When Did Jesus Pray?
Pastor Jerry Koller
Even though he was the forerunner of Jesus, John understood that he was still a sinner. But he knew the One who comes after Him, the messiah, the Savior, would be sinless.
Looking to Jesus as our example of when we should pray. Make sure we include:
· Important events/decisions
· Night
· Early morning
· Private
· Before eating
· Crisis
· When too busy
Happy Birthday!

Fundraiser: Door Repairs and Replacement

If you have noticed when you enter the church through our main entrance, the outside steel doors are in rough shape. It has been determined that they need to be replaced. In addition, all the fire doors in the east wing need repair or adjustments; so do the double steel doors in the gym on the east side of the building. We have contacted S.A. Morman and Co. in Portage to fix these issues. The cost will run approximately $14,400.00. If there is any way you could contribute to this expense, it would be greatly appreciated. You can simply mark your donation with “Doors” and drop it in the offering on Sunday morning or make an online contribution at
