Congratulations to our Beloved Pastor Cynthia Thomas! At the Illinois Church of God General Assembly 2020 Fall Meeting, Pastor Cynthia Thomas was recognized for 25 years of ordained ministry in the Church of God. To God Be The Glory! We are thankful that you made that decision 25 years ago! You have our prayers and love!
Tithes & Offerings: At this time, we are asking that you give your tithes and offerings through Bill Pay only. Please do not mail or drop off your tithes and offering. Bill Pay can be set up through your bank (please call, go online, or visit your bank to establish this payment system). Thank you!
Reflection: As this year comes to a much desired close, reflect on the fact that God has kept you through impossible barriers/situations, social unrest and injustices, racial divisions, unimaginable losses, rioting, and overwhelming mental and physical fatigue. Nonetheless, you have not skipped a beat. God is always with us, protecting us and guiding us. He knows and understands how to get us through this journey. He never promised an easy path but He did promise that we would never walk alone. Keep your eyes on the Lord. Worship Him! Praise Him! Pray that 2021 is a year of restoration, peace, and love.
