Moving Day… A Huge Success!

Beth Jones — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 02:42:30 +0000

Thanks to all who lent a hand at yesterday’s moving day! Items were moved from our Chestnut Street building as well as from a rented storage unit. It was quite an “exhilarating feeling” knowing we are actually moving into 2313 Washington Street, after all the years of waiting. Now, though there is much to do, we proceed carefully and prayerfully, that our focus throughout be to bring glory to the Lord Jesus!

2313 Washington St.

Pastor George — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 22:03:57 +0000

A new era has begun as we are now the legal owners of the property at 2313 Washington Street. It has been in the process of closing since Monday (6/1), with disbursement of money taking place about an hour ago. We thank God for the path we have been on and for the unmatched relationship that we have with The Sign of the Dove Church. We now look forward to God using us in new and greater ways for His Kingdom purposes here in Waukegan and literally to the far corners of the earth.

Let’s move together in vision, in faith and in unity!

Youth Group Camp Fundraiser

Pastor George — Sat, 16 May 2009 20:58:00 +0000

A bake sale will be held on Sunday, May 24, to raise money for the youth going to camp! It will be held after the 10am service (outside the gym). Donations will be cheerfully accepted as well!

Thank You Geoff & Ty Sempa!!

Pastor George — Sat, 16 May 2009 20:52:21 +0000

We are truly sad to see Geoffrey and Tyiesha Sempa moving to California soon. May 16 will be their last Sunday. They have not only left an indelible mark on our youth, but on each one of us who have gotten to know them. We send them off with our love and prayers!

Bill & Linda Walters

Pastor George — Sat, 16 May 2009 20:50:00 +0000

In case you have not heard, Bill and Linda Walters were involved in a very serious car accident in West Bend, WI this past Thursday (5/14). By God’s grace, they both survived a collision with a tractor trailer as well as a rollover. How we glorify God for His protection and grace upon this family that means so much to all of us. (The hockey game was canceled since Bill was such a “driving force” behind it!)

Status of the Building Purchase

Pastor George — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 22:17:27 +0000

As you know, we were supposed to “close” on the purchase of the Shelia Daniels building on April 15. The closing has been delayed because of ongoing inspections and requirements that Foursquare is requesting. The Sign of the Dove, owners of the property, have graciously extended the deadline for closing. I would like to see us close by May 15. Please keep this in regular prayer.

Are You Passionate for the Passion?

Beth Jones — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:23:57 +0000

It is A.D. 2009 with Holy Week less than two weeks away. Are you feeling excited? Millions of Christians worldwide will recall the events from around A.D. 30 — the crucifixion, burial and resurrection from the dead of Jesus Christ.

Now, more than ever, in the midst of global crises, Christians will gather together to worship the Living God. Why? Because this God was willing to sacrifice Himself in order to rescue messed-up, selfish, hopeless people who are powerless in themselves to change, and to restore them in relationship to Him! That was the reason for Christ’s Passion (His suffering) and this is the reason we can be passionate in celebrating, as well. After all, it is because of the events in A.D. 30 that we have hope for living through the uncertainty of A.D. 2009.
