We are now in the season of Lent, which is a sacred season of spiritual preparation, self-reflection, and devotion leading up to the celebration of Christ’s Resurrection at Easter. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and concludes at sundown on Holy Thursday. This 40-day period mirrors Christ’s fasting in the desert and serves as a time of reflection, prayer, fasting, and almsgiving (donating money or goods to the poor and other acts of charity.)  Our hope at CFC is that we are all daily growing in our relationship with Him, confessing and repenting of sin and praising God that “His mercies are new every morning!”​

​

On Friday, March 21st Katie & Kenzie Staley, Lisa & Allie Wallace, Gavyn & Shadow Plesscher & Matt Miller will be heading to North Carolina to serve with Baptists on Mission to help repair homes affected by Hurricane Helene. Please cover them in prayer as they travel, serve and share the love of Jesus along the way.

​

Pastor Tim will be holding a Membership Class in the Kidz Kabin on Sunday, April 6th following the morning service for anyone who would like to become a member of the CFC Family. Please contact Kelly Roth if you would like to participate or explore what it means to be a CFC member.

CFC KIDZ!

CFC is preparing to launch a new CFC KIDZ curriculum for our Pre-K through 5th grade kids and we’re EXCITED! After much research and prayer, we have decided to use resources from “Answers in Genesis” which include Bible based lessons, games, activities, and take-home papers with memory verses. We will be launching the new curriculum on Sunday, April 6th.

​                                                                                                                               

If you missed the CFC Kidz Ministry training meeting last Sunday, you are invited to stick around TODAY for Session 2 in the Kidz Kabin beginning @ 11:30. We are looking for head teachers and helpers to assist & you can sign up to help as much or little as you would like throughout the year. Is the Holy Spirit nudging you?

​

The upcoming Women’s Keryx Weekend is April 3rd – 6th & the Men’s Keryx Weekend is April 10th – 13th. Both weekends will be held in Pickford at the Global Methodist Church. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to experience the gospel, who Christ is, or deepen your relationship with Him. There will also be many more blessings throughout the weekend. If the Holy Spirit is nudging you to attend, talk to Chad or Katti Gouza for more information.

​

The Ladies Night Out has been rescheduled for Saturday, April 26th @ 4 pm.  More details will be coming soon.

​

As a reminder…please save the parking spaces in the front (south side) of the Worship Center for our guests, those with small children & others that are less able-bodied to help make it easier for them to join us in worship. Thanks!

​

An additional $229.67 was raised through the CFC “Coins for CareNet” coin drive which brings the total to $1,393.48. Your generous donations will be used to minister to women & men navigating an unplanned pregnancy.

To our dear CFC family:

Thank you so very much for the wonderful farewell party for Matt & me. When we moved to the U.P. in October of 2020 the first church we visited was Naubinway Christian Fellowship. We knew right away that we didn’t need to look any further for our church home. It was so true that at our first Sunday we were guests and after that we were family! We are slowly but surely getting settled into our new rental home in Addison, Illinois with our daughter, Amanda. I’m looking forward to meeting our neighbors. We miss you and the beautiful U.P. already, and pray that God continues to bless and guide you and the ministries of Christian Fellowship Churches and Love in the Name of Christ.        Matt & Elaine Laky

                     641 N. Neva Avenue, Addison, Illinois 60101
