Sharing Time-- A new part of Sunday morning worship services
The Worship and Music Committee is planning to introduce a new part of our Sunday morning worship services--Sharing Time. This will be a brief time before the Call to Worship to share announcements, information about upcoming ministry events and programs, call for volunteers for upcoming ministries, expressions of appreciation and thanks to members, recognition of birthdays and anniversaries, family news such as graduations and travel experiences, and community outreach opportunities. Sharing Time will be launched on May 26, and updates will be provided on the Sundays prior to the launch.

Donation bins will be set up in Ferris residence halls between April 27 and May 4.
Students who don't live in a residence hall can drop off items in the donation bin near the entrance of Immanuel Lutheran Church, 726 Fuller Avenue, Big Rapids.
