Inviting and Encouraging
Lake Park is the spiritual home for people with a wide range of interests. We try to incorporate those interests into the Inviting and Encouraging ministries.
Contact the Church office to volunteer for any of the below ministries. The Inviting and Encouraging ministry includes:
- Youth and Family Activities
- Family Centered Small Group
- Movie Club
- Guys’ Night Out
- Gals’ Night Out
- Brunch Bunch
- LGBT Brunch
These opportunities for ministry are listed in categories delineated by the marks of discipleship under our ELCA-wide Call to Discipleship: Living the Faith which include prayer, worship, learning, inviting, encouraging, serving and giving.
Youth and Family Activities
Plan fun outings and retreats for the kids. Plan cool parties (like Halloween, Christmas, and Mardi Gras). Lead parenting and faith discussions and learn to enrich faith-life in the home.
Meetings occasionally.
Contact Pastor David to volunteer or with your fun ideas for additional events!
Family Centered Small Group
This group includes families, singles, and everything in between.
