Worship on the Water

Worship on the Water (WOW) began under the leadership of Chuck and Evelyn Smith and Oliver and Sandra Kitchens and with support from Community LIFE Church. They saw a need for a casual, nondenominational service in our local community, especially for weekend visitors enjoying recreational time on Lake Wedowee. In 2010, SIFAT became the sponsor of WOW, and we have enjoyed providing summer worship services as a way to give back to the community that has supported SIFAT for so many years.

From Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend, local residents and lake visitors meet on the shore of Lake Wedowee under the pines at Lakeside Marina at 9 a.m. every Sunday. Each week, guest musicians and speakers lead the service. Rain is not a problem, because the service easily moves to Lakeside’s porch.

Come by boat, come by car, come as you are!

If you have questions, want to suggest a speaker or musical group or would like to volunteer at WOW, please e-mail wow@sifat.org.
