HAPPENING THIS FEBRUARY AT TLC ...
The theme for February is A Study of Habakkuk: Strong Faith for Confusing Times: Life can be difficult. At some point, most of us have wondered, "Where is God?" We may even have thought, It seems like evil is winning and God is silent. We have a choice as to how we respond to the difficulties in our life. Can we choose "yet I will rejoice in the Lord" today? The prophet Habakkuk had an attitude worth noting. He made the choice to rejoice!
Habakkuk was troubled by the moral and spiritual decline of the world around him, much like we are today. But God’s response troubled him even more. God used the wicked nation of Babylon to punish Judah. Habakkuk did not understand God's plan.
However, he could rejoice because he had learned to rely on the steadfast love and faithfulness of the God he trusted. Although God's plan was not clear to Habakkuk, he had learned to trust God. He lived by faith and with this kind of faith comes rejoicing. Join us for the month of February as we build our faith so we too can face confusing times in the confidence that God is by our side.
We meet on Sundays at 10:30 am in-person or online on Facebook, YouTube or our website. Did you miss Sunday's service? Click here to watch the recording.
Our Missions Focus for the month of February is Tropicana. In recognition of Black History Month, TLC is raising funds for Tropicana Community Services, a not-for-profit organization in our community that offers culturally aware and supportive programs to those in need, like counselling, settlement services, childcare, education, personal development, and employment services, with a predominant focus on the Caribbean, Black and African communities of Toronto. Visit the Missions page to learn more.

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.
In 2022, 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 340 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.
