In order to publicize the miracle of Chanukah, the Menora is lit - with the correct Brachot - in the synagogue, between Mincha and Ma'ariv.
The person who lit the Menora in shul has to light again at home, with the correct Brachot.
A mourner should not light the Menora in shul on the first night of Chanuka, since it's inappropriate for him to say שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ in public. At home, a mourner does say שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ on the first night.

Halocho #1965 - The Chanukah Menorah in shul
דְלִיקִין נֵרוֹת בְּבֵית הַכְּנֶסֶת מִשּׁוּם פִּרְסוּמֵי נִסָּא, וּמְבָרְכִין עֲלֵיהֶן. וּמַנִּיחָן בְכֹתֶל דָּרוֹם, וּמַדְלִיקָן בֵּין מִנְחָה לְמַעֲרִיב
וְאֵין אָדָם יוֹצֵּא בַּנֵּרוֹת שֶׁל בֵּית הַכְּנֶסֶת. וְצָרִיךְ לַחֲזוֹר וּלְהַדְלִיק בְבֵיתוֹ
וּמִי שֶׁהוּא אָבֵל, רַחֲמָנָא לִצְלָן, לֹא יַדְלִיק בַּלַיְלָה הָרִאשּׁוֹן בְּבֵית הַכְּנֶסֶת, מִשּׁוּם דְּצָרִיךְ לוֹמַר שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ. וְאָבֵל, אֵין לוֹ לוֹמַר שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ בְּצִבּור. אֲבָל בְּבֵיתוֹ, מְבָרֵךְ שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ
