Monthly Capital Campaign – The May capital campaign is for the Horton Family who are local missionaries serving the people in Guatemala and are originally from Dublin, Texas. As of March 2020, the Hortons became career missionaries to Guatemala, after having served one term there as missionary associates. They are country coordinators for the child sponsorship program, ChildHope (formerly Latin America Child Care), to provide education, food, clean water, and the knowledge of HOPE in Jesus Christ to children and families across the country. In addition, they are helping usher in a new program, Open+, which is part of the RedU network. Open+ is a brand-new organization that seeks to engage students on the university campus in intentional relationships, with the desire of sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Open+ is mobilizing Christian university students with the tools they need to lead weekly small groups and disciple new followers through one-on-one mentoring. Also, Open+ strives to serve the local church in preparation for unique, new believers and give back to the community in times of crisis." We will take the offering in support of this ministry on May 24th.
“Digging Deeper” Opportunity – Pastor Draayer is now offering a time following the worship service to dive deeper and answer any questions about the sermon during fellowship time. If you are interested in this, grab a cup of coffee, then meet in the Pastor's office following the service each week.
Church Service Nursery Announcement – Every week, nursery-aged children (age 4 and under) will be dismissed to the nursery following the children’s message. Secondly, to reduce how often volunteers are scheduled, we are seeking additional nursery volunteers. Even serving once every other month makes a big difference! If you’re willing to help, please let Desiree or Marsha know.
Small Group Leadership Class – Pastor Draayer will be offering another small group leadership training class this Sunday at 6:00 pm in the council room.
New Online Giving Option – We are pleased to announce that we will now be utilizing Tithe.ly as an option for online giving. This platform provides a convenient and secure way to contribute to the ongoing ministry of our church. An email was sent out this week with more information on how to use this service. You can also scan the QR code below to give digitally.
End of Year Education Programs – Summer break is almost here for our education programs. Our last Wednesday family night will be on May 6th, Sunday school classes will end on May 17th, and Ladies Coffee Break will end on May 21st. If you are interested in teaching in the fall of 2026 in any of our education classes, please reach out to Jennifer Osinga. As we enter the final weeks of our education programs, we want to encourage all students and parents to make attendance a priority. These last sessions are an important time of growth, connection, and finishing strong together. Our teachers have faithfully dedicated their time, energy, and prayer into preparing meaningful lessons each week. One of the greatest ways we can support and encourage them is through consistent attendance and participation. Let’s commit to being present, engaged, and appreciative as we wrap up this season. Your presence makes a difference, not only in your own family, but in the life of our church community.
SERVE Stephenville – SERVE Stephenville is 8 weeks away! Please be in prayer for the SERVE host team as they finalize plans for this summer’s mission trip and for the individuals who will be traveling to Stephenville in June. There will be a host team meeting at the church on April 28th at 6:00 pm.
SERVE 2026 – Our youth group will be attending SERVE this year in Niagara Falls, Canada, from July 11th to July 18th. We will have 16 youth and 4 leaders going on this mission trip. Please keep the youth and leaders in your prayers over the next few months as they prepare for this mission trip!
Every month, we take a second offering on the 4th Sunday of the month to benefit a local or international ministry.
