International Student Hosting

Fox Valley Technical College currently has about 25 international scholarship students living with host families in the area and attending college. These international scholarship students come from all parts of the world, and a portion of their scholarship requires them to live with host families for the first year of their studies in America.
FVTC has 35 new international students arriving in August for the academic year and are needing homes for them when they arrive. Students will be arriving from Central America, Mexico, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Germany, Armenia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Japan, Switzerland, France and South Korea. At this time there is still a need to place students from the countries you see in bold.
If you would like more information about hosting an international student, and the benefits you could experience, contact Aaron Gorenc at 735-4728, or email him at gorenc@fvtc.edu

Summer Worship Specials

Our worship is always special, but there are a couple of events that will add a very special touch to our worship experiences in August. On Sunday, August 23rd, Amanda Isom will be sharing her experiences of Africa with us. And on August 30th, Kaylee Isom , Abbey Lewis and Jeanne Grable will be baptized.

Church Finances

As of the end of June, we are in the red, (or in the negative), $4,556. For the first 6 months of the year, we have had two positive months in the black, and four months that have been in the red, including May and June. This is a concern. Please pray for our church as we struggle during these difficult economic times.

Congregational Meeting

On Sunday, August 9th, following worship, we will hold a Congregational Meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to vote on the Ministry Council’s recommendations of membership for the following prospective members: Jack and Becky Zoglman, Jeanne Grable, Abbey Lewis and Kaylee Isom.
