Another way to line pastor brad's pocket I'm sure. THis church is run like a corporation with a corporate culture in my opnion. Myself and several friends have had really bad experiences when we attended. When a family member was dying I asked if the pastor Brad or someone could visit my family member and pray for them etc. I got the run around for a week and then was told to ask someone from my small group to help. First, I didn't have time for a small group and second, this was their way to pawn off any "work" to other members. I would love to see how much the pastor and their speakers make. Do they publish this info? Do the funds pay for vacations (retreats as they like to call them) their house, utilities etc. This church is like entertainment with a Chirstian vibe from what I experienced.
Americans, don't just come in one color or race.

This series will not cost you anything, other than
purchasing the workbook. However, you can also come and take
notes rather than follow along in the workbook if you desire. I do hope you will join us on August 20th. I think you will really enjoy Mark Gregston and his series on parenting & guiding teenagers. This is also a great if you have preteens too.

A lot of different churches are recommending this program for parents of teenagers. I looked into the Heartlight Ministries webpage and read a few of their 'parenting todays teens' newsletters and weekly subjects. I do not see anything secretly coded in the newsletters that is going to make Lakeside church and pastors rich. In fact, a quick google of the book brought up five different churches currently using the same book for their parenting classes and charging the same amount of money.

I'm not sure how much time and personal investment some people choose to put into their church and fellowship with-in the church; but I have found that there is a balance between personal investment of time, and moral support in gains. I have not ever found someone super happy with their church if they are just weekend warriors, regardless of the church they attend. Going to church and being a member of a church is a lifestyle commitment. The more you invest into that lifestyle, the greater the rewards. If Lakesides's style of leadership leaves you dissatisfied in their services then the church may not be a good fit for you. Or, perhaps you do not understand the way the church is organized. If that is the case they have a class for new members call Lakeside 101. I recommend you go ti, it will help you understand the church's services.

Anyway, I would like to attend this teen parenting class, if I am able to set the time aside. I understand that the response has been positive by many families. Certainly many of the subjects appear to be common threads in the developmental relationships of teens and parents.

Hi everyone!

If you are interested in doing this class again I will post it again next Spring. I will also be working on facilitating another class, but I am reviewing the material. In the meantime, I highly recommend getting & reading the book "Tough Guys & Drama Queens" by Mark Gregston. He writes about a lot of the things that we discussed in the "Dealing with Today's Teens" class.

PM me for more information!

Tina :)
