Worship Service

The Nursery is staffed today. Thank you, Cindy Boender & Estella Huesman. Please check your child in.  

If you use the Nursery, please clean it up before you leave. 

The special offering next week will be for Habitat for Humanity. This ministry provides new homes for deserving families.

We would like to thank Pastor Phil, Cindy and all of our church family at Rolling Acres, for your prayers, calls, texts, cards, memorial gifts, hugs and love in the passing of our brother - in-law Chuck.  We could physically feel your prayers lifting us up when we needed it the most.  We have missed you all in our absence while walking alongside my sister in the past 2 months, but look forward to time back when life settles down again.  Brad and Mary Jo

Celebrating a high school or college graduate this year? Graduation Sunday has been changed to May 17th! Send us a photo, a short bio, the school they’re graduating from, and headed to, and a note about their future plans. I will be featuring them in the bulletin and on the bulletin board after Easter. Thanks.

Celebrating Answered Prayers and God’s Goodness

We give thanks and praise for Mike Clark’s acceptance of our Music Director position. We look forward to welcoming Mike and his family as we celebrate God’s goodness together on April 12, 2026. And yes—there will be cake as we rejoice in this new chapter of ministry.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped lead and support worship throughout: Lent, Good Friday Service, Sunrise Service, Celebration Service, and Easter Breakfast. Your dedication, creativity, and servant hearts made this season deeply meaningful. We are truly Blessed to be a Blessing. — Pastor Phil

REMEMBER our wonderful opportunity to bless our missionary families—the Klompiens in Nepal and the Helfers in South Africa—through our financial gifts. If you’d like to contribute, simply write “missionary families” in the memo line of your check or Venmo, and your gift will be designated directly to their ministries. We look forward to a summer visit from the Klompiens once again. Stay tuned for that....

  UPDATE ON SAMARITAN'S PURSE MISSION TRIP: It is time to finalize our team for a Samaritan's Purse mission trip this fall!  How does a week in North Carolina, Burnsville specifically, in October sound?  That's right.  We can sign up now for a week in October, but first we need to finalize our team members.  If you haven't indicated your interest in this mission trip yet and want to go, please add your name to the list at the Connection Center. Someone from the Outreach team will be calling you in the next week or two to nail down your commitment. Youth 14-15 must be accompanied by the same gender parent or legal guardian.  Youth 16-17 must be accompanied by a same-gender chaperone. We will leave MC on a Saturday and leave Burnsville, NC on the following Friday after work. We will be repairing homes or working on a new build home. This area in North Carolina was heavily damaged in the September of 2024 Hurricane Helene. No prior skill is needed; just a heart for service. This is a great opportunity to serve hurting folks in the name of Jesus!

Church Cancellation Policy Updated: In case of a tornado watch or warning, all church activities and church services will be canceled. This is because we do not have a basement. If school is cancelled, all activities at church will be canceled as well. The final decision to cancel a church service will be made by the Elders. The VP of Council/Elders will initiate the calls and process to other Elders for discussion. Once it is determined that the service will be canceled, efforts by the Elders will be made to contact the congregation.

  Would you like access to the devotional offered by the church, please call 641-424-1369 or email the church secretary at racrcsec@msn.com.   

Have you checked out Missionary Corner? There are updates from our missionaries, the Klompien's, and the Hefler's. Copies are available for reading. Please take one and see how they have been sharing Christ’s love and mission

Reminder if you borrow tables and chairs from the church, please remember to follow equipment borrowing procedures.  Upon return, please make sure all items are clean and in good order.

 There are activity bags available for the children, during worship service. They are located next to the coat rack in a bin.
