We hope you can join us tonight for our weekly prayer gathering. We meet at 7pm in the sanctuary. Together, let's seek his face and hear his voice.
HOLY WEEK SERVICES
Our Good Friday service with communion will be at 7pm and our Easter services will be at 9:00 and 11:00am. Early Childhood programing will be provided for all these services.
MEMBERSHIP CLASS
Are you interested in becoming a member of Wellspring? Join us on Saturday, April 22, from 8:30am-1pm for the Membership Class (lunch included). It’s important to register ahead of time so we can send you information before the class and so we can know how many people will be there for lunch.

CHILD DEDICATION

PRAYER ROOM during LENT
This year for Lent, we are encouraging a slowed down spirituality, with intentional time in quietness and prayer. We are offering a 40-Day Prayer Room that provides this still and sacred space. The rooms also offer interactive prayer stations to walk through individually or  together as home groups or families. It is self-paced. The room will be open:
  • Monday-Thursday from 10am-4pm
  • Monday, Thursday, and Friday evenings 7-9pm
  • Saturdays 8-11am
  • Sundays following the morning worship service 
On weekdays, enter through the church office door. For evenings and Saturdays, enter through the single door on the west side of the building by the fence. Any additional questions or requests for another time, please contact Judy Duncan.
WOMEN'S CONFERENCE
Women of Wellspring, let's discover together how the sweet presence of Christ brings joy, no matter the season. We get to hear from two speakers, share lunch together, and turn our gaze toward Jesus that we might also be filled with the oil of gladness.  We are hosting this special event on Saturday, April 29 from 10 am -2 pm for $10 per person. Registration deadline is March 31.  This is a day led by our own Midwest District of the C&MA!  Register online here.

INTERNATIONAL WORKER FOCUS

International Worker Focus
Let's lift up Joel & Kristen Cagwin serving with Alliance Missions Thailand/Germany

 
Joel and Kristen Cagwin serve with the C&MA as Member Care Professionals for Alliance workers. In this role, they care for the wellness of other international workers so they can thrive in their callings and continue to proclaim the name of Jesus where they are planted.

In July 2022, they transitioned from Germany to Thailand for a one year practicum and internship required for Kristen to complete her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in August. She is working as a counseling intern at Cornerstone Christian Foundation, located in Chiang, Mai, Thailand. Cornerstone is well-known in the world of counseling for providing excellent care for people in overseas ministry.  Joel provides clinical counseling supervision at The Well (another counseling center for missionaries), is a C&MA Member Care professional, logistics coordinator for the Cagwin children and family chef this year. 

 Please pray for the following with Joel and Kristen:
  1. For Kristen to have wisdom and discernment for how best to come alongside her clients.
  2. For Joel as he balances his responsibilities and has travel this spring for Member Care. 
  3. For them to finish this year well in Thailand, for a restorative 3-month home assignment this summer and a smooth transition back to Germany in August.

John 11:18-44

Pastor Mitch Kim
 
Sometimes Jesus doesn’t do what we ask. Why? In John 11, Jesus does not do what Mary and Martha ask. He does not visit when Lazarus is sick, as requested, and Lazarus dies. Yet in the midst of unanswered prayer Jesus is doing something even greater. We see in this passage, Jesus invites faith amidst the tears that we might see the glory of God.
