Who Are We?
There is some confusion about who the church is and what we stand for. Some people think that the church is primarily a moral organization. Others see us as just supporting traditional values. And others see us (unfortunately) as a political organization.
That’s now who we are We are “Jesus People” who have built our faith on five historical events.

Our Benevolence Fund helps the ABC Family
We believe in community, so we are committed to helping each other! We maintain a fund to help those with emergency needs. (We’ve done well! We’ve helped ABC family members with over $280,000 in the last 20 years!)
To raise funds, we have scheduled a pulled pork dinner and auction. Make a generous donation for the meal and participate in a live auction with some interesting items: A Green Bay Packers chair (other teams also available), a weekend of dog-sitting, a fun electric car for young children, and some desserts! Feel free to bring something to donate for the auction!
This child’s electric car can be controlled either by the child OR by a parent remote controlled, making it very safe for young children. It is electric, with rubber tires, shocks, and springs. It has new batteries and comes with remote controller, charger, and instructions!
Easter is April 20!
Unlike most other holidays, Easter seems to “float” around the March and April calendars and varies from year to year. That’s because Easter is based on the old Jewish months which is based on the cycle of the moons rather than on a modern calendar. That makes Easter on April 20 this year–later than most years!
Plan now to celebrate with us this year, and bring someone with you! We will offer worship at 8:30 and 11:00 and have a ministry fair showing off all of our ministries at 9:45–along with donuts and coffee!
A Hummingbird
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Jesus, Matthew 6:25-26, NIV
NOTE: This hummingbird nest is in Pastor Jack front yard and has two eggs in it. The grandkids are excited to see when it hatches! Though there are no hummingbirds specifically mentioned in the Bible, there are many lessons from nature!
