First Presbyterian Calendar for February

Rev. Tom Norwalk Guest Speaker


On Sunday, February 17th The Rev. Tom Norwalk, Association Minister of the Western Association of the United Church of Christ will deliver the message at the 10:00 a.m. service at St. John UCC 204 7th Street in Lincoln, Illinois. His message will be informative on the Evangelical Congregational Church in Angola (IECA) with which the Illinois Conference of the UCC has had a fourteen year partnership. The IECA is a growing denomination of 1.5 million people and over 2000 churches with ties to the American and Canadian missionaries.
This ministry has taken on the legacy of the Dondi Mission Station who prior to 1975, when Angola earned their independence from Portugal was the leader of education for life, faith, work and citizenship. Since 2002, the end of the civil war in the country IECA is opening its university to strengthen the outreach of the church. One of its needs is Hymnals, which they can obtain for $3 each and will be a Mission project of the churches of Illinois.
A potluck lunch in the Fellowship Hall of the church will follow the worship service when Rev. Norwalk will be available for more information and to answer some questions. The Public is welcome to attend the worship service and program.
Additional support of the Hymnals Program will be the recipients of the Fundraiser that evening at Culver’s in Lincoln. Members of LCHS Honor Society will join the Missions Ministry of St. John United Church of Christ at a fundraiser at Culver’s in Lincoln that evening, Sunday, February 17. Culver’s will donate 10% of all proceeds from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. to the Hymnals for Angola.

St. John Ucc Missions collects blankets for Church World Service and pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House in Springfield

The Mission Ministry of St. John United Church of Christ Church, 204 Seventh Street in Lincoln has announced Blanket Sunday will be during the worship service at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, February 24th.

This is the time of year when weather here in Logan County calls for many to seek an extra blanket for warmth in our own lives. Because many do not even have a blanket for warmth, Blanket Sunday, an ongoing project of the Church World Service, has been supported by the church from the beginning.

Church World Service is able to obtain blankets for $10 each which in turn are distributed to refugees, disaster victims and homeless wherever the need arises. Every year Church World Service distributes tens of thousands of blankets to people in distress. These blankets provide warmth, shelter and security for those who receive them.

Collection of pop tabs continues to be a project of the Missions Ministry as well. Recycled pop tabs help fund the Ronald McDonald House in Springfield that provides housing for the families of children being treated at the hospitals there.

Those in the community who have no outlet for recycling the pop tabs are invited to drop them at St. John UCC or give them to one of the church members to put in the “Tab Tub” for Ronald McDonald House in Springfield.

Questions on either of these projects can be directed to Verdeen Ingram, Mission co-chair.

KIDS WORSHIP at Lincoln Christian Church—February 2019
Are you a good giver? How do people become good givers? Do you know a good giver? What does a good giver do? Can kids be givers; can kids be good givers? Giving, it seems, is easier for some people than for others. Yet, we all are often moved by the generosity of others who we witness blessing the needs around them.
During the month of February in Kids Worship time, we will look at some biblical givers! We’ll see how they gave their talents, time, treasures and lives to God. We will discover how they were motivated to give selflessly. If you would like to encourage and review this study with your child, the weekly topics are listed below (the weekly point is listed in italics). During this month we will focus on a key verse from Matthew 10:8, “Give as freely as you have received.”


• The Israelites Build the Tabernacle. Exodus 35:6,10–36:7;
We use our talents for God.
• Nehemiah Gives His Time to Rebuild the Wall. Nehemiah 2:1–6:16;
We use our time for God.
• Jesus Tells About the Widow’s Offering. Mark 12:41–44.
We give our treasures to God.
• The Rich Young Ruler. Matthew 19:16–26.
We give our lives to God.
