SAVE THE DATES: JUNE 8TH - 11TH
This year kids will embark on a wild, creature filled adventure at Rain Forest Falls where kids will learn that God is Creator, All-knowing, our Refuge, Love, and Forever. 

Each day children will explore God’s Word with Sticky Scripture, taking God's Word from their head to their heart. They will engage with Wild Bible Adventures, experiencing the actions and emotions of Bible stories that use all 5 of their senses to take faith deeper. And they will explore God’s creativity firsthand at Imagination Station, a wilderness of sciency wows! There are fun games, energetic and inspiring singing, and tasty “Rain Forest” treats.

Missions Rock! Sunday - April 26

Here are updates from the three missions we work with. Thank you for making a difference to His House Campus Ministry, Great Lakes Christian College, and Rock Lake Christian Assembly, and all of the people they influence for the cause of Christ.

His House Christian Fellowship (www.hhcf.org): His House Christian Fellowship exists to impact the university campus for the Gospel and send out world changers.  With thirteen campuses across Michigan, it is easy for students to get connected with one of the ministries near them. Ashley says, “His House transformed my college experience from one of loneliness to one of belonging. I met life long friends (including my husband) who challenged me in my faith and walked through life with me. I couldn’t be more grateful that God led me to His House.” And Josh wrote: “His House was such an influential part of my college experience. Being challenged to serve at the ministry houses, on missions trips, and service events were instrumental in helping me to practice my faith instead of just talking about it. This fellowship of believers has been, and continues to be, such a blessing in my life.”

Great Lakes Christian College (www.glcc.edu):  Here are some interesting stats pertaining to GLCC: the average net price per year after financial aid is $19,390; there is a 100 percent acceptance rate for all student applications; the student-to-faculty ratio ensures personalized attention at 10 to 1; and 90 percent of students who fill out the FAFSA qualify for financial aid. GLCC offers the best of both worlds — a close-knit Christian community with access to the vibrant metropolitan area. Their campus is within easy reach of downtown Lansing, scenic lakeshores, professional sports, and countless cultural destinations across the region. Students choose GLCC not only for its Christ-centered education but also for its easily accessible location in the center of Michigan. Faith and learning grow together in a supportive environment where you’re close enough to home to stay connected, yet far enough to discover who you’re called to be.

Rock Lake Christian Assembly (www.rlca.org): We are helping RLCA to “pack the pantry” as they begin preparing for the children’s summer camping season. The collection of food items is beginning to build up, as you can see by the table at the front of the worship room. Setting on the table is a flyer of the food and items the camp could benefit from—you can take a photo with your phone to help you remember what they need the next time you are at the grocery store. Registration is now open for students to sign up for their weeks of camp. Some weeks are limited in the number of students they can accommodate, so don’t delay: sign up your child today by going to the website. Community Christian Church pays the cost for kids who are affiliated with CCC’s ministry. This is a great opportunity for your child to grow in the Lord and in their faith. See Shelley for more details.
