With Lakeside Chautauqua’s 150th Anniversary just around the corner, we’re excited to introduce you to Lakeside Online – a new way to connect with friends year-round, explore the Chautauqua experience from the comfort of home and catch a sneak peek of what’s in store for the Sesquicentennial Celebration next summer.
From December through April, join us to discuss books written by next summer’s visiting authors and keynote speakers, participate in virtual conversations with the Chautauqua Pillar Directors and make the holiday season meaningful with an Advent Study.
For the inaugural year of Lakeside Online, programs will be free-of-charge and easily accessible via Zoom. Donations are gratefully accepted to support these mission-driven programs. Visit lakesideohio.com/today to contribute.

To kick off Lakeside Online, connect with Lakesiders near and far during the “most wonderful time of the year” and take part in a virtual Advent Study.
Led by the Rev. Dr. Charles Yoost, Lakeside Chautauqua's Senior Director of Religious Life & Pastoral Care, this 4-part study is based on the brand-new book, The Angels of Christmas, by Susan Robb. Purchase the book from The Fine Print's online bookstore.
Whether or not you believe in the existence of divine beings who can assume human appearance, this study will assert that God reaches out to each of us through messengers. Each week, the Advent Study will focus on the angelic appearance to one or more of the characters in the Christmas story.
