Taking in the beauty of God’s creations is easy to do while cruising the calm waters of Lake Lanier early on a peaceful Sunday. Lanier Christian Church takes advantage of the lake that’s essentially in its backyard each Sunday between Easter and September by offering a weekly lakeside service at 10 a.m. “It’s a casual, nature-friendly environment where the beauty of God’s creation is very obvious,” said the Rev. David Simpson of Lanier Christian Church. The lakeside service takes place at the pavilion at Gainesville Marina, 2145 Dawsonville Highway, in Gainesville.
