Extending the Hand of Christ
In addition to our many mission partners that we support financially, we offer intergenerational opportunities to actually DO mission. Some are annual, quarterly, monthly or event driven.
Parents and school age children can work alongside older members of our faith community. Whatever your interest and schedule, there are mission programs for you.
Community Meal 
This delicious hot meal is served free to anyone at 12:30 p.m. on the last Sunday of the month. Volunteers of all ages can help set tables, bake or cook, provide beverage refills and, of course, clean up!
Family Promise of Celeveland
Approximately quarterly, for one week, our church family provides the evening staffing for this multi-church outreach to temporarily homeless families who are housed at St. Christopher House in Rocky River. We cook dinner, help children with their homework, chat with tired parents and stay the night so that guests can rest comfortably and securely.

LPC, in conjunction with our church’s Synod, offers free health assessments and education to members of the community. Blood pressure, weight, dental health and mental health are just a few areas of focus. A physician is on site for referrals. The event normally occurs in June.

Occasionally we organize a work crew for a Habitat home in the Cleveland area. This is a great opportunity for church members young and old to work together and help neighbors in need.
www.Habitat.orgCrop Walk/Walk for Hunger
These events raise monies for hunger relief. We have young, old and even congregational dogs that join in. Lots of fun for all, and great annual fundraisers.

Our annual seasonal gift sharing, focused on children, alternates between Lakewood Christian Service Center and New Life Community. We also have a Christmas “mitten tree” where we share cold weather gear of all sorts.
Hunger Sunday
On the first Sunday ofeach month, a special collection is received to be used for local hunger ministries overseen by the Lakewood Community Service Center.
Event Driven Collections
If there’s a need, the Lakewood Presbyterian Congregation will band together to share God’s bounty. We have done school supplies, crisis pregnancy and tools for Habitat for Humanity as examples.
