First Christian Church of Warsaw announces the hiring of Matthew Rogers as lead minister.
Rogers came to FCC from Christian Church of Clarendon Hills in Illinois, where he served as senior minister for the past 22 years.

He has completed extensive training through the Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College and has served as a cohort leader in programs there.
Rogers serves with his wife, Kim; and children, Faith and Jordan. He enjoys sports, camping, fishing and reading.
Rogers stated, “The priorities of my ministry are to create environments for people to become quickly connected to opportunities for community and growth, so they can mature into a fully surrendered follower of Jesus and then be sent on missions for Jesus where they live, work, and play.”

ATWOOD – The second Saturday of each month at 7 a.m., the men of Otterbein United Methodist Church gather for a time of the three “F’s” – food, fellowship and fun. Rick, Tom and others come together to make sure that the men of the church have a wonderful, hot meal to share as we take some time off from the cares of the world. There is a time of sharing in a devotional, too. If you haven’t come before, you really should come out. See if it doesn’t help you in your spiritual life.
So bring yourself, your sons, your grandsons or your dads and granddads. Bring a friend. All are welcome to come and join in fellowship with the Lord.
