Bi-monthly Meeting will be held this Sunday following the morning service.
Christian Ed would like to add more helpers to the already great group of people helping out. If any of these interest you, please let Brenda Terptra, Beth Steenhoek, Vickie Nikkel, Donna Zylstra, Angie Dillion or Cindy Norman know. Volunteers are the framework of any great project/activity. Thank you in advance for volunteering. You are appreciated beyond words!!
Nursery – once every quarter.
Children’s Church – once every 2 months.
VBS Director – preparations begin in January or February.
Sunday School Teacher(s) – we already have great teachers/facilitators but if you feel God’s leading, let us know!
Kids 4 Christ – helpers in the gym from 6:15-6:30 on Wednesday nights, once a month or every week.
Kids 4 Christ – helpers in the classroom from 6:30-8:00 on Wednesday nights. Maybe you want to help only once a month or every other week.
Kids 4 Christ – do you like to plan games. We could use someone to organize games/activities once a month.
Wednesday night Bible Study – meet 6:30-8:00 during Kids 4 Christ. Attend the men’s or women’s study and see your faith grow!
Sunday School – meet 10:30-11:30 on Sunday mornings after church. Usually a RightNow Media study. What a great way to start your week!
Prayer Warrior – As always, prayer for all these events will be needed (and appreciated) to help them succeed! Be sure to include FOCUS and any other committee in the church. All of our committees are very important and vital to the success of Lynnville Friends Church.
Jasper County Hunger Relief will be held on November 7, 2026 in the FCC Building. Please begin to think about forming your teams.
The Home Missions have been providing meals for several in our congregation. If anyone would like to give a monetary donation to help our ministry, please see Jane Vander Weerdt. We appreciate your gifts.
The gray box that sits under the canopy by church is for Love Packages. If you have something to drop off and the church is locked, please feel free to place your donations in this box. Thank you.
The next blood drive will be held next Tuesday, August 11th.
The garden table is set up in front of the church. If you have extra produce that you would like to share, please leave it on the table.
It’s that time of year as school supplies will be out in full source. For the month of August, we will be collecting colored pencils and crayons for OCC. If you would like to get ahead for September, we will be collecting markers. 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.
