OUR TEACHING FOCUS IN NOVEMBER: CHRIST ABOVE ALL
In a world filled with distractions, competing voices, and endless expectations, how do we keep Christ at the centre of our lives?
Join us for Christ Above All, a sermon series exploring the book of Colossians. Together, we'll discover the supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus Christ, what it means to be rooted in Him, and how a genuine relationship with Christ transforms the way we think, live, and love. Through Paul's letter to the Colossians, we're reminded that Jesus is not simply part of our lives—He is above all, and in Him we have everything we need.
Join us as we grow deeper in faith and learn what it truly means to put Christ first. We meet on Sundays at 10:30 am in-person or online on YouTube or our website. Did you miss Sunday's service? Click here to watch the recording.
Our missions partner for November is Open Doors Canada. For more than 65 years OpenDoors has worked in the world’s most oppressive and restrictive countries, strengthening Christians to stand strong in the face of persecution and equipping them to shine Christ’s light in these places. When Christians are strengthened in the Lord, they begin to demonstrate God’s forgiveness and reach out in love, even to their oppressors. One of the greatest challenges to Christians living under oppression is isolation – from God’s word and from the body of Christ. Open Doors empowers persecuted Christians by supplying Bibles and Christian literature, training Christian leaders, facilitating social/economic projects and uniting believers in the West in prayer for Christians, who are the most persecuted religious group in the world and are oppressed in at least 70 countries.

TLC MISSIONS
The Lakeside Church is a missions-minded church. We partner with local, national and international organizations in their missions to go and share the good news of freedom, hope and new life in Jesus Christ with our world. We give so they can go.
We also support the 340 million Christians worldwide who face high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith in Jesus.
This year, TLC will partner with 12 organizations that do missions work locally and internationally. We will highlight one organization per month and come alongside them as they tangibly spread the love of Jesus to a hurting and needy world.
Please click here to support these worthy causes.
Amazingly, the 388 million persecuted believers around the world don’t look to us to end their struggle. Instead, these courageous men and women ask for just two things: Scripture resources and prayers.
Please click here to see how you can help to support them.
