Fun with our Visiting Missionaries!

We recently had the wonderful opportunity of spending 2 whole weeks with our newest missionaries! Their schedule was packed with potlucks, games, family visits, meals and more. But along the way, we learned so much about their hearts for the Lord’s work and why they are giving themselves to His service. We praise Him for bringing us all together!

Luncheon Cruise

On Wednesday, June 9th, our over-60 group, The Encouragers, took off for a luncheon cruise down the Rock River. The weather was fabulous and the companionship was even better! A good time was had by all!

Easter Breakfast Volunteers

It takes many willing hands to serve the annual Easter Breakfast. And wasn’t it delicious? Here’s a few shots of the volunteers who showed up on Saturday to prep the facilities and the food. Thanks to all who served our congregation in prepping, decorating, cooking, serving and clean-up!

There were many surprises, along with getting to know new sisters in Christ. Here are some of the delightful faces of the Serving Sisters of Elim:

Learning God’s Word in Children’s Church & Sunday School

One of our moms recently sent some pictures of her daughter acting out what she’s been learning in Sunday school and Children’s Church. We’ve been teaching our 2-3 year olds about God’s Creation, and from Genesis 1:24, we learned that God made “creeping things.”God Made Creeping Things

You KNOW a child has heard and understood the Word when she is pretending to be a “creeping thing” all on her own! Pretending to be a Creeping Thing

Then, God’s Word gets reinforced in Children’s Church with hands-on crafts. What a great way for kids to learn the very truths of God!Look What I Made!
