Welcome to Chain of Lakes Church
Today Pastor Paul is starting a new series called, “Grateful Hearts Generous Lives.” He will be talking about gratefulness. We will enjoy the world premiere of a video about the stewardship campaign. Thanks to Dave Nyberg for developing the video. Thank you to the Women’s Choir for singing!
Elementary aged children, 1st grade and older are invited to attend Kid’s Church after the first set of songs. Children who are Kindergarten and under are welcome to go to the Nursery.
October is Pastor Appreciation Month…a time to honor and recognize pastors and their families for their service to their congregation. Let’s “shower” Pastor Paul and Amy today with cards and notes of thanks.
