You know what they say about opinions. Lots of people have them. I often find the setup to an opinion has as much influence as the opinion itself. For instance, you could be on a date at a nice restaurant, order a wonderful dish, but have lousy conversation. Your...
When First Pres updated their hymnals from the 1955 edition to the 2013 edition, there were bound to be some changes. Something I noticed right away was it being less impressive than the 1990 edition. The 1990 edition still reigns supreme for me, but I digress. My...
Our lives are organized around several series of repeating patterns: the earth spins day into night and vice versa, the same hours repeat on a clock, the same days repeat week after week, the same months in the year, and the year always repeats with each orbit around...

The Mission and Youth Ministries Committees are working together to sponsor a Service Saturday at Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) in Schaumburg. Every year, millions of children die from preventable causes such as pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria and undernutrition. Hunger is still causing nearly half of the deaths in children under 5 years old. From this data, we estimate at least 6,200 children die each day from causes related to undernutrition. This is heartbreaking.
FMSC believes hope starts with food. As a Christian nonprofit, FMSC is dedicated to seeing every child whole in body and spirit. FMSC works with food distribution partners that stay with communities for the long haul, empowering them to move from relief to development. FMSC meals are developed by food science and nutrition professionals to supplement nutritional needs and reduce problems with malnutrition.
Nutrition allows children to grow, thrive and develop to their full potential. You can sign-up by scanning the QR code, or go to the Feed My Starving Children website and sign up with code 93VD5B. Contact Rev. Rebekah Anderson for more details.

Please note that Family Night and Christmas Camp will not be held on November 27 due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Christmas Camp will meet on Wednesday, November 20, December 4, December 11 and December 18. Friends are welcome—We hope you’ll join us!
