KIDS
Kids Church Current Series

This month at Lakeside Kids we are doing an outrageous series called, “The New Normal”, where we are learning that following God is anything BUT normal! Each week we will use Costume Characters, Puppets, Games, and Object Lessons to teach our kids what God thinks “normal” should look like. Make sure your kids are a part of this awesome series! Lakeside Kids meets in the gym every Sunday at 10AM, where the kids are taken to their age appropriate Sunday School classrooms. Then at 11AM all ages (K-6 th Grade) meet back together for praise, worship, altar time, and a lesson that they’ll never forget. You don’t want to miss what’s happening, so make sure your kids are a part of September’s series: “The New Normal”!

Current Youth Series

Here at Lakeside Student Nation, we don’t believe in just having fun and making friends. We believe in experiencing God in a powerful and lifechanging way! But what’s next? What’s next when you’ve encountered the presence of the Living God, and His Spirit is flowing through you? What’s next?... What’s next is that you take a STAND for God in your schools, your workplaces, and your neighborhoods, and you take the light that’s been put inside you, and you shine it for the world to see! During the month of September, we are reading through the book of Daniel, and will be learning about 4 Hebrew boys who risked it all when they decided to STAND OUT for God! So Join us every Wednesday in September for the powerful series titled: “STAND OUT!”

Small Groups

If you are in 7 th Grade, 12 th Grade, or anywhere in between, then we have a place for you! Our small groups meet every Wednesday during the youth group to take on life together. Here at Lakeside Student Nation, we believe that life is better together, and we are determined to make sure that our people aren’t just people that go to church, but that we ARE the church… the body of believers; the family of God! Small groups are our way of doing that. If you are looking for a place to meet people, make friends, and grow in your relationship with God, then come on out this Wednesday at 7PM and find out just how easy it is here to find where you belong!

 “World Changers Weekend” is a weekend of empowerment, evangelism, training and outreach. It's a weekend that will change your life! Join us as we seek to answer the most important call we have ever received: Go into all the world and preach the Gospel!

Imagine literally touching hundreds with the love of Jesus! Imagine representing Lakeside and our Lord in Acts of Kindness.
Imagine a dynamic soul-winning opportunity impacting our entire Metro Area. It's not a dream, it's what you can experience at World Changers Weekend!

Three-Fold
  1. Door to Door - Inviting to Edge of Eternity
  2. Parking Lot Prayer Station - Free prayers of blessing to all
  3. Gas Station Outreach - Gas for $0.99 per gallon (10 gallon max)

Here's our Soul-Winning strategy:
Lakeside will provide gas at a gas station for $1 less per gallon for all guests; we will pump gas all day long until 10,000 gallons has been used; each car will be served with acts of kindness; but best of all each driver/passenger will be invited to Lakeside, Edge of Eternity and to know Jesus!

How can you Help?
We Need: Greeters, Traffic Controllers, Gas Pumpers, Windshield Washers, and more! Plus, you can bless this Outreach with your prayers and your giving.
