Register for a High School Experience of a Lifetime! - Tri-State Teens Encounter Christ (TEC) is accepting applications for the upcoming weekend at the First Presbyterian Church in Sibley, Iowa. TEC is an interdenominational three-day Christian retreat designed to help high schoolers learn more about their faith and their community. The next TEC is November 21-23, 2025.

Scholarships are available upon request.

CALLED: Full time ministry is an extraordinary calling and great privilege, and critical for the purposes of God in this world. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation. But “how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent?” If you have ever wondered if God is calling you to serve Him vocationally, whether as a pastor, missionary, chaplain, or something else; if you have questions about what ministry is like; if you wonder if it is worth it; if you don’t know the next steps or process – please join us at Dordt University on November 22 from 10-3 for ‘CALLED’. Stephen Terpstra, John Klompien, and John Lee, along with missions and candidacy experts, will encourage you, talk with you, answer your questions, and explore if God is calling you. The event is free of charge and is for people of all ages, from high school to those nearing retirement, who are exploring full or part time ministry. For more information and to register, go to: https://forms.gle/Sg6Zh4Jx6cbPDiE9A or follow the QR code on the poster in your church or school. Questions? Email pastor@firstcrcoc.org .

PRINCE OF PEACE THE CHRISTMAS STORY - This week in your mailbox you will find a card with information for an upcoming production coming to Sioux Falls. Prince of Peace the Musical opens Thanksgiving weekend through December 14th at the downtown Orpheum Theater. This telling of the Christmas story is relevant and rich, giving us the backstory and context of the coming of the Messiah. Many of your favorite Christmas songs are crafted seamlessly into the fabric of the story alongside thought provoking and soul-stirring originals. This is a great opportunity to invite friends and family into a neutral setting that can open the door for Gospel conversations this holiday season.
