Our Worship in Living
Welcome to Antigo Community Church! Thanks for worshipping Jesus
with us today. We ask our visitors to fill out a Connection Card and place it in an
offering box in the entryway.
We welcome Bill Roff as our speaker today. Bill is a member of the ACC
elder board and chairs our pastoral search team. He recently made a
career change from English teacher to financial planner. Bill and his wife
Heather, along with their children Seamus, Murron and Bram, live in a 90
year old rural schoolhouse that they remodeled themselves. Bill's hobbies
include bee-keeping, cheering for his kids on the swim team coached by
Heather, hunting, backpacking and canoeing. He also enjoys early
Americana, time in the wilderness, Celtic music, and learning to play the
fiddle!
Pastor Larry and Hilda will return Monday from a week back home in
Michigan. Pray for safe travels.
