Rev. Jim Warren's sermon this Sunday is entitled, "It's OK to Doubt," and he will preach at both
the 9:00 a.m. traditional service in the sanctuary and the 10:15 a.m. progressive service in Fellowship Hall. The scripture passage is John 20:24-29 and about the sermon Jim says, "This is the story of Thomas wanting more proof before he'll believe Jesus is alive. Like Thomas, we have our doubts and questions about our faith, and that's okay."
We are honoring graduates this Sunday. Congratulations to:
- Cassidy Fisher - Illinois State University Bachelor of Science in Art Technology
- Andrew Gray - Normal Community West High School
- Matthew West - Illinois State University Master of Science in Information Systems
Once again our gift of music at the 9:00 a.m. service will be a solo. This time Keara Corbett will be singing. At the 10:15 a.m. One and All service you'll hear the One and All Band play. You may choose to partake in a light breakfast as you worship.
Gifts for Another Table:
Remember that this week and next we are collecting items for our neighbor, the Regional Alternative School. Please bring a few of the items they depend on each day: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, hand lotion, Chapstick, and diapers. Thank you!
