Sunday Worship Services: May 24
Our world has changed dramatically over the past few months due to COVID-19. At Lakeside, the health and safety of our guests, residents, staff and community are important to us. We're making sure to practice safe social distancing and moving our Religious Life programs outdoors to the Steele Memorial Bandstand or online. Learn more about Lakeside's plan for Religious Life programming for the summer and this weekend . Don't miss our 10:30 a.m. Livestream of the Community Worship Service tomorrow! Details below.
Dockside Worship

This informal worship service near water’s edge includes prayer requests, a variety of Christian hymns and contemporary songs, an inspiring message and the Sacrament of Holy Communion (with individual commercially packaged communion kits). The Rev. Dr. Scott Wilson, Lakeside Chautauqua's Dockside Worship Coordinator, will be preaching. His sermon, titled "Leadership 101," is based on Luke 19:1-10.

Please note the change of location. While some seating is provided in Bettinger Park, guests are encouraged to bring their own chairs and blankets and to practice safe social distancing. In the case of inclement weather, this service will be cancelled.
