Kayla Wiegand On behalf of the Champaign congregation and the UIUC/Parkland Young Group, we are seeking to reach any incoming freshman and returning students attending the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana or Parkland College in the upcoming academic year. We know how important plugging into a Christ-centered college group is - especially in the first year of college. Thus, we are hosting our annual Back to School Picnic on Sunday, August 24, 2025. This picnic is meant to be a night where we can become acquainted with one another in anticipation of the upcoming school year. The picnic will begin at 4PM at the Hessel Park Large Pavilion in Champaign, IL, and parents are encouraged to attend! Students and their families are also warmly invited to attend the Champaign church, with services starting at 10:00am (singing 9:45am) that morning.

The plan going forward is to have annual CT scans to watch for growth of the Amyloid, if no growth or no issues I will be able to live with it indefinitely. Should it start to grow, or I begin to have effects from the Amyloid, they will radiate the Amyloid, which they say that they have a high success rate with. The mass in my pancreas turns out to be scar tissue, which has partially healed, the plan going forward is to do an MRI in August to verify continued healing, or lack thereof. My prayer is they can find why the pancreatic attacks continue. BAPTISM ANNOUNCEMENT: We rejoice that Fiona and Donovan Rocke are at peace with God and desire baptism.

Save the date for the Father/Son campout on June 20th and 21st. All men and boys are invited. We would like everyone to know that we now have an additional tool for sharing prayer requests! It is an online prayer wall. In the past, the way prayer requests have worked are as follows: If somebody has prayer requests for the church, they would either contact one of the ministers or Sister Roxy, and it would get typed into a tool that would send out an email or a text, depending on the urgency of the request. The prayer request would go out to whoever is subscribed to that in our church. This has worked, and will continue to be an option, but the downside to that system is that when a request comes, it reminds you to pray for that individual, or that circumstance, and then it's kind of “gone”. Maybe you remember later to pray, or maybe you don't. The prayer wall that we've come up with is now active on our church website . If you go to the ministries section of our church website, you'll see a listing, “prayer wall”. When you click on the prayer wall and look at it, it will show you different requests that people have put out for either prayer or praise. These are visible, and you can read through them, you can pray for them, and there is even a spot where you can click “Amen”, and that will give a little boost of encouragement to whoever posted the request. They can go back and see that five people today prayed for their situation, or 10 people, or whatever the number is. It is nice because it gives feedback to them. It also will allow you as a church family to be a little bit more interactive or quickly get a prayer request out there. You can submit a request yourself, by clicking on the “add a prayer “ button. There is also an option to get notified of any new prayer requests. When you are on the prayer wall, you will see a little button that says, “watch” with a little eye on it. If you click that, it'll ask you to put in your email address. Once you put in your email address, it will then send you notifications when a new prayer request has come in. This is great if you are not in the habit of going there daily or weekly, you'll get a notification that somebody else from our church family submitted a prayer request. Please take the time to check this out. We think it will be a great asset to our congregation! Contact Bro. Brian or Sis. Lisa Rieke or Bro. Mike Zimmerman with any questions. NATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT:  Lord willing, the “Rooftop Revival” project will begin Sunday evening, May 25th. At this time, they are short on volunteers.

This project will be patterned after the Winter Rebuilding ministry. Please use this link to inform us of your plans so the local congregations (Bern and Sabetha) can make preparation. Meals and accommodations will be provided, but we need all volunteers individually to respond via Sign-up Genius . Contact Bro. Barry or Sis. Joyce Kloter with questions. Also, please be prayerful for Bro. Barry & Sis. Joyce as they plan to travel to Kansas this week and stay for the duration of the project as the volunteer coordinators.

NATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENTS: A major wind and hailstorm has caused the need for a new roof on the Apostolic Christian Retirement Village in Sabetha Kansas. After much prayer and consideration, God has directed us to use volunteer labor to replace the roof on the whole facility. It will require 11 semi loads of shingles and many hours of volunteer labor. Lord willing, the “Rooftop Revival” project will begin Sunday evening, May 25th. The projected duration of the project is 5-7 weeks. This project will be patterned after the Winter Rebuilding ministry. Please use the Sign-up Genius link below to inform us of your plans so the local congregations (Bern and Sabetha) can make preparation. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/RRNational Meals and accommodations will be provided, but we need all volunteers individually to respond via Sign-up Genius. Contact Bro. Barry or Sis. Joyce Kloter with questions. PRAYER REQUEST UPDATE: A note from Bro. Sam Moser: thank you to our church for their prayers on my behalf! We are blessed to have appointments with the GI and the hematology teams this coming week at Mayo. The biopsy for the pancreas is planned the first week of May, another praise! Please continue to pray for wisdom and clarity for all of the Dr's and especially the hematology team in determining all things surrounding the Amyloid, it is a big concern as Amyloid's untreated, can shut organs down and may pop up indiscriminately. REPENTANCE ANNOUNCEMENT: The angels are rejoicing in that Isabella and Brodie Wettstein have surrendered their hearts to the Lord in repentance. They are the daughter & son of Bro. Curt & Sis. Larisa Wettstein. We are thankful for their surrendered hearts and the gift of salvation. BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT:  We rejoice with Bro. Will & Sis.
