Thank you for joining us at Immanuel Community Reformed Church. Please help us welcome Yakuv Gurung, who will be giving the message today from Matthew 13:31-34, teaching us about the Kingdom of God.
Yakuv is called to train and raise local leaders and church planters to reach the Nepali-speaking people in Nepal and in the U.S.
Yakuv works with RCA partner Jibit Asha International (JAI), and local church planters in Nepal to make strategies to reach their communities. Their goal is to plant 50 churches in Nepal over the next five years, and to form a Reformed network of churches affiliated with the RCA in the U.S.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
February Calling Team: Please call Harold S or Eric C with any special concerns or requests.
February Mission of the Month: Immanuel Community Reformed Church Personal Needs Closet. This ministry is a partnership with Christian Services to provide personal hygiene items and household cleaning supplies to families in need right here in the community that surrounds Immanuel. To make a donation, you may place a check in the offering plate with PNC written in the memo line, or you may purchase items and place them in the baskets located underneath the mailboxes outside of the sanctuary. This is an ongoing ministry at Immanuel so you may make a donation at any time throughout the year.
New Member’s Class: If you are interested in becoming a member here at ICRC, or if you would just like more information, please plan on joining us after the service today for a “New Member’s” class
Super Bowl Sub Sale: If you ordered Super Bowl Subs, please come to the Family Life Center after the service today to pick them up. Payment is due at that time. Thank you for helping support our 2023 summer mission trip to Sutton, Alaska.
Cardboard Testimonies Class: A cardboard testimony is a way for people to tell the story of their transformation in Christ by writing their testimony briefly on a piece of cardboard, and then sharing it with the church to show the power of the resurrection at work in their lives. If you are interested in learning about God's grace and then sharing your testimony, please look forward to joining this class starting Wednesday, March 1, at 6:00 pm., in the choir room. Attendees will meet each Wednesday for 6 weeks, and then share their testimonies during the service on Easter Sunday, April 9. To sign up, you may visit our website at www.icrclansing.org, and then click on the “Bulletin Board” tab in the upper right hand corner. You may also call the church office at (517) 321-2495 or send an email to office@icrclansing.org
Women’s Brunch: Saturday, March 4, at 9:30 am. Women high school age and up are invited to join us in the choir room for food and fellowship as we get to know and learn from each other. If you are able, please bring a brunch dish to share. You may sign up on the bulletin board tab at www.icrclansing.org, or just come!
