Glorify God and make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world by welcoming all neighbors home to grow in faith and serve Christ. 

Do you have a heart for helping young people grow in faith and community? Lakeside’s Youth Ministry is looking for volunteers to serve alongside our students through fun, fellowship, and faith-building activities. There are opportunities to teach, to serve as a "second adult",  lead games, or to help with special events throughout the year—every role makes a difference!

We’ll be holding a Youth Ministry Leader Training on Sunday, November 16, right after 10:30 worship. This is a great chance to learn more, meet other leaders, and see how you can make an impact.

Is redemption possible for Ebenezer Scrooge? Join us for a four-week Advent study on Sunday mornings at 9:30AM (Nov 30, Dec 7, Dec 14, Dec 21) as we explore The Redemption of Scrooge by Matt Rawle. Using Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, we’ll journey with Scrooge and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future to discover what Jesus teaches us about second chances, generosity, and living for others. Chapters include “Bah! Humbug!” “The Remembrance of Christmas Past,” “The Life of Christmas Present,” and “The Hope of Christmas Future.” Come rediscover and reinvigorate your faith this Advent as we look at a familiar classic through the lens of Christ.

Join us Sunday, December 7, 2025 for a time of joy and song. 

As we look toward a new year of ministry at Lakeside, we invite you to join us in moving Forward in Faith by making a pledge for 2026. Your pledge is more than a number on a card—it’s a prayerful commitment that helps our church plan for worship, missions, children and youth ministry, community outreach, and care for one another in Christ’s name.

If you haven’t yet turned in your 2026 pledge, please take a moment to do so. You can bring your pledge card to worship, mail it to the church office, or complete it online. Together, as we are faithful in little and faithful in much, we trust that God will continue to lead Lakeside forward in faith into the coming year.

Please sign up via Signup Genius to help keep the days organized. SignUpGenius. This should give families greater flexibility. Ms. Danielle, who is on this email, will help on Sunday mornings and will provide lessons and explanations for the acolytes. Serving as an acolyte is a meaningful way for our children to take part in leading worship and to grow in their faith as part of the Lakeside family.

Pass on this enrollment information to anyone you know with preschool age children.
