Lakeland exists to worship Christ in all things and share Him with all people
Welcome to Lakeland! If you are a guest today, we welcome you in the name of Jesus! We are glad you are here and look forward to meeting you. We believe that your best days of knowing, loving and following Christ are before you! We pray that He uses our fellowship today as a means of encouraging you.
If you are interested in finding more about Lakeland, there are three things you can do! First, a welcome form is in this bulletin. If you fill it in and drop it in the offering basket or leave it on the Information Table in the lobby, we have several things we would like to send you about Lakeland. The staff also prays for our guests, we would be glad to pray for you by name.
Second, at the display in the Resource Room are brochures outlining our vision and values, and brochures that give ministry descriptions and contact information - ministry leaders would be delighted to talk with you.
Third, we invite you to a free luncheon called “Meet Lakeland”, an opportunity to meet people and learn where the Lord is leading us as a church. Our next luncheon is planned for August 28th. Please make plans to return. Please come to Room 607 following the second service. We have food and fun for kids so please bring your whole family!
Warm regards,
Senior Pastor Dan Weyerhaeuser

**Alpha is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life in a relaxed, friendly setting. The Alpha course usually meets once per week for 10 weeks, and includes an amazing one-day or weekend getaway. Each session, people enjoy great food, laughter and learning in a fun and friendly atmosphere where no question about life or God is seen as too simple or too hostile…questions like—Is there a God? Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going?

SONG LYRICS
INDESCRIBABLELaura Story, additional lyrics by Jesse Reeves • © 2004 worshiptogether.com Songs / sixsteps Music / Gleaning Publishing • (audio recording available on “How Great Is Our God” by Passion)
From the highest of heights to the depths of the seaCreation’s revealing Your majestyFrom the colors of Fall to the fragrance of SpringEvery creature unique in the song that it singsAll exclaiming
Indescribable, uncontainable, You placed the stars in the skyAnd You know them by name, You are amazing GodAll powerful, untamable, Awestruck we fall to our kneesAs we humbly proclaim, You are amazing God
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go?Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow?Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light?Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness or night?None can fathom
Incomparable, unchangeable, You see the depths of my heartAnd You love me the same, You are amazing God
HALLELUJAH TO MY KINGPaul Baloche, Brenton Brown • © 2007 Integrity’s Hosanna! Music / Leadworship Songs / Thankyou Music • (audio recording available on “Our God Saves” by Paul Baloche)
O, how strong the power of Jesus’ nameIt is stronger than any other nameHow sweet the victory that bore my shameTook the burden of my sin away
Hallelujah, what a Savior, I owe everything to HimHallelujah, what a Savior, Hallelujah to my King
O, how great the kindness our God has shownWe were strangers, now we’re called His ownHis grace has welcomed the sinner homeTender mercies lead us to the throne
Hallelujah, hallelujah to my King
O, what peace the Spirit of Jesus bringsThrough the trials He will carry meOn day in Heaven, our eyes will meetFilled with wonder, all the saints will sing
YOU ARE MY KING (AMAZING LOVE)Billy Foote • © 1996 worshiptogether.com Songs • (audio recording available on “Better Is One Day” by Passion)
I’m forgiven because You were forsaken, I’m accepted, You were condemnedI’m alive and well, Your Spirit is within me, Because You died and rose again
Amazing love, how can it be, That You, my King, would die for me?Amazing love, I know it’s true, And it’s my joy to honor You, In all I do I honor You
You are my King, Jesus, You are my King
WONDERFUL MERCIFUL SAVIORDawn Rodgers, Eric Wyse • © 1989 Word Music, LLC / Dayspring Music, LLC • (audio recording available on “Press On” by Selah)
Wonderful merciful Savior, Precious Redeemer and FriendWho would have thought that a Lamb could, Rescue the souls of men?Oh, You rescue the souls of men
Counselor, Comforter, Keeper, Spirit we long to embraceYou offer hope when our hearts have, Hopelessly lost our wayOh, we’ve hopelessly lost our way
You are the One that we praise, You are the One we adoreYou give the healing and grace our, Hearts always hunger forOh, our hearts always hunger for
Almighty, infinite Father, Faithfully loving Your ownHere in our weakness You find us, Falling before Your throneOh, we’re falling before Your throne

What: Christian Foundations is for anyone wanting to lay a strong foundation in their Christian life. In a loving and encouraging setting, this small group systematically reviews the foundational truths and practices for a lifetime of walking with Christ. Using the book Discipleship Essentials by Greg Ogden, you will learn:
Growing up in Christ – How do I know Christ better? (Spiritual disciplines)
Understanding the message of Christ – Doctrine of our salvation
Becoming like Christ – How does Christ make me more like Him?
Serving Christ – How do I serve Christ, His people, and His purposes?
Who Should Come: If you are have just graduated from the Crossing, completed the Alpha course, or if you have never had someone help lay the "foundation" for a growing relationship with Christ, this is an important “next step.” When: Introductory Meeting, Thursday, September 1, 2011
Where: 4936 Shagbark Ct, Gurnee, IL 60031
RSVP to Jay & Barb Jacob – (847) 249-1238

Let us be reminded of Hebrew chapter 12! "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith…Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. Make level paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed."
May we run together with steadfastness, especially during these uncertain and economically difficult times for many of us.
Parents are responsible for the supervision of their children while at church. To avoid accidents and other mishaps, children should remain in the sight of a parent unless they
have been checked into a class or nursery.
