Bulletins & Announcements

Just a reminder that on June 28 we will have our normal Sunday gathering at our church.

Lynnville Days is this Saturday! Join us from 5:00–7:00 p.m. for carnival games at the tennis courts and kids activities at the library. Admission to the carnival games is $5, with proceeds supporting our middle school Chicago mission trip. Thanks to the generosity of Zip In, the first 25 kids to play the carnival games will receive a free ice cream cone coupon! Don’t miss the kids water fight at 7:00 p.m. at the fire station. We hope you’ll come out and enjoy this great community event – there’s something for everyone! Thank you to our amazing church family who has volunteered, donated, and supported our students!

The Stewardship committee feels that it is in the best interest of Lynnville Friends to pay Vanderbloemen the entire $20,000 up front.  This will come from the general fund.  In doing this, it saves 5% or $1,000, which brings the total of our investment to hire a Pastor to $19,000 + $4,800 for search related expenses.  It is imperative that we, as a congregation, replenish the general fund as soon as possible so the funds will be there for a pastor's salary plus the needs of the church later this year.   It was decided to take a special offering on the 4th Sunday of every month for 8 months or until the general fund has been replenished.   Why for 8 months?  This is the amount of time we had to pay off the invoice to Vanderbloeman had we chosen to pay in installments.  An envelope will be in the bulletins a week before the offering will be taken each month, so each family will have a week to prepare for this.  The first offering will be taken on June 28.  If you have questions or concerns please direct them to The Stewardship Committee. 

We are going forward with using lynnvillefriendschurch@gmail.com as our primary email address. Please update your address book and use this to send emails to the church. 

The garden table is set up in front of the church. If you have extra produce that you would like share, please leave it on the table.

This year is the church’s 175th! How do you think we should celebrate? The Elders are asking for the congregation’s input and ideas. You can send an email to the church or talk directly to an Elder, they would love to hear from you!

We are collecting different items each as a Church for OCC. For the month of June, we will be collecting toys. There is a basket in the fellowship hall where you can leave them.

Just a reminder to save your plastic bags, they will be recycled into usable items. There is a container for them in the Fellowship Hall.
