Special Needs Parking - The Beach

As most of you know, Sunrise Beach in Lake Bluff where we hold our services only has a handful of parking spots available those with handicaps or special needs. We've collaborated with the Lake Bluff Park District to create a system where the church manages the parking spaces during the times our services are held. If you need to use a handicapped or special needs space at the beach:

* please email Pam Campbell and tell her (a) you need a beach parking pass and (b) which service you typically attend

* we will provide you with a laminated beach pass that will allow you to park at the beach during the service.

If you have questions, email Pam or call 847.234.8191. We are looking forward to a spectacular beach season!
