Preachers of the Week
2023 Preachers of the Week
Religion in Christian tradition is both personal and social holiness. There are many expressions of religion, and one’s faith journey is not the same as another’s. Each summer, Lakeside invites preachers from around the world to bring their message to our Sunday Community Worship Services at 10:30 a.m. while the Chautauqua Choir sings.
Worship music for the 2023 Chautauqua season is generously supported by James E. Beardsley and Doris F. Beardsley.
Every preacher represents a different understanding of faith. We encourage them to share stories of their own faith journeys and lead our Faith for Living Hour at 9 a.m. Monday-Thursday in Orchestra Hall.
We’re excited to welcome the following preachers to bring their different perspectives of faith to Lakeside in 2023 for our 150th Anniversary:
