Lakeside Women’s Board
June 20, 2010: Lakeside Women of the ELCA are led by an elected Board who make plans and attend to details of this important program in our congregation’s life. Today, at both Services, these leaders are being installed so that we can offer our prayers on their behalf and encourage the support of our church family for what they do.

November note from your president:
Dear Women of the Church,
Ever since Lakeside Church was founded the women of the church have been very much involved in activities that have given them opportunities to serve and to grow in their faith. Some of these activities of course, involve the whole church family but othersare activities developed with women in mind by our Lakeside Women. There is a little something to that Venus and Mars theory!
Here is a list of some of the activities for women that take place at Lakeside:
Sarah Circle - Monthly Bible study, prayer and fellowship
Dorcas - Monthly Quilting and Needle Craft Group helping to meet various needs locally and around the world
Women in Christian Fellowship - Participation in a community group for bi-monthly lunches.
Fair Trade Market - 3rd Sunday Sept-May, sale of coffee, tea and chocolate
