Perfectly Flawed - Sunday, February 22, 2026

We will start the Ladies Group back up with a Lenten study. We will start on Feb 22 after church and end the week of March 29. Please read the first week for discussion on the 22nd.

 

In the six-week Bible study Perfectly Flawed, we see that there is an unparalleled power Jesus gives that can only be found in our weakness. We discover the strength of Jesus that is available to each of us. Learn to persevere in your faith, live confidently, and boldly step into God’s purpose for you. See how Peter’s story invites us to embrace imperfection, find strength in the relentless grace of God, and discover that each of us is perfectly flawed yet deeply loved by God.

BBQ Potluck

BBQ Potluck

Spring Gathering - Sunday, March 1, 2026

REGISTER HERE: Churchwide Potluck • Sunday, March 1

Everyone is invited to stay after worship on Sunday, March 1 for a churchwide potluck lunch! This will be a relaxed, come-as-you-are gathering as we share food, conversation, and time together as a church family.

In honor of Texas Independence Day (March 2), we’re leaning into a Texas-style BBQ potluck. If you’re able, bring anything BBQ — main dishes, classic sides, or desserts all welcome. Brisket, pulled pork, beans, potato salad, cobbler, cookies… it all fits.

More than the food, this is about community — a chance to meet new faces, reconnect with old friends, and spend unhurried time together. Whether you’re new to Lakeside or have been here for years, there’s a place for you at the table.

Bring a dish if you can, or just bring yourself — there will be plenty to share. All are welcome, and we hope you’ll join us for this time of fellowship and celebration.

REMINDER!!

Childrens Ministry Volunteers

Childrens Ministry Volunteers

Lakeside’s Children’s Ministry is a place where faith is planted, curiosity is welcomed, and children are reminded that they are deeply loved by God and by their church family. Each Sunday, we have the joy of walking alongside our youngest disciples as they learn Bible stories, ask big questions, and experience God’s love in age-appropriate and meaningful ways.

 We are seeking volunteers who are willing to share their time, care, and encouragement with our children. You don’t need to be a teacher or Bible expert—just someone with a willing heart and a desire to make a difference.

Volunteers help in a variety of ways, including assisting on Sunday mornings, supporting special events, and creating a safe, welcoming environment for kids and families. Schedules are flexible, and training and support are provided.

When you serve in Children’s Ministry, you’re doing more than filling a role—you’re helping shape faith, build confidence, and create a church where families feel at home. Even a small commitment can have a lasting impact.

If you’d like to learn more or are interested in serving, we’d love to talk with you. Please fill out an interest form, reach out to the church office, or speak with a member of the Children’s Ministry team.

Thank you for helping Lakeside be a place where children are known, loved, and encouraged to grow in faith.
