It was a reflective time as we joined in prayer for today's 75th National Day of Prayer, “Glorify God Among the Nations—Seeking Him in All Generations," based on 1 Chronicles 16:24, which reads, “Tell every nation on earth, ‘The LORD is wonderful and does marvelous things!’”

Thank you to Pastors Glenn (families) and Marc (church), Annette (businesses), Scott (education), Joy (media), Walter (government), Vince (military), and Christine (HC pastors) for leading us in prayer.

Our next First Thursday Luncheon will be June 4th.

Joy to Serve opportunity! Calling all Joy Ministry folks! One of our church family helps put together the Lower Town Arts & Music Festival each year and this year several organizations that normally help have had to back out. So, they are needing help working the gates. If you love Lower Town, love art and music and would love to partner with one of our own, then prayerfully consider signing up to help out. The sign up sheet is posted so that you can see the time slots needed. If you're interested, please contact Janel at 618-599-3909 or email her at [email protected].
