Grand Event VIII: Called to Serve
Saturday, April 13, 2019 at Lakeside Lutheran
Our 2019 USO theme is inspired by Paul's encouragement to the Galatian Christians,
"After all, brothers, you were called to freedom.
"After all, brothers, you were called to freedom.
Only do not use your freedom as a starting point for your sinful flesh.
Rather, serve one another through love." (5:13)
We are grateful for your freely-offered prayers and efforts for Lakeside, a ministry with its mission to assist parents in educating, encouraging and equipping teens for life -- not just for their earthly lives, but life eternal -- when our freedom will be complete.

Past Years
Our Grand Event on Apr. 7, 2018, was a grand success!
About 300 guests came “Back to School” and almost 70 students and dozens of adult volunteers worked hard—all to support Christian education—and netted about $80,000! Check out photos from the night on our SmugMug page.
Grand Event V: Walk by Faith
Saturday, February 13, 2016 at Windwood of Watertown
Our 2016 garden theme was inspired by Paul's reminder in 2 Corinthians,
"for we walk by faith, not by sight."
"for we walk by faith, not by sight."
What a lovely walk it can be when we trust in the LORD's promises. We are grateful for your prayers and efforts for Lakeside, a ministry with its mission to assist parents in educating, encouraging and equipping teens for life -- not just for their earthly lives, but life eternal -- when all believers will walk together in glorious heavenly gardens.
Grand Event IV: Anchored in Christ
On March 28, 2015, we held our 4th annual Grand Event at Lakeside Lutheran High School. The silent auction was in the cafeteria and the dinner and live auction was in the west gymnasium; the entire venue was decorated in a nautical theme.
205 guests attended the event, raising a net profit of $45,000.
Over 450 items were donated for the Silent/Live Auctions, Dessert Sail, Jewelry Treasure Hunt, Wine Pull and for event decorations.
Nearly 200 volunteers -- students & parents, faculty & staff, and Kohls Associates in Action -- made the night possible for our wonderful attendees.
