discussion and luncheon
sunday, june 26 - 10:30 a.m.
On Sunday, June 26, beginning at the normal worship hour, 10:30 a.m., the Growing Together Planning Team will lead a "listening session." After a brief worship time, everyone will be asked to join one of several small groups to engage in a guided discussion about Lakeside's future. This will be a pivotal time in the life of our church, and it is your opportunity to be heard. Please "Save the Date" on your calendar. After the listening time, we will all enjoy lunch together. This will be a catered event so that everyone will be able to participate in a discussion group. To let us know you will be here and make reservations for the luncheon, click here.
Meditation Group
Focusing on one thing, your breath, can shape how you move through the world and redirect your thoughts. When life seems so out of control, start with the things you can control. Focusing on one thing, your breath, can shape how you move through the world; redirect your thoughts; and help you to connect body, mind, and spirit. Our Meditation Group meets on Thursdays at noon. For information, call the church office at 252-446-0126. All distancing and sanitizing precautions are observed.
Lakeside Preschool
Registration
If you are looking for a place where your children can learn and grow in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment, then our Lakeside Preschool is for you! We are a state certified preschool and afterschool program which means that we offer a healthy, safe, and stimulating environment for the children whose lives we shape. Ongoing improvements to the playground like a higher fence and new equipment make it a fun place for the children.
In order to meet the needs of local families who must have a safe place for their children while parents are working, the Preschool is open with all of the necessary precautions for Covid 19. In addition, The Day Care provides much-needed supervision for children in the afternoon.
There are some spaces available for two, three, and four year olds. If you know a child who would benefit from a Montessori-based preschool experience, please contact Rachel Rachel Holloman at 252-903-8131 for more information.
