Youth Pastor Search

The Elders recommend that the congregation extend a call to Scott DeWitt to serve in the position of Ministry Apprentice, as outlined in their letter and job description of March, 23, 2023.  A congregational vote on this recommendation is scheduled for Sunday, April 23, during the morning service.  Absentee ballots will be provided up on request.

Worship Arts Auditions

We are looking for people to join our Worship Arts team. If you play an instrument or sing and are interested in using those abilities to lead our church family in worship, please contact Pastor Jeremy (pastorjeremy@fbczeeland.org or 616.772.4377) for an audition form, music, and to set up an audition time.

Save the Date

The Positive Options Walk 4 Life will be held this year on Saturday, June 24th in our church's north parking lot. Further details on the route and fundraising will be available mid-May. This is a free event and all are welcome. 

New Key code

As a routine security measure, we plan to change the semi-permanent key-code to the doors by the north entrance and the church kitchen in the near future.  If for the purposes of ministry, you need ongoing, off-hours access to the church facility, please contact Pastor Tom to request the new key code.

 

Publications available

Several faith-building Scripture booklets are available in the Narthex … Our Daily Bread is for adults, Unlocked for teens, and Keys for Kids for grade school children.  All are suitable for sharing God’s word with others. 

 

Open House

You are invited to an Open House celebrating the 50th wedding anniversary of John & Judy Schout on Saturday, April 8th 1:00-4:00 pm in the church gym.  Light appetizers and cake will be served.  No gifts are necessary. 

 

Movie Night in Support of Positive Options

Come join in for a fun movie night to watch the short film “Created” and enjoy a delicious meal.  There will be a brief update from Positive Options as well as Shannon Moloney sharing “Our Story, God’s Story: The Gospel as the Blueprint for Marriage, Family, and a Culture of Life.”  Sit back, relax and enjoy the evening while supporting a great cause!  There is no cost to attend but donation opportunities will be given during the event.  Casual attire.
