Sunday Services
At Lakeside Church we don’t see Sundays as the only day we can go to church. We believe the church is the people who are part of the family of God and therefore whenever we meet together in the name of Christ we are His church.
Sunday is still special to us, as it was special to the early church and has been down the ages. The church met on a Sunday to separate themselves from the Jews, who met on the Sabbath (Saturday). Sunday to them was a working day. Today we still meet on a Sunday as it still a time when the majority of people are available.
The believers first met on the "Lord's Day", a Sunday, to break bread, pray, fellowship and share in the apostles’ teaching. These are still the principles and practices of our church today.
We gather to worship and praise, through music and song, through prayer and the teaching of God’s Word. Generally we follow a teaching series, but we break from that to keep to the basic Christian calendar of Christmas and Easter.
After the formal part of the service, we have an informal time of fellowship over a cup of tea and a doughnut.
