Students in 6th through 12th grade, our youth group is taking a trip to the beach this weekend, rain or shine! If it's storming, the plan is to stay at the carousel, but the youth leaders are hoping Michigan weather pulls a Michigan and the forecast changes so the teens can make it to the splash pad or beach. Please let Lucas or Deb Schiefer know if you plan to attend so they can plan proper transportation

As we look forward to worship service tomorrow, Pastor Scott would like to share this message, "Please, please, please bring someone you care about to church with you tomorrow. This could be the most important day in their eternal lives." One day seems small in comparison to a lifetime, but one day can make all of the difference in eternity. If you do not have a home church, we would love to have you join us and give SLCC a try. If you attend with us regularly, invite your friends and family. You never know how God might use that hour in your life or the life of your loved ones. Worship services starts at 10 am. We hope to see you there!

We have a new ministry opportunity! If you're a bit of a techie, a little bit of a ham, or have a creative mind, we need you. We're looking to step up our video announcement game and we need a team of video editors, announcers, and a creative director who are willing to meet between Thursday and Saturday each week to create the Sunday morning video announcements. Our longterm goal is to have quality video announcements produced by a dedicated team of individuals. Anyone willing to help us reach this goal, please contact the church office by email, phone, or Facebook direct message.

Today, we pause to give thanks for and honor those who gave their everything to secure our freedoms. Thank You, God, for those whom you have given the passion and patriotism to make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure we remain the land of the free. (Photo source: Pinterest)

There are approximately 250 commands or declarations regarding musical praise of the Lord found in the Bible. It's no wonder that musical worship is such an important aspect of the Christian life and of fellowship within the church. For many, music is a form of communication for the adoration and gratefulness felt toward our Creator and Savior. That is precisely how our Worship Team at SLCC feels about leading the congregation in praise on Sunday morning. In fact, that is almost exactly the words Shelly, our Worship Director, spoke when asked how she feels about her role in ministry. "Worship is almost like putting prayer to music. It's a unique and beautiful way to communicate our love and life to the King of Kings in gratefulness for what He has done." Our Worship Team is encouraged on Sunday mornings, watching the congregation join in praise. Seeing the power and holiness of God reflected in the voices raised to honor Him and witnessing individuals in the congregation give themselves fully in worship of our King strengthens and restores our Worship Team each week. Their hope is that each person who joins together in praise will be inspired to either come to know God personally or to know God more deeply and personally.

The Church has seen so much of the Millennial generation step away, but if we connect this powerful group and help them step into God's calling for their lives, our world would change. Visit us May 6th and hear a message from the Word as Pastor Scott Stambaugh inspires all generations to embrace God's calling so we can become World Change Agents. Morning service begins at 10 am. We hope to see you there!

Sunday, April 15th, is Week 2 in the Raising Life Ready Kids sermon series. The real Pastor Doug Cuthbert will be sharing a a biblical perspective on parenting in today's culture, while Lucas Schiefer will be joining him to help raise a faith-based awareness for some of the unique struggles faced by the current generation of adolescents and children. We hope to see you at the 10 am morning worship service!

Chris McKenna, founder of Protect Young Eyes, has been in the news for a few years now. He's recognized nationally as an expert in internet safety for children and teens. The Protect Young Eyes group will be coming to Sister Lakes Community Church on April 25th to offer insight for parents, caregivers, educators, and relatives to help develop healthy boundaries and a stronger understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of raising children in a digital culture. Our youth directors attended a seminar by Protect Young Eyes and found the information incredibly helpful for working with teens and raising their own young children, two very different age groups! This will be a great opportunity for anyone who regularly interacts with children or teens, and a great opportunity for teens themselves. Check out this news interview and be sure to head to the seminar event page for more information (link in comments). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFq0N6WWVWM

We hope to see you there!

"For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one Man the many will be made righteous." 1 Corinthians 5:19, NIV Join us tomorrow morning for our special Easter Sunday services.

We just want to take a moment to thank all of the donors, vendors, chefs, volunteers, and speaker who helped make our Sportsman's Banquet happen yesterday.

If you were in worship service Sunday morning, you might be curious about the drone video from Trunk or Treat. We couldn't get it to play during service, but we can share some of it right here! Thank you to the Clark family for providing us with drone video this year and thank you to all of the volunteers who selflessly served during the event. We hope all who attended had a blast!

We're outside today! Come worship with us!
