LOCAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:
As students go through high school, it is hard to know what they want to do after graduation. Our church family has so many God given talents, resources, and so much to offer. We put together a "virtual job fair" so our church family can share about their jobs and then we will give the information to the high school students so they can get ideas and know who to reach out to with questions about jobs. The form has contact information so this another chance to build relationships as the high schoolers reach out to people with questions about jobs. The more people that fill out the form, the more jobs the students can learn about so we would appreciate anyone who would fill out the information. It may look long, but you do not need to fill out all the questions. If you feel questions don't apply, or you answered them elsewhere, these are just a guideline. You don't have to answer them all. If you are retired, you can pick a job you had during your career to fill the form out about. If you have any questions, please reach out to Bro. Nate or Sis. Emily Sauder. We appreciate your time and thank you for completing the form by 04/25/2026. Click-here to complete the "Virtual Job Fair" form. Thank you!
A special thank you to all who came to help clean our fellowship hall and church. Your time was greatly appreciated! There is a table with lost and found items in the women's coat room. Anything left will be taken to Goodwill the end of April.
Here are a few announcements from the last Growing Godly Guys event, along with future dates for the calendar.
If you are part of a daily bible reading accountability group and want to keep it going or need to breathe life into it and keep the same group, please do. If you would like to be paired with a new group and/or want to get started for the first time with an accountability group please sign up at this link.
Here are the dates for future G3 events-

If you want to host something else for a G3 event that would be wonderful. Let Brothers Wade Wettstein, Arlen Edelman, Jared Schieber, or Keith Grimm know, and we can help facilitate and communicate. Thank you and God bless!
Gas cards.
Gas prices are going up and people dealing with getting to work and feeding a family are going to feel the pinch of these rising costs. The gift of a gas card can free up funds in their monthly budget.
Just contact Sis. Dawn Maloney preferably by text at 309-472-6067.
She does not need to know the story or “Why” you think they could use a financial boost. Your judgement or “take” on their situation is all we need.
Send name and mailing address please.
