Missio Dei Church
Weekly Update for the Week of April 11



Worship with Peace Community
SUNDAY, APRIL 11

Just another reminder that this Sunday we will be worshiping alongside at Peace Community Church in Frankfort.  The Mokena Lions' Club has commandeered MES for a pancake breakfast, so our brothers and sisters have opened their doors to us.

Service starts at 9:30, not 10:00.  Set the alarms a little earlier.  Get more details here.

Following the worship service, there will be coffee, juice and cookies to enhance our post-worship gathering... and for fellowship sake!

See you there!

Equipped (Prayer Ministry)
SATURDAY, APRIL 10

RSVP HERE

Arthur Wallis once said, "A move of God will last as long as the Spirit of prayer that inspired it." As a whole, we desire to see Missio Dei Church have a strong DNA of prayer that runs through each and every individual and ministry.

We have invited Diane Aardema, the Prayer Leader for the Synod of Mid-America, to lead us in an equipping prayer event on Saturday, April 10 from 9:00 - noon in the Ministry Center. No matter where you are in your prayer life, Diane will walk with us by giving us practices that will help us all develop, nurture and employ a life of prayer.
 
Camp Work Day is Fast Approaching

The seventh annual Camp Work Days at Camp Manitoqua and King's Camp are quickly approaching and once again Manitoqua staff is excited about this event that prepares the grounds for the spring and summer retreat and camping programs!  Each year God faithfully provides so many people that join together in accomplishing projects.  This year's event is scheduled on the same day at both Camp Manitoqua and King's Camp; it is Saturday, April 24, 2010 from 9:00 am - 2:30 pm.  

Lunch and child care are provided at no cost!  Churches, community members, youth and adults will join with camp staff to prepare the grounds for the spring and summer retreat and camping programs.

RSVP here.  For planning purposes, please let Camp Manitoqua know you are coming by April 13.
