GREETINGS FROM LAKEVIEW
There's always something happening at Lakeview, but behind every project, event, and gathering is the same mission that brings us together. Take a few minutes to hear from Josh as he shares a message with our Lakeview community.
EVENTS AND HAPPENINGS
DEADLINE APPROACHING!
There’s still time to get your team together for the 2026 Lakeview Golf Tournament! Join us November 2 at Sterling Country Club at Houston National for a four-person scramble, breakfast, hole competitions, prizes, and a great day on the course—all while supporting Lakeview. Registration is $600 per team or $150 per player, and proceeds help support capital improvements across our campus. Register by October 23 to join us!
IT'S THE SWEETEST TIME OF THE YEAR
Let our Food Services team take a little something off your holiday to-do list! Holiday Treats are back, with pies, cookies, and other seasonal favorites made right here at Lakeview. Whether you’re planning a family gathering, need something to bring to the table, or simply want to skip the baking this year, we’d love to do it for you. Online ordering is now open for local pickup at Lakeview, and every purchase helps support our ministry.
CAMP IS CALLING
Camp is calling—and this time, it’s for the grown-ups! Camp Classics is coming to Lakeview on February 16-18, 2027, bringing back the fun, friendships, and unmistakable feeling of camp for adults 25+. Whether Lakeview was once part of your own camp story or you’ve always wondered what you missed, this weekend is your chance to experience camp all over again.
Save the date—more details are coming soon!
MID-WINTER IS GETTING CLOSE!
And this one really is for the kids! 😉 Mid-Winter Camp returns February 12–14, 2027, for students in grades 3–12. Registration is already open, and it’s not too early to start getting your group together for a weekend of worship, fun, and time together at Lakeview. Register your group now and get Mid-Winter on the calendar!
Reserve your group's spot today: iheartlakeview.org/midwinter
FACILITY UPDATES
A FRESH LOOK FOR FAIR VILLAGE
Some exciting improvements are underway at Fair Village! Our maintenance team has begun removing the old latticework around the cabins to make way for a beautiful new faux stone surround. This update will give the cabins a fresh, finished look while maintaining the rustic charm that makes Fair Village such a special place to stay.
It's all part of our ongoing efforts to care for Lakeview's facilities and keep them welcoming for the many guests who visit each year. We're excited to see this project come together and can't wait to share the finished results!
THANK YOU FOR HELPING US CELEBRATE
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Prayer Trail & Labyrinth Dedication! It was a special day of celebrating the people who have helped shape Lakeview’s ministry and setting aside these spaces for prayer, reflection, and time with God.
If you weren’t able to be with us—or would simply like to experience the dedication again—you can watch the full dedication online here: iheartlakeview.org/dedication.
TEAM SPOTLIGHT
This month, we're shining the spotlight on Amy Byrd, our Housekeeping Manager! Amy and her team play such an important role in making Lakeview feel like home for the thousands of guests who visit each year. From preparing rooms to making sure our spaces are clean, comfortable, and welcoming, their hard work is one of the many ways we put gracious hospitality into action. We're grateful for Amy and the care she brings to Lakeview every day!
MISSION OPPORTUNITIES
A retreat has the power to transform the people who attend—but what if it could also impact people far beyond Lakeview? Our new service opportunities make it easy for groups to add a meaningful mission component to their retreat, whether through assembling disaster relief kits, partnering with local ministries, or serving right here on campus. Together, we can put faith into action while creating an experience your group won't soon forget. Visit the Make an Impact page to learn more!
SHARE YOUR LAKEVIEW STORY!
We love hearing how Lakeview has impacted your life, and now it’s easier than ever to share your experience! You can now submit testimonials and feedback directly through our website, helping us spread the word and invite even more people to fall in love with Lakeview.
If you feel comfortable, we greatly appreciate video testimonials—your stories bring Lakeview to life in a way that words alone cannot. Whether it’s a favorite memory, a life-changing moment, or what keeps bringing you back, your voice can inspire future campers, families, and guests.
Thank you for being part of the Lakeview family—we can’t wait to hear from you!
