ANNOUNCEMENTS

Sunday Worship: Services will be recorded and streamed on our public Facebook page at 10 a.m. You can get to our page by clicking on the link provided: https://www.facebook.com/ICRCLansing/.

June Calling Team:  Please call Marcia J or Jennifer B with any special concerns or requests.

June Mission of the Month: Forgotten Man Ministries believes in the redemption, rehabilitation and restoration of inmates through Jesus Christ.  They empower chaplains and volunteers to share hope and salvation with the “forgotten” men and women incarcerated in Michigan’s county jails. 

Re-opening ICRC:  Thank you for taking a moment to complete the survey letting us know where you are with reopening the church. Based on the results of the survey the elders have begun discussions about opening safely as soon as we can. Since gathering back together means planning for two different congregations to restart in the same building, our startup plan must be discussed with both leadership bodies and a formal plan put in place. Please be patient with this process and pray for both consistories to have God's wisdom and a spirit of unity.

Search Team Updates:  We're happy to share the Pastoral Search Team has met three times via Zoom. Currently, we are developing the Church Profile Form; content & format and analyzing the Congregational Survey (Pastor) results. We look forward to sharing this information with the congregation soon. Stay tuned!

Prayers:  Please be praying for Wayne K as he recovers from back surgery.

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 to our office at 3200 Delta River Dr., Lansing MI, 48906
