April Mission of the Month: “Words of Hope”, an international media ministry working to build the church throughout the world. They focus on areas that are hard to reach with the gospel, either because of poverty, geography, or social antagonism toward Christianity.  You can send this month’s Mission gift to the office, or donate via our website, www.icrclansing.org, under “Giving”.

A Need for Lightweight Summer Dresses, sizes 12-18 Months- Ann H niece, Nora L, who is currently serving at an orphanage/maternity center in Haiti, has a need for lightweight summer dresses size 12-18 months.  There are no thrift stores open, so we'll have to make our own. Simple patterns will work best, as these will be no closure affairs. Haitian moms do little with diapers, so the little matching panties that we might use will not be needed. Also, If anyone who doesn't sew can donate lightweight fabrics, that would be appreciated as well. Laundry is done by hand in the rivers, so cotton, or easy to wash and dry material is important. Anyone interested in helping out can contact Ann H, or Carol C.

Thank You for Your Continued Tithes and Offerings:  The ongoing ministry of the church relies on the generous giving of its members. Even though we won’t be gathering at the church building you may submit your tithes and offerings online via our website at, www.icrclansing.org, and then click on “Giving” at the top of the page, or you may mail them directly to our office at 3200 Delta River Dr., Lansing MI, 48906.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the church office at (517) 321-2495.

If You Need to Speak with Pastor Tom:  He can be contacted by phone email at tom.grabill@gmail.com.
