Service is Sunday at 10 am. Visited this church with my friends this Sunday. It is in what looks…read morelike a strip mall. There's ample parking with a ramp from the parking lot to the sidewalk/entrance. The congregation is bigger than I thought it would be from the outside, maybe around 50-75 people. There were a good number of children with a wide age range. After the worship, the children went to Sunday School, I enjoyed the bluegrassy worship music. Everyone has their own sermon preference. It seems like there are two pastors. The younger pastor gave the sermon. It was on Paul's advice for how to live, specifically examining Philippians 3. Everything is wheelchair accessible, including the restrooms that have a spacious accessible stall. The worship area is also accessible with detachable single seats, which I prefer to permanent seats that cannot be moved for wheelchairs. They even had chairs already removed for wheelchairs on both sides of the back rows. I can't remember if there were parking spaces specifically designed for people with disabilities, although it could have been hidden by the snow. They did do a good job at clearing the snow, but some spaces had some icy snow. The parking spaces directly in front of the door and ramp were all open, even though we came literally a few seconds before the service started. The people generally seemed nice. They had a reception after the service with snacks, tea, and coffee. It was a nice time for the kids to run around and for the adults to mingle. For more information, check out their website at getlifenow.org.

I'd never seen a full dunking baptism performed before it's fascinating. I was born in Racine and baptized a Catholic. Attended Catholic grade school and high school, and was basically never taught anything about the Bible. I would like to join a "small group" Bible study so I can learn more about God and the history of religion. Pastor Josh is such a dynamic and relatable speaker, I get so much out of his talks every Sunday and that is the reason I keep coming back.

Now, in just under six years, our parish has substantially grown, no longer allowing the barn to be an adequate space for worship. So, with the support of our Archbishop, we developed the historic preservation project of St. Raphael The Archangel Catholic Church. This process entails using the salvaged remains of two closed and deteriorating Chicago churches of classical and sacred architecture, St. John of God and St. Peter Canisius. Thanks to the generosity of our parishioners and friends, we have made great progress in the construction of the new St. Raphael the Archangel Catholic Church. It exists today because of the conviction, talent, generosity, sacrifice and prayer of those who have gone before us and of those today who believe in our mission and support our vision.

Two services on Sunday offers some flexibility with your schedule. Worship is contemporary and has some variety in instrumentation, worship leaders, and occasional choirs. Still, the worship is primarily piano-driven. Lakeland offers a chance to meet with the pastor or an elder right after the service (not exactly weekly, but often enough). We waited several weeks before attending one of these "Meet Lakeland" lunches, ourselves. They serve lunch and take time to get to know you while helping you learn more about the church, it's roots, available ministries, serving opportunities, etc. My wife and I believe it is important to serve in church. There are opportunities around every corner--women's ministry, men's ministry, children's ministry, community events, service projects, outreach, and more. It is easy to "plug in" and get involved. There is an emphasis on home Bible studies, and we would highly recommend finding one. We joined a group that meets on a weekly basis, ranging from 10-20 attendees. We always have a wonderful time of fellowship and sharing. There are other things to consider: worship nights, where they combine with other area churches; an excellent Alpha program for new believers; an annual "county fair" with a massive box maze that fills a gymnasium (it has to be seen to be believed); financial seminars; open mic nights; a movie discussion group that meets on a monthly basis to watch and discuss current movies; concerts; and so much more--seriously! They also have a prayer room in an offsite location where you can sign up to go alone or with a group to have a quiet time. Our young-adult daughter was attending another church. After visiting several times with us, she decided to make Lakeland her home. She got involved with the young adult's ministry and has never looked back. She has made many close friends, is growing in her relationship with the Lord, and is loving life. BOTTOM LINE: Lakeland Church is welcoming and casual, has excellent teaching, is family-oriented, and has plenty of ministries and ways to get involved. Highly recommended! Come for a visit...or two...or three...or... (you get the idea!).
