Announcements for the Week of May 24, 2026
Welcome to Chain of Lakes Church
Welcome to worship at Chain of Lakes Church! Today we are celebrating Pentecost. We are also celebrating the fourth anniversary of being in the church building. John Ivers is sharing a faith story.
Kids in kindergarten through 5th grade are invited to join us at kids church and will be dismissed from worship after our first few songs. Youth in grades 6-12 are encouraged to stay in worship and can get a Worship Activity Sheet from an usher. Kids younger than kindergarten are welcome to go to the nursery.
Youth Group, for those in 6th grade, meets Wednesdays, 6:30 – 8pm during the school year. The last 2 meetings of this school year will be May 27 and June 3.
Interested in gardening? Chain of Lakes has gardening plots available on the South side of the church. Meet other gardeners and enjoy time in your own garden plot. The plot fee is $40. Season will commence in Mid-May. Contact Dave Nyberg through info@colpres.com for more information.
Destiny Anderson is leading a Praise Movement Small Group that will start Tuesday, June 2 at 6pm. The group will help participants learn to love their bodies and themselves as a step to loving as Jesus did. This will be a welcoming, worship-centered movement experience that encourages joy, builds community, and draws participants closer to Christ–together. If you are interested, contact info@colpres.org
Do you like to golf, love Chain of Lakes, and/or enjoy serving? Then volunteering at the 3M Open at the TPC Twin Cities golf course might be for you. Sign up for a concession stand shift from either 7-3, 8-2:30, 9:30-4, 10-6, or 11-6 for one or two days on July 23-26. This excellent fundraiser for the church includes a free lunch, free parking with shuttle services, and a free single day admission pass. If you are interested or would like to learn more, contact John Altrichter or Alice Nyberg or email info@colpress.org The dollars raised go directly into Chain of Lakes operating budget; last year we raised over $3300 in labor and tips. Impressive job, Volunteers!
Once again the people of Chain of Lakes demonstrated their care for the community by participating in the Stepping Up 4 HOPE walk last Sunday. Final numbers are still being finalized, but we know that the attendance was strong, the giving was strong, and the spirit of community was amazing. Thanks to Sarah Green and the Local Impact Team for their excellent leadership!
