Welcome to Lakemore United Methodist Church
Come join us for worship each Sunday at 9:45 a.m. in the sanctuary. If space is needed, we will have an additional space available inside the church to view the service as it happens. We will be live-streaming this service, so you can also watch it at home as it happens. After it finishes, it will be posted and you can watch it at anytime. A CD audio recording of the service is also available by calling the church office at 330-733-6531.
The Parking Lot service has concluded with the colder temperatures. We hope you will feel comfortable to come inside for worship, but it will also be available on-line, if you are more comfortable doing that.
We want to have in-church worship in the safest environment possible. This does mean some added precautions. We want all to wear a mask, if your health/breathing permits. We will have masks available for those who may need one. We will practice social distancing and seating to enable spacing. Some of our former practices will also be omitted including a passed offering, Junior Church, bulletins, and coffee fellowship. Our hope is to add these things when we can do so safely. Thank you for your understanding.

*********************************************
A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR CHURCH:
In 1919, a group of women decided that a Sunday School was needed in Lakemore. They founded the Union Sunday School Class, and soon established the Pioneer Class and a Men’s Fellowship Class.
A preaching service began with various ministers of nearby congregations filling the pulpit. Sunday School and Church services were held in several locations until a basement, one story block building was built on Church Street in 1922.
By a congregational vote, the membership of approximately fifty people decided to affiliate with the Methodist Episcopal Church. The church continued to grow in spirit , membership, and financial resources.
As a step of vision and to enable further growth, the present church structure was built and consecrated on Nov. 23, 1958.
The passion for Christ that was present in the beginning is still alive today. New and existing ministries await your input and involvement as we continue the tradition of loving and serving Jesus Christ.
