Sundays

All are welcome to join us on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. to worship God, embrace community and ground ourselves for the week ahead. Worship at Lakeshore is participatory, soul-nourishing and thought-provoking. Our music program prides itself on diversity, excellence and joy. We celebrate our faith through the eyes of children as well as seasoned believers; through ancient Christian traditions as well as 21st -century adaptations. Through sermon and reflection, praise and prayer, the gathered community returns weekly to affirm our faith, engage in rituals of renewal, connect with one another and deepen our commitments to love God and neighbor. Some folks like to get dressed up, others come in t-shirts and jeans. There is something for everyone, and don’t be surprised if no two services look quite the same!

Following worship, all are encouraged to gather for a time of fellowship, coffee and snacks. During coffee hour, people nosh, connect and enjoy the sound of children playing. This is a great opportunity for the community to check in on one another, celebrate together, and make new friends.

Christian Education opportunities take place following coffee hour.
