Our friends at Christian Student Fellowship visited with us at Lakeside on September 10 with their ministry display. CSF is busy on the UIS campus introducing students to Jesus, inviting them into community, and equipping them for mission. Through Sunday, September 24 we are collecting office items to help CSF defray some of their operating costs. Look for a drop off container at the Welcome Desk. CSF students have been a wonderful part of the Lakeside family over the years. For more about this Lakeside supported ministry, visit the CSF website: http://www.uiscsf.org/

There is more encouragement and life to be found in the Church than just a few passing moments between worship services.

Important information: Lakeside is continuing our Summer Hours into the Fall! Over the summer we have experienced an increase in energy in our services, and we are excited to build on the energy and momentum gain through the summer months. We will continue to offer two convenient service times, with services at 9:00 am and 10:30 am. This will allow us to concentrate our energy and our dedication to excellence on two services, while still giving you choices on when you want to worship. Full kid's programming will be available during both services. Mark your calendars! Continued Hours at Lakeside: 9:00 | 10:30 AM Services

There is nothing new under the sun. From the beginning, churches and believers have struggled to make an impact. This will never change. It is the nature of the church's calling and the work that lay before us to utterly depend upon God. But to encourage us along the way, the Holy Spirit inspired the book of Acts and the New Testament letters. These Scriptures paint a vivid picture of how a church of impact functions. More than this, they outline some core principles that, along with God's power and favor, promise to deepen our impact in God's world.

The Faithweavers class will be looking at some of the VIPs in the Bible Each week we'll look at someone different, so come when you can. We hope you will join us in Room 109 at 9:00 am Sundays.
