Jake's Boys Music Ministry In Concert

Sunday, March 6, at 5:00 pm

at Atlanta United Methodist Church

corner of 2nd and Race Sts.

 

The Atlanta UMC invites you to join us on Sunday, March 6, at 5:00 pm as we present "Jake's Boys" in concert. The group of 8 guys from the Gibson City area have been performing together since 1997, when they first came together for a local production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. All eight of the guys participated in the musical and wanted to keep singing together after the final curtain call. At first they got together every week just to sing. Eventually someone asked them to share at community service and things haven't been the same since. Their name came from the fact that most of them played sons of Jacob in the musical. Jacob's Sons became Jake's Boys.

They have performed for small church families, large church families, pie auctions, local benefits, civic organizations, ice cream socials, appreciation dinners, county fairs and state conventions.They sing mostly southern gospel songs, but also share a wide variety of music that centers on patriotic and old-time hymns.

There is no charge at attend. A freewill donation will be gratefully accepted, and funds raised will go towards the seminary expenses of a member of the congregation who is working towards his ministerial degree and is currently attending Garrett Theological Seminary in Chicago.

A spaghetti dinner will follow the concert and is open to everyone. Mark you calendars now!

KIDS WORSHIP — Rescue 911
March 2016


Grab your gear and get ready to EXPLORE what the Bible says about salvation! We’ll join up with some other explorers like Saul and Nicodemus who found out about Jesus’ gift of Eternal Life! Each Sunday, we will explore the Bible in a variety of ways; skits, videos, experiments, object lessons, snacks, and more! Our key verse for March is, “For God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son. God gave His Son so that whoever
believes in Him may not be lost, but have Eternal Life.” John 3:16 Plan now to join us in finding out about this great gift!
Moms and Dads, here’s what we will be exploring if you want to talk about it with your kids at home:

• Jesus Saves the Criminal on the Cross—Luke 23:32-43. Jesus is the only way to heaven.

• Saul’s Conversion on the Road to Damascus—Acts 9:1-19. We receive forgiveness through Jesus.

• Nicodemus Learns About Eternal Life—John 3:1-17. God wants to give us Eternal Life

Our kids are now working to help Pioneer Bible Translators translate Bibles in Guinea, West Africa. See our preschool children pictured here with the victory trophy, representing their accomplishment of translating the first verse. Each verse costs about $38 to translate! AND our kids are well on their way to translating another verse! As each verse is translated, we will add it to the Bible page on the wall that is pictured! Please pray for our kids and encourage them in accomplishing this awesome task!



 

Seder Meal & Service of Shadows at

Lincoln Christian Church

204 N. McLean St.

Thursday, March 24

Join us for this very special evening as we experience the Jewish Passover meal that Jesus celebrated in the upper room with His disciples, where Jesus instituted the communion service that we share each week. We will learn the history of the Seder meal and taste the various foods that are symbolic reminders to the Jewish people of the deliverance by God as He brought the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery. The Sanctuary Choir will help to set the festive and anticipatory mood with music accompanied by scripture and powerful images on video.

There is limited seating for this family experience. We have room for 302 people. 200 people will be reclining at low tables just as Jesus would have reclined with His disciples at the Last Supper. Bring a cushion to sit on! There are 100 seats at regular tables and chairs for those who cannot sit on the floor. Because of the limited seating, pick up free tickets at the Welcome Center. The service is at 7:00 and will be under an hour. If we run out of tickets, we will add another service at 5:00 p.m.

This very special service will help to prepare your heart for Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday on Easter! You do not want to miss this!
