2313 Washington St.
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…
Church Picnic
Family Life’s Church Picnic date has been finalized and the location secured! July 11 is the date – write it down!! The picnic will be held (same place as last year) at Mallard Ridge Park (110 Robincrest Lane) in Lindenhurst, IL.
Youth Group Camp Fundraiser
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!!
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!
Abortion Recovery Bible Study
CareNet Family Resource Center’s Post-Abortion Counseling and Education (PACE) program will facilitate a Bible study this summer (beginning in June) for women who desire to seek God’s healing and restoration from their abortion experience. Please contact PACE coordinator Kathy Knudtson at (262) 658-2222 for more information.
Bill & Linda Walters
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
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. –Pastor George Jones

Are You Passionate for the Passion?
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…
Day of Prayer
The next WHEN WE PRAY, Saturday, April 18, will be a little different! There will be a shortened general time of prayer, from 9:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. After that a Prayer Conference will be held (which includes lunch) and lasts until 2:15 p.m. This event takes place at Chain-O-Lakes Community Bible church in Lake Villa. Cost (for the conference) is $8 at the door. The whole day will be worthwhile, but if your time is limited, plan to come…
