Joplin Relief Mission Trip

In lieu of our previously selected Denver Trip; we feel the greater need is in Joplin, MO which was devastated by an F5 tornado. We are sending a team of adults and several youth to Joplin to aid in the relief effort. Our team is full at this present time. Hopefully, if there is interest after this trip, we may send another team in August. We will be staying at The Mystery Church in the heart of Joplin. Our team will depart on Monday, July 18 and return on Saturday, July 23. We are planning several training sessions prior to our departure. See Pastor John, or Mike Ketelsen for more information.

Here is the audio of our team reporting to our church about our Joplin experience:  http://clinton-efree.org/sermons/?sermon_id=32

Girls Only Conference

The Third Annual Girls Only Conference will soon be here!  On Saturday, April 9th, from 9am to 3pm in our church fellowship hall we will once again, host our Girls Only Conference.  Ten churches have been invited to come and we want all of our girls to invite their friends to this event.  We have a fantastic guest speaker scheduled to come and share with us.  Ashley Romig currently works for a Taylor's Closet, a non-profit organization in Fort Lauderdale, FL.  However, she and her husband, Scott, are preparing to move to the Middle East full time.  Ashley says that her relationship with God exploded when she was 14 years old and she has never been the same.  She has traveled around the globe to share God’s love with others.  Recently, she spent a year in North Africa and she is eagerly anticipating her return to the Muslim world.  Our theme for the conference is “Heart throb:  What does your heart beat for?”  It is designed for you to understand God’s call on your life, and to challenge you in your relationship with Christ.  All girls in grades 6 to grades 12 are encouraged to attend this event.  The cost is $15 per student.  You will be served a great lunch that includes a Garden Salad and Bread, your choice of Angel-hair pasta (either Meat Marina or Chicken Broccoli Alfredo), a dessert, and a drink.  There will be teaching, praise songs, some games, and some wonderful door prizes.   Won’t you and your friends join us for this extraordinary event?  Please sign up with Pastor John before Friday, April 5th.
