From Memorial Day to Labor Day, worship is offered on-water at four lakes in Kosciusko County: Dewart Lake, Lake Tippecanoe, Lake Wawasee and Webster Lake. Yes, in-boat worship on Sunday mornings are alive and well.

And for Boat-in Worship on Lake Wawasee? They’re entering their 51st year! Here’s more:

» Wawasee Boat-in Worship began in 1969.

» Ten area churches currently partake in this worship service for lakers. » There’s no need to dress up. “It’s come as you are… by your own boat and anchor around the S.S. Lillypad, hop on the Lillypad from The Frog

Restaurant, or bring a lawn chair and sit on the shores of Oakwood Park,” said Pastor Harlan Steffen. (And please note, Steffen is the wonderful soul who started boat-in worship and has led the program each year since its inception, 51 years ago.) » Worship takes place Memorial Day through Labor Day, each Sunday.

Mark calendars for May 24 through

September 6, 2020. » Lakers hear sermons through a speaker system on the S.S. Lillypad. » Music does, indeed, accompany the message. “Each Sunday is a different performer,” Steffen said. » There’s a new, updated bulletin each week for attendees. Services are 30 minutes in length, plus prelude and postlude music. » Each week, anywhere from 65–150 boats and up to 1,000 people attend service, according to Steffen. » A variety of participating pastors are on a rotation delivering sermons. » Want to know more? If so, Steffen encourages lakers to give him a call at 574.529.3627.

In such trying times, isn’t this information just a breath of fresh air? Amen to that.
