Thanks to everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to help with our church housecleaning. Your hard work was greatly appreciated! There is a “lost and found” table and coat rack in the ladies’ coat room. Please check it out. Anything left at the end of the month will be taken to Goodwill.
Vacation Bible School preparation is underway! VBS will be held July 8th-12th and our theme this year is “Take the Plunge, Dive into Jesus!” where students will dive deep into stories about Jesus being our ultimate lifesaver. Volunteer sign up will follow at a later date and we ask that you be prayerful about the opportunities to serve and to minister to the children of our church and community!
It's time to order the T-shirts for our Vacation Bible School students. There are 2 signup sheets at the message center. One is a list of all the Sunday School students. Please put down your children's shirt sizes if they will be able to attend, and cross off their names if they won't. The second signup sheet is for visitors. Please sign up by Sunday, April 14th. Contact Bro. Troy or Sis. Carrie Blunier with any questions.

LifePoints Gospel Sing
Sunday, April 28, 2024
Free babysitting services for potty-trained children.
Join us on Sunday April 28th, 2024, as we make a joyful noise together at the Five Points auditorium in Washington, IL for the annual LifePoints Gospel Sing. We are excited to announce that The Anderson Family will be performing their Bluegrass Gospel music this year! Doors will open at 5:45 PM for open seating, and the program will begin at 6:00 PM. Tickets are not required this year!
The Anderson Family features the voices and instruments of Bro. Zach and Sis. Karla Anderson (Congerville, IL) along with their five children – Caiden (17), Laiken (16), Ellie (14), Colton (11) and Alayna (8). You may remember that The Anderson Family graciously recorded an entire concert in their living room on behalf of LifePoints for our 2020 Virtual Gospel Sing when all in-person events were canceled. We are extremely pleased to have them perform live and in-person this year!
In addition to The Anderson Family’s performance, a worship team organized by Bro. Caleb and Sis. Courtney Sauder (Champaign, IL) will be leading us all in collective hymn singing. We are excited to hear the auditorium filled with our voices praising the Lord together!
We are also looking forward to hearing from a special LifePoints family member about the impact Apostolic Christian LifePoints has had on their family’s life. There will be a free will offering collected, and those funds help us to provide Christian homes for adults with developmental disabilities. Local Young Group members will be providing free babysitting services for potty-trained children. As in years past, we will be livestreaming the Gospel Sing for those who are unable to attend in person. We would love to share in this evening with each of you!
Contact Bro. Royce Schieler with any questions.
