Thanksgiving Meal November 18th from Noon to 2PM
The planning for thanksgiving meal preparation for the church and community members is well on its way. In the narthex, across from the display case are sign-up list for donating turkey breasts, desert donations and volunteering for working on the meal in various dates and time slots listed. Please consider this valuable assistance to the community and consider how you can help make the meal a success. Any question please contact Phil Johnson 815-899-0661.
Interested in Ringing A Handbell in the Handbell Choir? Come and try handbell ringing Sunday, November 11th. The handbells will be out for you to ring in the choir room after the worship service.
Update on the Pastor Search from the Board of Elders Due to the lack of available candidates, the original proposal to call an Intentional Interim Pastor has stalled. As a result we were encouraged by the NID's Pastor Keith Haney to start the search process by moving on to the CAT survey which was completed at the end of September.
Thanks to Pastor Metzger we are set with pulpit supply through the end of the calendar year. With the congregation's approval, the Elder Board is considering proposing the calling a Visiting Pastor to begin serving at the beginning of 2019 and serve until we complete the search. Please stay tuned for more information on this possibility. We are at the point in the search process where we are open to receiving from the congregation names of men to be considered to be our next pastor. The process is just and likely it will be a lengthy process. Please pray for our church, our Elders and the man God has chosen for us.It is the Elder Board's intention that this process be as open and as transparent as possible. We want input from the congregation. Please feel free to speak with us with ideas, suggestions or concerns. Last names beginning with (or contact any Elder):
