 Fairmount Kids Camp wrapped up last week with Rev. Michele Henry reporting a strong turnout of over 160 campers. We're celebrating that 10 campers made first-time commitments to Christ, another 20 recommitted their lives, 7 sensed God doing a deeper work in their lives, and over 70 campers prayed specifically for help through difficult situations. A huge thank you to Rev. Michele Henry and Mrs. Jackie Kinney for their leadership, supported by an amazing team of volunteers (including 10 of our district pastors and more than 70 teen cabin leaders and helpers). We pray that God continues to ignite a passion in this next generation to fully pursue Him!  The River Church in Marion hosted Serve Day 2025 this past Saturday, mobilizing more than 350 volunteers who tackled a wide range of projects across Grant County. We're grateful for all who stepped out to make a difference in their community!  Rev. Andy Riemersma and the team at ONE Church in Westfield have another great reason to celebrate: yesterday morning, six more individuals publicly declared their faith through baptism! That brings ONE Church to 12 baptisms this year and a total of 47 baptisms since their launch just three and a half years ago. Praise God for lives #MadeNew!  Each year, our district conference highlights reports from our various ministry champions. This week, we’re spotlighting reports from Dr. Chris Williams, Assistant District Superintendent (click here for report), and Rev. Grace Lopez, Assistant District Superintendent of Hispanic Ministries (click here for report).  As announced at District Conference, we’ll be hosting our upcoming ReEquip ministry workshops on Saturday, September 27, 2025 in the Marion area (location TBD). This will be a valuable morning packed with training opportunities for pastors and lay leaders. Topics will include:
