry neighbors. We feel our Community Dinner is an important way of serving God and God's people. In addition to a meal, we provide showers, laundry, hair cuts, clothing, toiletries, and food pantry.
