Lakeside Kidz Sunday Information
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.

Hello Parents!
As many of you know, every semester we our parents to help us provide meals for Sunday nights - and in true Lakeside fashion, our parents always shower us with amazing meals and donations! We are so incredibly thankful to have such amazing families support our youth ministry. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
Just as we have last school semester, we are asking for cooked meals or a donation of around $125 for our Sunday Night youth meals. Donations could be made to Lakeside's venmo (@lakesidepres - with the note "youth meal") or cash can be given to the youth staff. Meals can be whatever you'd like! In the past we've had parents make spaghetti, tacos, pulled pork, and etc. We normally expect around 35 students every Sunday night. We have the avalable dates for sign up on this form.

Foundations Meals
In preparation for this new year we are once again looking for volunteers to provide food for our kids on Sunday nights. Since we have so many children now we decided to put two slots in the sign up instead of just one. However, if you prefer to "fly solo" feel free to sign up for both slots. As always, we want you to know how much we appreciate your willingness to partner with us as we serve our Lakeside kids.
