FALL CAMPAIGN! 'COME HOME' TO SHABBONA CHURCH!
Have you ever Come Home? Perhaps you have Come Home from college? Perhaps you've Come Home from the military? When I was in the United States Air Force I remember Coming Home. I had been away from home for a long time and so I dreamed about Coming Home. As I clung to my hopes and memories I dreamed about Coming Home to my mother's food. To Come Home was to return to a place where I felt safe. To Come Home was to enter a place where I was loved and encouraged by the prayers and hopes of a supportive family. Yes, to Come Home was something very special!
It is our hope, that if you don't already have a 'Church Home' we invite you to consider the friendly fellowship of believers at Shabbona Church. Perhaps you are someone who has wanted to return to a Church Home for some time. Perhaps you are a parent who wants to find a Church Home with an active Youth Group. Perhaps you are a parent desiring to place your children in a Sunday School. Perhaps you are an adult seeking to find a port in the storm of life. Or, perhaps you remember the days of your family friendly country Church and wish to offer that opportunity to your family. If so, we invite you to come and check out our “Church Home.” To make your journey a little easier we often have upcoming events that might serve as a good means of introduction. Here is a short list of 'some' of the events. However, I encourage you to read the rest of the newsletter to discover more details regarding each of these events and more:
Many years ago a man called Abraham was looking for a Home. We find a remembrance of this story in Hebrews 11:9-10: “By faith Abraham made his Home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.” I trust you will take this moment in time to step out in faith, as did Abraham, and search out your 'Church Home.' And if this turns out to be Shabbona Church then be assured... “No matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here... for we are all sinners saved by grace!” I am looking forward to welcoming you Home!

- Friday Night, October 14th, Youth Rock Concert 7:30 PM we invited a Christian Rock n' Roll Band called 'ApologetiX.' This Pittsburgh band has produced over 29 albums. ApologetiX specializes in combining hit Rock n' Roll songs from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and today with Christian Lyrics. Elvis Presley's 'Hound Dog' becomes 'Found God' and Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' becomes 'Enter Samson.' (More Info?)
- Monday, October 31st, Halloween Party & Haunted House from 4-7 PM . We will have parking lot full of car trunks and trucks decorated and filled with 'goodies' in order to provide a 'safe place' for your children to 'trick or treat.' This event is OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY. In addition, we will be having an AGE APPROPRIATE 'HAUNTED HOUSE' sponsored by our YOUTH GROUP. (More INFO?)
