What to Expect in Worship
You will be greeted at the front door, then you will enter the Welcome Center. You will probably be greeted again, either by the pastor or an usher. Hang your coat in the coat rack, then get a nametag, available for all, whether this is your first visit or you’ve been here hundreds of times. Coffee and water are on a cart, and you are welcome to take beverages into the worship space.
The usher will give offer you a bulletin packet, which includes a Communication Card, Devotion and special announcements.
Children are invited to participate in the Kid’s Church and Nursery programs during Sunday service. Children aged 5 and under can be checked in at the nursery before the service, and elementary aged children will be dismissed during the service. Someone from the Family Ministries Team will lead the way.
Chain of Lakes has grown to the point of needing two worship services to accommodate everyone comfortably. The first one starts at 9am and the second, the same as the first, starts at 10:45am. The service lasts approximately one hour. Usually song lyrics, Scripture readings, and other items are on the overhead screen. Usually Pastor Paul Moore and Music Director Jan Boehm lead worship. The Praise Team leads the congregation in a mix of contemporary and traditional songs. Communion is served the first Sunday of the month. Please be sure to fill out the Communication Card and put it in the offering basket.
After worship everyone is welcome to stay a while, have a cup of coffee, and just visit if you wish. Your presence is appreciated.
The first Sunday of October is World Communion Sunday. The people of Chain of Lakes will join millions of people across the world who will celebrate Communion. Pastor Paul will preach about this celebration and why Communion is so important for our faith.
Randy Dean will be sharing the sermon. Randy has preached at Chain of Lakes before and is very popular!
Colby Martin is a nationally known speaker who has written the book “Unclobber.” In the book he shared his experience of being fired at his church for his own advocacy for the LGBTQ community. Colby will be preaching at Chain of Lakes at both services on Sunday, October 19.
People can worship online by engaging with the Live Stream of the Sunday worship service with the link on the home page. If you miss the service, you can watch the video later.
