Crown of Life Church & School

This past Sunday, our Crown of Life family rejoiced as Miss Parker became Mrs. Bannick. It was a beautiful day filled with joy, gratitude, and God’s abundant blessings.

She and her husband, Josh, will soon be heading to Washington for a summer ministry opportunity as Josh continues preparing for pastoral work.

Please join us in praying for the newlyweds as they begin this exciting new chapter, may God guide their steps, strengthen their marriage, and bless their service in His kingdom.

Today, we say goodbye to Pastor Burgess and his family with grateful hearts.

Over the years, Pastor Burgess has faithfully served Crown of Life, sharing God's Word, caring for our church family, and walking alongside us through both joyful celebrations and difficult seasons. His dedication, leadership, and love for Christ have left a lasting impact on our congregation.

While it is difficult to see him and his family go, we trust that God is leading them into a new chapter of ministry. We pray that He richly blesses their family, guides their work, and surrounds them with a loving church community as they begin this new journey.

What an incredible week at Rainforest Falls VBS!

Today marked our final day of VBS programming, and we packed it full of fun! The kids created real clouds, enjoyed some delicious Monkey Munch trail mix, and made the most of the beautiful weather with outdoor games.

Most importantly, throughout this week, our children have been reminded that God is always with them through every storm, every adventure, and every season of life. We are so thankful for all the families, volunteers, and children who made this week such a blessing.
We can't wait to celebrate together one more time at tomorrow's Family BBQ!

Day 2 of VBS at Crown of Life was just as exciting as Day 1!

We were blessed with beautiful weather, which meant our elementary students got to take their games outside, while our preschoolers had a blast playing with a giant parachute. The children continued learning new songs, growing in God's Word, and making giant bubbles that brought smiles to everyone's faces!

🇺🇸 A heartfelt thank you to the 20 amazing volunteers who spent today at Elmhurst Cemetery placing flags on the graves of our military heroes. Your time, care, and dedication helped ensure that those who served our country are remembered and honored this Memorial Day weekend.

Tomorrow, Memorial Day, Elmhurst Cemetery will hold a beautiful service of remembrance beginning at 10:00am. All are welcome to attend as we come together to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Following the service, free coffee and fresh donuts will be available for guests to enjoy fellowship and community together.

We hope to see you there as we remember, honor, and give thanks.
