You're Invited to Easter at Lakeside

Easter is a time of hope, renewal, and celebration - and we'd love for you to join us.

Good Friday Service
Friday, April 3 at 3PM

Together, we’ll reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus through scripture, worship, and prayer. A special program will be available for kids up to Grade 5, running at the same time as the service. Activity clipboards will be available for youth.

Easter Sunday Celebration
Sunday, April 5 at 10AM

Join us for a joyful, all-ages Easter celebration! We’ll gather as one big church family - kids, youth, and adults - to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. As part of this special Sunday, Lakeside Kids and Youth programs will pause so our amazing volunteers can worship and celebrate together. Activity clipboards will be available for kids and youth in the service.

Whether you’ve been part of our community for years or you're just thinking about visiting, you are welcome here. We can't wait to celebrate Easter with you!

FAQ

You can find us at 7654 Conservation Road, right by Guelph Lake. If you’ve been to the conservation area before, chances are you’ve driven right by our building. Come in the second laneway (if you’re coming from Victoria Road). If you need accessible parking, there are a number of spots available on the paved section.

On Good Friday, we have a full experience for kids up to Grade 5 at Lakeside Kids, then on Easter Sunday, everyone will celebrate together in the auditorium.

Both our Good Friday and Easter Sunday services will be livestreamed on our website and YouTube. Go to live.lakesidechurch.ca at 3pm on Friday, April 3 and 10am on Sunday, April 5.

We also livestream our service every Sunday morning if you’d like to visit us online for any of our services.

The short answer is, whatever you feel comfortable in. The atmosphere at Lakeside is casual so some people come in jeans or shorts while others prefer to dress up a bit, especially during a holiday. You won’t be out of place with either option.

Great question! Our services run approximately an hour. Our Good Friday service will feel a bit more somber and reflective while Easter Sunday will look much more like a regular Sunday service, with songs of celebration and praise. 

Lenten Reflections

In recent years, many of us have done the hard work of untangling our faith and asking difficult questions, examining what we were taught, letting go of beliefs or patterns that no longer reflect the heart of Jesus. That work matters. It takes courage. It is often holy work.

But Lent reminds us that taking our faith apart is not the same as being made new. Untangling clears the ground. Transformation is what God grows in the soil that remains.

As we enter the season of Lent, we want to focus not just on what we are leaving behind, but on what (and who) we are becoming. Each week you're invited into a simple spiritual practice - small, steady steps that make space for the Spirit to reshape us from the inside out.
