Weekly News: April 16, 2026

Help turn “someone should…”

into “I’ve got you.”


Got a skill, a side hustle, or just know your way around a lawn mower or a spreadsheet? You're invited to participate in our Community Resources Guide (the "I Know a Person" list).


We'd love to help connect needs with gifts within our church community. If you’d be willing to offer services—professional or informal—like childcare, home repair, tutoring, financial help, or more, we invite you to sign up. Let’s make it easier to care for one another in tangible ways.

Attention Men!

April 21 is a great time to join the Men’s Breakfast Group. We will be starting a new discussion book, “Renegade Gospel: The Rebel Jesus” by Mike Slaughter. The book’s theme: Jesus Today, the Way of the Cross to Resurrection. Discover Jesus all over again, a man who denies all our preconceived notions about what God should look like. Also, we discuss all kinds of fun topics like Indiana football, Purdue basketball, golf, whatever comes to mind and caring for each other. Meetings are the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays in Sunrise Café’s back room at 9AM.
