HEADLINE NEWS

Help Us Win Dinner. (For Jesus.) We’re currently at 119 RSVPs for the Reformed Rebuilders’ Brat Fry for THIS WEDNESDAY., Jan. 28.  Our goal? 200+.  The benchmark? Those overachieving Wednesday Night Family Meals clocking in at 160–175.  Not that we’re competitive. We just… really want to win. 😉

Too busy to stay? Grab take-out.  Too full to eat? Come anyway—it’s for a great cause.  Every brat, bun, and side helps fund the Rebuilders’ February trip to Florida to help families rebuild after hurricane damage. Bonus points if you can help with a few still-needed food items—they stretch the dollars and the impact.

A Consistory Update: A quick follow-up after last week’s Consistory meeting. The team continues its careful discernment around the RCA / denominational decision, which remains the top priority. As shared in last week’s bulletin (and the congregational meeting) they are working toward bringing a proposal to the congregation in early March.

At the same time, the Consistory is gathering information to provide deeper insight into the feedback you shared regarding the Facilities Project (including Food Vault and youth-related themes).

There are a lot of spinning plates—and remember, these are volunteer leaders balancing this important work alongside their day jobs! So thanks for your patience as things move thoughtfully forward. More information will be shared this spring.

Thank you for your prayers, patience, and ongoing engagement.

Alpha Starts Again NEXT Sunday | Feb 1st  @  4 PM Alpha is a friendly space to explore faith, ask honest questions, and have real conversations—no pressure, no “right answers.” If you’ve ever wondered, wrestled, or just wanted to listen, Sundays at 4 PM is for you.

This week’s January/February Special offering spotlight is on The Gathering Place in Sheboygan Falls.

Four days a week, adults with early to mid-stage memory loss gather for a safe, joyful space filled with connection, care, and community. While they are nurtured physically, mentally, and spiritually, caregivers receive much-needed respite and peace of mind.

Multiple people from our own church serve here, and this ministry continues to grow because of generous support. Your gift helps keep this welcoming place open, staffed, and thriving for those who need it most.

The Deacons thank you for supporting ministry that meets people exactly where they are.  To-date the combined special offering this month (for the Gathering Place & Pastor Elijah and Living Hope Uganda) is $1,649.

He Knows Your Name (We Need It Too) The past couple of Sundays, the Deacons received some cash gifts in name-less envelopes. First—thank you! Your generosity is truly appreciated.

Second, as tax season approaches, a quick reminder: to get a donation receipt for tax purposes, your name needs to be on the envelope. Without it, your gift is a blessing to us but won’t be acknowledged by the IRS. Thanks for supporting the church and helping us keep things running smoothly!

Thank you to all of our faithful cookie bakers! Your work promotes Sunday morning fellowship and engagement of our visitors and regular attenders!

Coffee Doesn’t Make Itself (Sadly!) We’re looking for a few friendly helpers to set up and tidy up our Solid Ground Coffee & Drink Bar on Sunday mornings. That simple “grab a cup” moment helps newcomers relax, linger, and feel at ease—and this behind-the-scenes ministry quietly sets the tone for a warm, welcoming start. Click HERE to get involved. FULL TRAINING provided—even if coffee isn’t your love language.
