Ladies of Peace- "Coffee and Conversation" Meeting at Dunkin Donuts in Silvis on Tuesday,  Jan 28th at 4:00 p.m.

Welcome, Ann's Helping Hands - Ann's Helping Hands has found a new home! Since the closing of the Port Byron store almost a year ago, the team at Ann's has struggled to support families in need.  The community has continued to be generous in sustaining the organizational mission of serving our most vulnerable population.  However, without a physical store location, it has been an overwhelming challenge to help people experienceing hardship.  In an effort to re-establish a mission store as soon as possible, the congregation at Peace Lutheran Church (20828 Friedens Road, Port Byron, IL) has graciously offered to house Ann's Helping Hands in the lower level of their building.  While the decision to move to this location was not done lightly, being able to meet the immediate needs of families and children made it a clear choice.  Ann's Helping Hands is projecting to be operational by February 2020, providing no or low cost clothing, household goods, furniture and other necessities to Rock Island county and surrounding areas.  Please continue to watch for updates as the Ann's team and Peace Lutheran prepare for the store opening!

Annual Blood Drive-Saturday, Jan 4th at Countryside Christian Church from 7:30 - 11 30 a.m.  Any questions, talk to Pauline Tomlinson.

Choir Practice will be immediately after church services when scheduled.

Birthday Sunday List. The list is on the bulletin board in the narthex.  Please consider sharing this opportunitiy to serve your church family.
