Sunday Night Lights (SNL)

Middle & High School students, join us for Sunday Night Lights this summer!

On a couple Sunday nights, we’re getting together for a laid-back time to have fun, connect, and just be together. No pressure, nothing formal—just a great space to hang out, laugh, and build real friendships.

Come as you are, bring your friends, and jump in. Whether you’ve been around for a while or it’s your first time, you’ll fit right in.

Blessing of the Backpacks 
Sunday, August 9 | 9:30 & 11:00 am | Worship Center

Hey families!
Grab those backpacks, lunch boxes, tote bags—or whatever your kids carry into the school year—and join us for a special Blessing of the Backpacks during worship! We’ll pray over students, teachers, and families as they head into a brand-new school year with courage, kindness, and maybe even sharpened pencils.

For Kids Ministry Families:
Check in your kids (K–5th) 10 minutes early and drop them off with their leaders. We’ll walk them into the Sanctuary together.

Running a little late? No worries—they can join you in the Sanctuary or wait with us in the Large Group Room.

Let’s kick off the school year with faith, fun, and a little holy encouragement in those backpacks!

Rally Kickoff | August 19

Middle & High School Students
Wednesday, August 19 | 6:30–8:00 PM

School is back, and so are Rally Nights!

Join us for our Rally Kickoff as we launch a new year of Wednesday nights together. Rally Nights are a place where middle and high school students can build friendships, have fun, and grow in their faith alongside caring leaders and peers.

Throughout the school year, students gather each Wednesday from 6:30–8:00 PM at Lakeway Church to connect, laugh, and encourage one another as they follow Jesus. Students begin the evening together before splitting into middle school and high school groups for teaching and small group discussions designed for their stage of life.

At Rally, students rally around one another and toward Christ. Whether your student has been coming for years or is joining us for the first time, they’ll find a welcoming community where they are seen, known, and encouraged in their walk with Jesus.
