Remember to sign up for Parents' Night Out! Drop-off does not begin until 6:00. Thank you for helping us give our nursery workers time to prepare for the night.

** Please note that the April PNO will be moved to April 25th due to Good Friday.

Wednesday Night: Youth @ the Hangar from 6pm-8pm (BEGINNING 8/7)

Youth will meet Wednesday night at 6pm-8pm in the hangar after family night supper!

Wednesday nights typically include a lesson and some hangout time for our students and staff. Our lesson starts around 6:30pm.

This semester, we will be doing a series on the Bible’s response to modern culture, and dive into the book of Genesis!

Sunday Nights: Large Group @ the Hangar from 6pm-8pm (BEGINNING 8/11)

On Sundays, the youth will meet together to fellowship, worship, and grow in Christ together!

Dinner will be provided - followed by worship led by the youth band, teaching, and small groups based on age and gender.

This semester, we will be studying the prodigal son, and the “I Am” statements of Jesus in the gospel of John.

Sunday Morning Information

Parents, we wanted to take a second to make sure that everyone understands how Sunday mornings work for Children at Lakeside. We will have Sunday School rosters in each classroom starting this Sunday so that all staff and volunteers will have a clear understanding of which children belong in which rooms.

New Check-In Location:

From now on, we will offer two check in locations. Children in 1st-5th grades will now be able to check in on the first floor of the Education Building (also known as the Children's Building). Children from birth to kindergarten will continue to check in at the Check-In kiosk in the preschool hall. All ages must have a parent present to check-in. Thank you for helping us keep our kids safe and for helping us run our ministries as smoothly as possible.

New 2-Year-Old Nursery Room:

Starting this Sunday, September 22, we will have a nursery room for 2-year-olds. We will only offer this room during the Sunday School hour and the 11:00 service. Here is a breakdown of Nursery rooms and ages:

Nursery-Birth till 2-year-old Birthday-Room 1

2's Classroom-2 till 3-year-old Birthday-Room2

3's Classroom-3-till promoted to K4 -Room 6

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!

K4 and K5:

This Sunday School class meets in room 109. These ages are also invited to join the Children's Ministry staff and volunteers for children's church during both worship services. Please make sure to pick your children up from Sunday School and take them over to the worship service with you.

1st-5th Grades:

Elementary-age children meet for Sunday School on the bottom floor of the Education Building. We will meet together as a big group to begin our time, but then we will split into age-specific groups. We do not offer childcare for this age child during our worship services. We will miss having your 1st graders in Children's Church with us, but we know they are ready to begin to participate in worship.

This year, we are headed back to EPiC camp in Biloxi, MS.  

What is EPiC Week?:

EPiC week is a reformed youth camp that is hosted by the Evangelical Presbyterian Church! The next generation committee of our presbytery is planning this event. We are excited to join around 150 other students from our fellow presbyterian churches. (Which is double the amount of people from last year!) 

The speaker will be  Rev. Scott Cattleman, senior pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Ocean Springs, MS. Rev. Weston Blaha is our camp director.

 Location/Dates:

EPiC week will be held in Biloxi, MS. 

The dates for this trip are June 2nd to June 6th (Monday to Friday) 

 Cost:

The trip's cost is $300 per student. Deposits are $100. 

Registration and deposits are due by May 7th (Due to a restriction on large payments, we cannot accept payments via Venmo. We apologize for this inconvenience)

Meals will be covered for students in the $300 registration fee! Students will only be responsible for 2 meals on beach day. 

Registration:

This trip is limited to 25 students on a first come, first serve basis. The deposit payment will reserve a seat for your student on the trip.
