Bible Centered (Lunch time) Interest Groups

What's My Spiritual Gift

Lunch

Who is the Holy Spirit? How do I hear the Holy Spirit? 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.

HEROES & VILLaiNS and Scripture

Lunch

The Bible is packed with stories of courageous people who loved and served God, and how He used them to do great things in the world. It is also filled with villainous people who disobeyed God and did horrible things. This group will discuss a little of both!

Find your people

Lunch

In a world that's both more connected and more isolating than ever before, we’re often tempted to do life alone, whether because we’re so busy or because relationships feel risky and hard.

You were built by God for deep relationship. In this group we will go through topics from the book "Find Your People" and how it relates to us.

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.

Let's Get Chiseled

Lunch

Taking a look at our life to become the unique masterpiece He created in each of us.

DO what you are: God made you for a purpose

Lunch

In our group we will complete career assessments. We will discuss the ways God gifts His children to serve in His Kingdom on Earth.

UnOFFENDABLE

Lunch

How just one change can make all of life better.

It turns out giving up your “right” to be offended can be one of the most freeing, healthy, simplifying, relaxing, refreshing, stress-relieving, encouraging things you can do.

Fearless

Lunch

Fear can keep us from being all that God has called us to be.

We will look at several powerful moments in the Bible where fearlessness is modeled. We will see what scripture has to say about being bold in the face of whatever the world throws our way, and empowering us to do just that.

Choir

Lunch

This group learns new songs, black spirituals, and lakeside classics. Take part in the walking choir and sing for your camp peers during praise and worship.

If you select Choir as your lunchtime interest group, your Bible Centered" interest groups will be at dinner time.

Worship Band

Lunch

We are looking for band members that want to worship, learn, and just have a good time worshipping God. In each session, we will do a quick devotional, pray and then make some music together. 

If you play keys, guitar, bass, drums sing, or you have another talent you would like us to consider, send a quick video of you using your talent to gwayne.wells@gmail.com or text to (937)684-6684

Worship Band members will also be joing Choir for some sessions. If you select Choir as your lunchtime interest group, your Bible Centered" interest groups will be at dinner time.
