Greetings, Brethren –

I pray everyone had a blessed Easter season. It was certainly a joy to share the sunrise with the folks from the Delta Christian Church this year. We gathered at the East Side Cemetery and worshipped our risen Savior, Jesus Christ who reminded us to go and tell others He’s ALIVE!

Congratulations to the Swan family, Harold, Mesenda, and Skai, Kathy Arbegas, and Joe Saresky on your baptisms! Not only have you received Christ into your hearts but you wanted to be baptized to show us all publicly what already had taken place inside of you. We rejoice with you and are so excited that you chose this body of believers to minister and worship with!

I also want the church to recognize that the following families and individuals joined with me for four weeks to learn more about what it means to be a member of Christ’s church. Joe Saresky, Lee Daniel, Larry & Lee Ross, Poodie & Chris Utterback, Josh & Melanie Dekleine, Dru & Misty Glandon, Harold & Mesenda Swan, Austin Bringman, and Linda who watched toddlers in the nursery. In June, I will be starting another church study that I hope will answer the question, “Now that I’m a member, what’s next?”

Finally, I want the church to be aware that the Deacon’s and Deaconess’s have begun a family care outreach ministry. At this point each of us who gather together here at Sigourney Christian are being prayed for and cared for daily by a deacon and deaconess. The following servants, Dan & Deb Clarahan, Keith & Donna Epperson, Harrison & Jill Moore, Deb Schauf, Bill & Kim Meier, Larry & Lee Ross, John & Carol Stutzman, Jack Winfrey, and Austin Bringman have each adopted four or five families to pray and care for. If you have not already, I am sure you will be contacted by your deacon and deaconess soon.

Christ’s peace be with you all,

Pastor, Jim Bringman
