Our Minds are Open...

Each Sunday we gather to hear a message and the music that will touch us, provoke us and move us, spiritually recharging us for the week to come.

Drawn from Biblical insights, relevant people, places and events, the sermon follows the liturgical calendar.

Our pastors, Paul Henshaw and Kim Risedorph, share preaching duties and provide worship which enables us to grow spiritually and to understand how we can better face today’s fast-paced and often volatile world.

 

Our Hearts are Open...

Living our faith through outreach to our world is an integral part of who we are at Lynnewood. We see the power of God's grace when we are serving the needs of others.

Our outreach budget, monthly offerings and activities focus on giving our time and resources to issues such as homelessness, hunger, healthcare, disaster relief and senior care.

 

Our Ministry Partners include:

     Fred Finch Youth Center - quality programs for children, youth and young adults

     Habitat for Humanity - building homes for low-income families

     Hope Hospice - compassionate care for patients and their families

     Open Heart Kitchen - serves the Tri-Valley 10,000 free meals each month

     Pleasanton Community Counseling Center - providing low-cost counseling

     Pleasanton Gardens - a low-income, senior living community

     Tri-valley Haven - serving the hungry in our community

Wesley Youth Homes - group homes for teenaged young women

 

Annual Outreach Activities include:

  • Adult Mission Trips - domestic and international aide efforts
  • Christmas Giving Tree - annual event for underprivileged children
  • Food Drives - collecting food to feed the hungry
  • Heifer International Dinner - helping others help themselves
  • Ministries of the Heart - offering a variety of opportunities
  • Sierra Service Project - youths repairing Native American homes

 

Our Doors are Open...

Our shared spiritual journey is deepened by diverse points of view and our doors are open to people at all stages of their faith journey.

Lynnewood is a fun, friendly community. In addition to worship and community service, our programs help us become better citizens, more effective parents and more caring people.

Youth programs aim to help young people make appropriate and responsible life choices, value their faith and appreciate a life of service to others.
