Author Christine Chakoian of 1st Presbyterian Church at Lake Forest Book Store
Christine Chakoian, who has led the First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest since 2005, will discuss her new book, Worship, Fellowship, and the Work of the Kingdom. Lavishly illustrated and featuring archival photographs—some never before published—of First Presbyterian Church and the town of Lake Forest, the book is an engaging chronicle of Lake Forest’s earliest church. Tracing the history of First Church from the origins of Lake Forest, through the church’s establishment in 1859, and up to the present day, this title—the first ever full-length history of the church—recounts its lively story. The church’s early history is closely intertwined with that of Lake Forest itself, and newly discovered material on the history of Lake Forest appears in the book’s first six chapters.
