Our Church Family

Please pray for any shut-ins in their homes, Leisure Living and Good Samaritan Center-Corsica, as well as our service men and women.

Membership Transfer: At the request of Pastor Jerry and Sharon Buwalda, their memberships, as well as Pastor Jerry’s ministerial credentials, have been transferred to First CRC of Sioux Falls. We pray God’s blessings on their worship and service in that part of God’s family.

Opportunities to Serve

Worship Planning Team: We are looking into forming a joint worship committee to do worship planning for services held at both Grace and the CRC. We would meet every two months. If you are interested, please see Pastor Josh.

Childcare needed: Would anyone be willing to do childcare on Sundays during Sunday school so that parents of young children may attend the adult Sunday school or be freed up to teach children Sunday school? If you are willing, please see Pastor Josh.

Sunday School: We are about ½ way there! We are still searching for teachers from both churches for the 4th/5th class and for the 6th-8th class. Which class are you willing to serve? Please contact Danelle Sonnenberg or Lawrie Lefers with your answer so we can begin classes Sept. 26.

Worship at the Lake: It is time for our annual evening service at Corsica Lake! This special event will take place on Sept. 12, beginning with a potluck supper at 6:00 p.m. The plates, silverware, napkins, drinks and s'mores will be provided. Please bring a main dish to share. After supper, around 7:00, we will be having our church service. Please bring a lawn chair and enjoy God's creation. As always, invite friends or acquaintances to join us. We look forward to seeing you there. If you have questions or need a ride, contact one of the social committee members.

Adult Sunday School: Pastor Josh will be leading an adult (18 and over) Sunday school study this fall. We will go through a study on the Sermon on the Mount by John Stott. If interested please sign up in the back so we know how many books to purchase.

Coffee Break, a community Bible Study, will begin 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, September 15, at the Corsica Christian Reformed Church. We will study the book of Esther. Small group leaders are Joyce Star, Joyce Brink, and Vivian Groeneweg. Jone Van Drongelen will have a story hour for 3-5 year olds. A nursery is planned for younger children IF an attendant can be found. Is God prompting you to serve in this capacity for the six week study? Call Joyce Star, 946-5859.

Women’s Bible Study: On Wednesday, September 15, the Women's Bible Study will begin a study of Esther by Beth Moore. We will meet from 7:00-9:00 PM for 10 weeks. To order a book, talk to Jackie Niewenhuis.
