Lakewood Church Releases Christmas Single, Hosts Winter Wonderland Carnival for Special-Needs Families on Nov. 14
Lakewood Church in Houston, Harris County, Texas, released a Christmas single this week and announced its Christmas-season schedule: on November 14, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the church's Champions Club special-needs ministry will host a carnival and resource fair set in a Winter Wonderland, open to individuals and families with special needs.
The new Christmas single, built around the lyric "Come One, Come All," invites worshippers to join the choirs of angels in adoring Christ the Lord. The church says the single is out now for the Christmas season.
The November 14 carnival is a signature event of Lakewood's special-needs ministry. It features dozens of resource booths and employment information for teens and adults with special needs, and families can attend without registering in advance.
The church's Christmas toy drive is also under way and runs through December 21. Lakewood is asking congregants to donate toys for children and families in need, in person at the church or online.
Lakewood Church is one of the largest churches in the United States. Led by Pastor Joel Osteen, it meets at 3700 Southwest Freeway in Houston, with Sunday services at 8:30 and 11 a.m. Central Time.
