My 21 yr old sister with 2 children is struggling. she just got out of a 4 yr bad relationship and has been bouncing from home to home for the last 4 months and is looking for somewhere to live. Some one please pray for her and her children. She is a good mother and a good girl. I would let her stay with me but the people I rent from won't allow it.
My sister found a place to live. It is with a family member and it actually is a blessing from God. Jesus is always making intersession on our behalf. Praise God. Thanks for who ever out there that may have prayed. Thank you!!!
I will pray for your sister. Like the other responders I don't know where you are, but I have been well fed at Forest Hills United Methodist Church at the corner of Linebaugh and N. Boulevard. We have both contemporary and traditional services and a growing youth group and childrens ministry. Our Pastor is a woman and brings fresh relevant meaning to God's word.
Hi B.,
My name is Y., I have a daughter 10, and son 22 months.When we came to Lakeland 3 years ago,we looked for a good church.My daughter never wanted to leave my sight.So it was hard to find a church where she felt comfortable.It was also hard to go to the kids ministries and she always sat with us in church.
Well we are going to Victory church, it is a big church, some people dont like that, but it was the first church that my kids liked, and where we every Sunday get a message that we can associate with, learn and use.
So try it out!
Good Luck,
Y.
St. Mark the Evangelist on Cross Creek is a wonderful church and very family oriented. If you are interested in more information please just let me know. It is great that you are diving in for your sake and your childrens. A single mama of 4 - that is a heavy load. And what a wonderful career that you are giving of yourself at Lighthouse Ministries too. YOU GO MAMA!!!
Hi B.,
My name is R. and I attend Crestview Baptist Church on Old Polk City Road in north Lakeland. We have a great ministry for children of all ages and we currently pick up the women and children from Lighthouse for our church services. I know there are many opportunities in the children's area as well as all over the church. We are a very welcoming church and I think you would enjoy it.
Our service times are 8 and 10:30 am Sunday mornings and 6:30 in the evening. We also have a children's choir in the evenings for K-5th grade.
Hope to see you there!

I know Lighthouse Ministry is off 78th street in Tampa. If this is the area you are in - There is some great church's that are ran out of One Thing Prayer Center in Brandon at Lumsden and Kings Avenue. They are smaller congregation that are really close network. Then there is Brandon Assemby of GOd around the corner from there on Kings Ave., they have a great children's program and programs for all ages. Hope this helps.
First Baptist Church at the Mall I have found is great. Non judgemental - come as you are. They have great childrens programs also. Wednesday night there is Awanas for children ages 2-5th grade. My daughter is in that and LOVES it (she's 1 month shy of 3). There is also a program called Mom Time for mothers of preschool and school age children. Very relaxed atmosphere. Wednesday night programs being at 6:00 p.m. and Sunday services are 8:00, 9:30, & 11:00 a.m. and SS is 9:30 and some at 11:00 a.m. If you need additional information check out the website www.fbclakeland.org.
