When you visit a new place, do you prefer a map or a guide? Ideally, it’s great to have both!
Connecting in community at a place like Lake Avenue Church is a bit like shopping at the Mall of America! The opportunities seem endless, but where does one begin! A map is essential, but so is the personal touch of a guide, someone who understands what I am looking for and who can point me in the right direction for what I need (or where I am needed!).
Over the past year the Pathways Seminar has provided a consistent place where you can find a guide and a community of others who are looking for those places of connection. Beginning November 13 we will be offering a new connecting opportunity entitled "Pathways Reception" in our new Pathways Center. Located at the west end of the Worship Center Lobby, the new Pathways Center will be a comfortable place to gather with others after each Sunday worship service where you will find resources and helpful people to guide you and help you find your place at Lake.
If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them. Simply contact us in the Adult Ministries offices at pathways@lakeave.org or 626.844.4730.

What to expect at Pathways:
- A welcoming a friendly atmosphere.

- Personal interaction around tables with a knowledgeable table leader in a casual and intimate setting.
- Fun and informative activities designed to help you discover your own giftedness and interests.

Perhaps you are already well connected at Lake. Great! Be a guide for others who are still looking. If you don’t know where to point them, send them to Pathways. In fact, why not walk with them up to FL 201/202 at 11 am on Seminar Sundays and see what’s happening for yourself?
