American South Pilgrimage
Through the American South Pilgrimage, led in partnership with The Telos Group, we learn how to tell a more true and honest American story by taking an in-depth look at the ongoing legacy of slavery and racism in our country and listening to people who continue to be negatively impacted by this legacy. We are then given tools that help us tell a more true and honest American story so we may help bring healing and repair within our local community. We all can make a difference: from teachers to diplomats, artists to politicians, stay-at-home parents to entrepreneurs, students to police officers, liberals to conservatives, activists to faith leaders. Anyone and everyone willing to enter this deeply personal, transformative journey helps to co-create a different, and better, reality for all.

Worship for Weary Souls
"Worship for Weary Souls" which is a "Longest Night" or "Blue Christmas"-esque service.
The holidays are a season of “joy, joy, joy” but for many of us, it’s also a time of loneliness a grief. A “Blue Christmas” or “Longest Night” service is a worship service for people in need of space to bring their grief and sadness to God in the midst of a season that seems to require us to pretend that grief doesn’t exist. If you or someone you know is grieving this holiday season, please join us at Lakewood Presbyterian Church for this contemplative, interactive, worship service.
