The trustees would like to thank those who came out to help clean our church building the past couple of days. It is a big job made easier by working together with our church family.

Reminder - When putting trash in the dumpster, all boxes must be broke down and flattened. We are thankful for an active church but the dumpster only gets emptied every other week and when there are busy weeks like the past one, it fills up quickly.

Lost and Found - Please check the lost and found table for any items that may belong to you. Any items not claimed by April 1st will be donated.

Roanoke Church Family Camping Weekend - It’s time to start planning for the Roanoke family camping weekend. This would be a Friday through Sunday event where the families from our Roanoke church are invited to camp together. This can be done by tent, camper, or RV. We hope to camp at Comlara Park in Hudson, IL with the dates of 9/25-9/27. One or both nights of camping can be accommodated.

Please complete the Google forms by March 28th if you are planning to come camping with us. Roanoke Family Camping 2026 Google Form Link

New Converts - We rejoice with Graysen Leman (Caleb and Erin) and Paisley Hodel (Mandy and the late Dustin) as they have begun their repentance and walk with the Lord.

Thank You - Dear church family, Words can’t really express how very grateful I am for all of your prayers, love, phone calls, cards, generous gifts and visits since my unexpected surgery and recovery. I know those prayers were a major part of my healing and recovery. It’s so good to be home again. May God bless each one. Hopefully, I’ll be able to return to church soon. I love you all! Sincerely, Sharon Neukomm
