founders day - june 4
On Sunday, June 4, we will celebrate the 68th anniversary of the founding of Lakeside. We will recognize our charter members, hold a brief conference following worship to approve a Pulpit Search Committee, and enjoy a covered dish luncheon in Robbins Hall. Following the meal, we will enjoy a hymn sing, so come with your favorite hymns in mind. Please let us know you will be with us that day. Bring vegetables, salads, fruit, or desert dishes to add to the feast.
Lakeside Forum
What Are Your Thoughts?
A forum is planned for Sunday morning, June 11, at 9:45 in the Lecture Room. This gathering is intended to offer you an opportunity to share your thoughts with the Pastor Search Committee about their upcoming work. What are the qualities you expect in our next Senior Minister? What strengths do you hope this person will have? What are priorities you think he or she will need to address?
Candidates for this position will be looking as closely at us as we will at them. What is it about Lakeside a candidate will find attractive? It is important we all contribute to making the search process comprehensive and thoughtful. That is why we need your input. Please join us for this time of conversation. We want to hear your thoughts.

at the table
This fall our At the Table group will begin a new study combining faith and the arts which focuses on the psalms. We invite all who might be interested in joining us to spend time over the summer months reading, reflecting on, and praying with the book of Psalms. When we meet again in September, we will use 150: Finding Your Story in the Psalms by Kevin Adams and Journalling the Psalms: A Guide for Reflection & Prayer by Paula Gooder to deepen our understanding of God and ourselves.
Soul Space meets every other Thursday at noon in the sanctuary.
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.
