Syracuse-Wawasee Ministerial Association
A Church Collective Serving the Wawasee Lakes Area
BOAT-IN WORSHIP
Welcome to a phenomenal worship experience! Come by boat or by shore to worship the Lord with us under an open sky. This one of a kind, half hour service praises God with special music and a devotion designed to turn your heart heavenward. There are many ways to attend! Climb aboard The SS Lilly Pad behind The Frog Tavern (by 7:30am) or pull up a chair in front of the incomparable Oakwood Resort to attend by shore or anchor alongside of us with your own boat on beautiful Lake Wawasee. Pull by the Bulletin Boat for a program and a treat for your doggos! Every Sunday from 8:30-9:00am, Memorial Day weekend until Labor Day weekend! Everyone's Welcome! The 2023 theme is "The Leap of Faith"!
COMPASS
The COMPASSion Ministry of the SWMA
Meeting Needs in Our Wawasee Community
Our goal is to compassionately connect with our neighbors to provide hope, comfort and resources along with spiritual and practical direction to those who find themselves in need in the Wawasee area while coming into closer fellowship with those in our community.
We all, at some point life, find ourselves in a tough spot. Compass wants to connect with those who are facing hardship due to job loss, illness or accident. We provide assistance with rent/mortgage payments and utilities and fuel assistance.
