Journey Groups
Several new Journey Groups are launching the week of Labor Day. We’ll be offering Bible studies (Genesis, Esther, The Minor Prophets, Matthew, 1 Peter), life-phase groups (emerging adults, parents of kids, and teens, 55+) as well as a group for men, groups for women, and a group for new believers and those exploring faith. Various days and times will be offered. Several groups are being offered on Wednesday nights between September 7 and November 16 concurrent with our regular programming for kids and middle school students (we’re adding a nursery as well!). To sum that up, on Wednesdays, unless you are a high schooler, we've got a place for you. Each Wednesday we will also be offering dinner for any and all who would like to come (donations accepted). Wherever you are on the journey, we have a group for you! Check out the info in the lobby or at https://bit.ly/3Am2Czy.
Wednesday Night Dinners
Starting September 7 | 5:30-6:15pm | We will be offering dinners before Wednesday Night Journey Groups. The suggested donation for an individual is $4 or feed the whole family for no more than $20. Great food, great fellowship, and a great deal! As these are untested waters, we ask, that for the first week, you could let us know if you and/or your family will be joining us for dinner. Register at https://bit.ly/3Axz4Qy.
Pregnancy Resource Center
If you would like to donate to the Pregnancy Resource Center, we have baby bottles to fill with change available at the welcome center. Please return them to the church by September 1.
Student Ministries Fundraiser
Our Student Ministries are continuing on their fundraising journey to get to NYC (Nazarene Youth Conference.) One ongoing fundraiser they are having is willing labor. They are available to help/do all sorts of projects. They would love to mow, pull weeds, water flowers, rake pinecones, shovel driveways, clean cupboards, cart sticks. Really anything that you would trust a teenager to do. Clean gutters, set up your new printer, learn how to use Instagram. Details are coming with a form to fill out to request labor. Students will always come in groups of at least two and will be accompanied by an adult sponsor and money will be a donation for the NYC trip or student accounts. If you have any questions, contact Melody Grimm at 815.549.9738.
Worship Band
Our worship band is looking to add a few more talented people. If you are high-school age and above and can sing, play an instrument, or dance interpretively, Nathan Lacher will be available in the front of the sanctuary after church on Sunday. (Okay, so probably not interpretive dance, but if you are interested in joining the tech team instead, hit up the sound booth.)
Student Ministries Garage Sale
Our teens are planning to have their annual garage sale during Octoberfest (September 22-23) this year. So start sorting out your sellable old clothes, furniture, dishes, books, toys, and tchotchkes that you would love to donate. They will start taking items on September 18. Stay tuned for more details.
