The Youth Minister Search Committee, led by Elder Rick Bates and including Brendy Lieby, Karie Schmitt, Mike Pozorski, Brenda Tipton and Mike Ketchen, has reviewed several applications for this position at First Christian Church. They have conducted interviews, researched references, and are preparing to present a recommendation to the Elders at their April meeting.
Stay tuned for more updates!

The youth are planning a rummage sale on Saturday, May 9 to raise funds for summer camps and conference trips. If you have any items to donate, please contact Karen A. or Karie Schmitt.

Our "Building on God's Premises" program kicked off on September 7, 2008!
We started with a goal of $50,000 in commitments "above and beyond" regular offerings over the next two years to help cover the anticipated expense of bringing a road and utilities past the south edge of the 40 acres the church owns just across Highway 16 from the new Forest Service building. To date, we have received over $60,000 in commitments! The total projected cost will be about $187,000, so we would love to have everyone participate. To sign up, simply pick up a commitment card at the Information Table in the sanctuary and return the top half in the offering bags. Donations can be made using the "God' Premises" envelopes, or by simply writing "God's Premises" in the check memo line. Thank you for helping First Christian Church to reach the
Black Hills and the world for Christ!

The start time on the project at this point is tentatively set for 2009. The developers for the area continue to work with the city on the details of who will cover what costs. For those who have given a commitment to support the proposed infrastructure costs, we encourage you to continue with your donations. All designated funds are being allocated to a separate money market account that will be used for the infrastructure costs once the developers begin work on the 40 acres. It is not too late to join in the commitment campaign. Simply pick up a "Building on God's Premises" flyer at the Info Table for details. If you have any questions on this project, please contact the elders at fccelders@rapidnet.com .
