Congregational Meeting February 15

In addition, there will be considerable discussion about the purchase of the Sheila Daniels building we’ve been meeting in. Four candidates accepted the nomination of the council: Nathan Jones, Georgia Mullins, David Schleicher and Ruben Valdez. All of these have experience serving on the council.

Day of Prayer
Next Saturday is WHEN WE PRAY, from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at Lakeland Evangelical Free Church (440 N. Hunt Club Rd. Gurnee). The days in which we live demand that God’s people PRAY! You will be glad you came, even if it is for a short time. This prayer day is timed for just prior to the inauguration of our 44th President.
