Worship on the Water is a seasonal ministry
of Christ Episcopal Church, Cordele, Georgia. We worship at The Resort Dock on
Lake Blackshear from Memorial Day Sunday through Labor Day Sunday at 9 a.m.
On pretty days, we gather, by boat, by jet ski, by foot and by car to worship alongside the dock of the Resort. When rain requires, we gather under the screened gazebo adjacent to the shore. We come from as close as the campground and Resort, and from as far away as England. Our register is starting to look like an atlas. The worship is informal, and dogs belong; Canada geese often accompany our music and singing. Boat attire is expected, and whether you come by land or water, there's a place for you. We were truly blessed this past summer (2010) with wonderful music provided by The Joyful Noise, Fred Dorminey, Charlie Hariston, Zibbie Davidson, The MOPS, Jerry Hill, and Jill Gibbs and the Starlights. The Rev. Ann Schnaare joined us to provide Eucharist. To say that a wonderful time was had by all is an understatement of the first order. All in all, our 8th summer was a resounding success. Number aren't that important but they do tell a story. We had 791 souls attending which was an average of 53 per week. We are thankful for each and every one that joined us in praise and worship to God. We look forward to our 9th year - starting Memorial Day 2011. THE LAST WORSHIP OF THE WATER 9/5/2010
