Midweek Announcements 02.18.26

Events & Announcements This Week!

Introducing: "Midweek Manna"
Each week, we will be sharing links to encouraging and helpful content. You’ll find Midweek Manna after the upcoming dates in the midweek announcement.

And keep an eye out — every now and then, we may hide a little “Easter egg” for those who are paying attention. You never know when a small surprise or gift card might pop up for someone who interacts with the content.
 
Needed: More Children's Ministry Volunteers
As was announced on Sunday, we are needing to open a new toddler room to best serve our precious little ones. The commitment is once per month, and children's ministry volunteers must be members. If you are interested or have questions, contact Cathy Caughey at cathy.caughey@gmail.com or 217-979-1289. You can also click the link below the sign up using the Serve Form. Brand new and returning volunteers are very welcome!

2) We looked at Matthew 5:32-37 and observed we need to do whatever it takes to kill sin. This article gives helpful practical advice to that end:

3) On parenting, I listened to half of this podcast just this past week. I found it helpful on a lot of levels. (The podcast- Room for Nuance- is a great one. Highly recommend)
