WAYS TO SERVE AND GIVE BACK

  • Move-in Ministry

    Do you have lightly-used or new small household items sitting around? Donate them to help a family coming out of housing insecurity as they move into a safe space. Bring items (no furniture, please) to the church and they will be taken over to the donation center so people moving into secure housing can "shop" for items they need. 

  • Bring a dish for safe parking

    We regularly provide meals for the families living in their cars at Safe Parking @ LWUMC.


    Any questions or if you are interested in providing a meal in the future, please contact Betsy McClelland

  • Join a Serve Team!

    Bear Creek runs on volunteers!

    If you're looking for a way to get involved, join a serve team on Sunday mornings. Reach out to Sonya G or the church office to find out where you might fit! You can complete a contact form here.

CURRENT SERMON SERIES

  • The comma between cradle and cross

    During Lent, we will look closely at the times Jesus was transformed and shaped into the person he would be. Looking at times such as Jesus' baptism, the transfiguration, and Gethsemane, we will see in these and other stories how Jesus was in process, like we are in process.
