📢 Church Partner Shoutout: Epic Church Lakeland A new partner on the Dream Center team, Epic Church has already demonstrated their understanding of loving others through acts of service. "The Core," Epic's youth group led by Jeremy & Abbey Baxter, spends one morning a month walking the streets of the Dream Center community, picking up trash and offering a word of prayer to residents along the way. Recognizing that a clean neighborhood makes for happier neighbors, this youth group has committed to becoming a regular presence at the Dream Center's First Saturday at the Center. If you would like more information on First Saturday at the Center, please contact Connections Coordinator, Whittney Borem, at wborem@dreamcenterlakeland.org.

Check out this story from ABC Action News! We are convinced that bringing consistent, tangible examples of hope and peace into our communities brings sustainable change. Jesus was offering more than a kind suggestion when he asked us to love our neighbor. This is how we change the world. Always Grateful to City of Lakeland and LPD who are empowering us joining us in serving all of our city. This is just the beginning. https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/region-polk/lakeland-crime-stats-fall-police-attribute-community-action

📢 Church Partner Shoutout: Victory Church Lakeland Florida This church partner shoutout may be of no surprise, but it is certainly well deserved!
