ANNOUNCEMENTS Are you or someone you know in need of a safe, decent and affordable place to live? Siouxland Habitat for Humanity is accepting partner family applications for our homeownership program for a future home in Hull. Application forms are available: Hull City Office, Hull Library & online at http://siouxlandhabitat.org /our-programs/home-ownership. Completed applications are due by May 16. If you are interested, contact Kurt Franje, 712-476-2804 or [email protected] Cornerstone Prison Church: We want to say "Thank You" to all
who have been there for us in one way or another over the last 4 years. It is both exciting and difficult to anticipate a change and yet we feel called to Faith Reformed Church in Brookings, SD. The list of feelings covers a broad spectrum as we step out of one congregation and into another but peace is also a great part of this transition for us. We ask that you continue to support the ministry of Cornerstone as Pastor Doug De Groot and the other leaders seek to follow God into the future. The fields are ripe for the harvest and it comes with many challenges. We also ask that you keep us in your prayers as we say our "farewells" to the men inside the walls and begin the work God has for us in Brookings. Our final worship service with the guys will be Friday, April 27. Blessings and Peace to you! Rick and Terese Van Ravenswaay Kingdom Boundaries Prison Aftercare Hymn Sing and Ice Cream Social. Do you like singing hymns and enjoy ice cream? Kingdom Boundaries Prison Aftercare invites you to a night of worship by singing hymns and opportunity to learn about our ministry for men being released from prison. An ice cream social will follow the hymn sing. Date: June 10, 2018, Time: 7:00 p.m., Location: First Reformed Church, Rock Valley, Iowa Contact Information: [email protected] or call 712-470-6662.
