Opportunities to Serve our Nursing Home

●     Our residents appreciate when a prayer is given for their noon meal.  If any brothers would be willing to have a noon prayer for our residents at the Nursing Home, please contact Patsy Kaeb at the Home.   This can be a 1 day a week commitment or serve as a sub to be called when we are short.  This again is another way to serve our residents that will only take a few minutes out of your day but is so appreciated by them.

●     Are you interested in driving a resident to a doctor appointment occasionally.  All it takes is a simple driving test to get a special license.  This can be a rewarding time for you to spend time with our elderly loved ones.  Call Patsy Kaeb at the Home if you are interested in being an occasional driver.

Looking Ahead:

Volunteers Needed for Roanoke Ambulance

There's a great need in our Roanoke community for drivers and volunteers in the ambulance dept.  An EMT basic class will be held this month, free of charge, for anyone willing to help protect the community in this way.  Please call Bro. Joe Brady with any questions.  (ph.309-453-5741)

CVE Operation Manager Position

Our ministry at CVE in Magdalena, Mexico mentors young lives with the truth, love, and hope of Jesus Christ.  This includes meeting their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs through education, training, and the security and stability of a home life.  The CVE ministry has been greatly blessed by God and has grown to the point that an Operations Manager is needed.  This position would report to the current Administrator and would be responsible for the day-to-day operations of CVE and coordination of activity on the campus.

CVE also has needs for both single brothers and sisters as well as married couples as they seek to meet the many needs of around 50 children in the orphanage and the numerous children that attend their school.  If you sense God prompting you to know more about this Operations Manager responsibility or serving in another capacity at CVE, please contact Bro. Bill Schick at (520) 395-6000 or email him at cvemexico@gmail.com.

Rochester Christian Guesthouse

The Minnesota and Iowa congregations have opened a guest house about 10 minutes from Mayo Clinic for members and friends of the Apostolic Christian Church who are seeking medical treatment.  Intermittent church services are also scheduled on Sundays and Wednesdays.  Additional information is on the bulletin board.
