Interest Group Topics

This is a list of the 2023 interest groups. The 2024 list will be posted in the spring.

Bible Centered (Lunch time) Interest Groups

Spiritual GiftS

Lunch

What are spiritual gifts? How do I know my spiritual gifts?

Let's talk about these questions and figure it out together.

PRayer walk

Lunch

What is a prayer walk? Come find the answer and help create a Lakeside prayer walk.

FORGIVENESS: FREE OF CHARGE

Lunch

It has been said, “To Forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the
prisoner was you.” Yikes! How do you forgive someone who has really hurt you?

How do you forgive someone who doesn’t think they did anything wrong? We are going to dig deep into Forgiveness. What does Jesus say about Forgiveness? How did Jesus model Forgiveness?

As we dig deep, you’ll unpack your own stuff: “Do I need to forgive anyone? How will I forgive them? Have I hurt someone and need forgiveness for myself? Do I need to forgive myself?” Yep, it may sound a little scary, but “Unforgiveness” sometimes comes with a high price tag. In this interest group, we’re going to find Forgiveness: Free of Charge.

EVERYDAY LIFE WITH GOD

Lunch

What does every day life look like in today’s world with God! Come learn about life getting too hard to stand, so worshiping and kneeling in prayer become a necessity! As you get to know the names of God and understand their meaning, God’s character will become real to you in life-changing ways. By studying and understanding the characteristics of God as revealed through His names, you will be better equipped to face hardship and victory, loss and provision, and all of the challenges life throws at you.

Action of Athletes

Lunch

Who you are on the field or court can define who you are off the field. Let's talk about how we can play hard and honor our faith.

People of the Bible

Lunch

Joseph was obvioulsy his dad's favorite, that caused some tension. Jacob tricked his twin brother into trading his inheritance for stew. Moses didn't feel like he was up to what God was calling him to do.
