The Congregation of Christ United Methodist Church, Algonquin is honoring our firefighters on Firefighter Appreciation Sunday, August 11th at 10:00am. Our firefighters protect our lives and properties from fire. During worship Chief Ken Caudle will give a presentation on summer heat safety. We’ll have a blessing for firefighters and their families. There will be a fire drill during service, and the children will take a tour of the Huntley Fire Station #4. A community picnic will follow the worship service.
“Are you prepared?” God cares as a good shepherd watches over a flock. We do not deserve God blessing us, but Jesus affirms God’s delight in sharing the kingdom. God gives not out of obligation but sheer delight. As recipients of the gift of grace extended to us, Jesus urges us to be conscious, aware, and prepared to receive such a gift.
