ANNA NARROWS GENERATION GAP

Anna, daughter of Chad Hauschild, reached out to Lillian Fritz of McGregor this Sunday afternoon. Anna's desire to embrace Lillian, and other care facility residents, stems from a deep passion to cross the generation gap and build fellowship across age lines. Following her visit, Anna remarked, "it makes me feel good inside." 


Anna's example of unconditional love is a profound message of hope. Thank you Anna and Lillian for teaching us that the love of God knows no bounds.

FIRST CONGREGATIONAL GOES KEYLESS ON EPIPHANY

On Friday, January 6, 2011 (the feast of Epiphany) a key less lock was installed on a side door at the church. Robyn Denning and Keith Hallberg labored for hours as they outfitted the church with a new Kaba E-Plex 5000, this complex electronic lock will provide our active church with ease of access. No longer do members, friends, contractors, etc., requiring access to the church have to wait on others. User designated combinations can now be issued to anyone and the church is now accessible to anyone requiring access. 

Pastor Gentry believes that with the growing traffic at the church, with more groups require access to the building, going key less on one of the doors was timely -- easing the frustration of scheduling and lost or forgotten keys. No longer is access denied to those who need it, we have the means to allow people to make even greater use of the church. 

Check it out next on your next visit to church and be sure to get your code.
