Connect ◊ Grow ◊ Serve

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vision Statement

We are a community of faith that seeks to connect people with Jesus Christ and each other, to grow in the habits of Jesus and to serve others

in the Spirit of Jesus. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please join us for refreshments following this service

in Hicks Hall. Refreshments are provided

today by Missions. Your generous dona-

tion for coffee and snacks will help the

group provide aid to

Grace Children’s Hospital in Haiti.

Benevolent Fund

As you leave Communion, you’ll find bas-

kets available for your donations to our Benevolent

Fund. The fund helps area residents with food, utilities,

medicines, and other assistance. Many in Rochelle ben-

efit from the generosity of this congregation, but please

know you never have to give to receive the Sacrament.

Jesus has already paid that price.

Flower Ministry is graciously sponsored by Arch Millotte in

loving memory of Nancy Millotte and parents, Ralph & Ethleen Millotte

and Art & Kay Welch.
