VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Spring All-church Clean-upBy Gary L. Jaehnel, Facilities Manager

Wed like to provide a special

thank-you to the 30+ people

that came last Saturday morningto help with Spring Clean-Up.

Volunteers ranged in age from

eight to well, lets just say

those who have participated in

numerous clean-ups. Yards were

raked, debris picked up, bushes

trimmed, sidewalks edged,

gutters cleaned out, supplies

transported, windows cleaned,

carpet vacuumed, and many

other projects. Some of these

tasks hadnt been accomplished

for years. Our nine acres ofgrounds and 272,000 sq. ft.

of facilities have an improved

appearance because of the hard

work put in by these individuals

and families. Their willingness

to give of their time and talents

is greatly appreciated.

Take a close look as you

leave the north parking lot.

The overgrown bushes have

all been trimmed to where we

can see out to the street. Betteryet, people can see us. The new

openness might even attract

people driving by to stop in and

check us out.

If you know someone that

helped with Spring Clean-Up,

please let them know how much

you appreciate what they did.

They deserve an extra pat on

the back.

God is good! I want to thank the many people at First

Federated who so willingly helped with the JGM Jesus

Revival. Because of you the JGM Jesus Revival was an

awesome event and I hope all who attended rekindled their

love for Jesus Christ. Marilyn Lee

I want to thank Pastor Rose and staff at First Federated

Church and our Federated family for the support you have

all shown especially this

past year as we prepared

for the Revival. I have

experienced personal

revival this year especially

during the three waves of

training facilitators for the

follow up Bible studies. My

personal experience studying the Bible in an inductive way,

like never before, has helped me to discover Gods Word formy personal life. Deb Crivaro

Praise and glory to the Worthy One! I have witnessed

the work of the Spirit as hundreds responded to a call for

repentance. I saw people come together from hundreds

of churches into unity of worship. I witnessed thousands

waving a white flag of surrender to the will of God and

standing to their feet in commitment to serve the King of

Kings. Jane Lanz

Thank God for bringing Just Give Me Jesus to Des Moines

It opened many doors of opportunities to serve Him in fresh

ways in the last two years. I thank God for First Federated

being willing to be an active church to support the efforts

needed for this to happen in our city. Pat Harker

The event had tremendous impact on our city. However, now is

not the time to rest on this individual accomplishment.

John F. Kennedy, another effective political leader, reinforces

the need for continued action, saying, There are risks and costs

to a plan of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks

and costs of comfortable inaction.

Do not be lulled into comfortable inaction. Go to our website to

locate a follow up Bible study to keep your spiritual heart revived!

Pursing the VisionJust Give Me Jesus ReportBy Joe Lightfoot, Pastor of Adult Ministries

Vaclav Havel, by trade a playwright, was the last President of

Czechoslovakia and the first President of the Czech Republic. A

visionary leader, his thirteen years in office saw radical change

in his nation, including implementing capitalism and democracy,

and entry into NATO and the European Union.

Havel said his success came from more than vision alone.He concluded, Vision is not enough; it must be combined with

venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps; we must step up the

stairs.

Havels attention

to initiative helps us

focus on the next step

in the Just Give Me

Jesus revival. The next

step involves your

participation in a small

group Bible study

titled The Vision of

His Glory. This seven-week study from the

book of Revelation focuses on the glory of Jesus our Redeemer

and King. Five of the studies in the metro region will be held

right here at FFC. To identify the best time and location for you,

go to our website at www.firstfederated.org. You will be able to

get information to contact the leader of the group you desire to

attend.

This wonderful opportunity to continue to revive our hearts

and deepen our focus on Jesus comes from the powerful

experience of the Just Give Me Jesus event. We were blessed to

be able to support the rally financially and through the efforts

of many here at FFC. Some of those involved shared how their

involvement impacted them:

I am amazed how God took me out of my comfort zone,

showed me how He could use me, stretch me, cause me to

grow in my faith, and see Him provide over and over. All I

had to do was be willing and available. I am so thankful for

FFCs promoting JGM Jesus and their generosity of giving

to this revival. God changed many lives and brought many

to accept Him or to make recommitments.Jan Mudderman

Join Just Give Me Jesus Follow Up BibleStudy this weekVison Of His Gloryby Anne Graham LotzSeven Week StudyTimes and locations are listed: www.FirstFederated.org

The book of Revelation was

written to help Christians who are

experiencing pressure and problems

stress and suffering, crisis and

change, to keep their focus on Jesus

at such a time as this. Anne leads a

workshop that teaches participants

how to listen to Gods voice speak

through His Word. This workshop

prepares viewers for the remaining

six sessions involving personal

study using a workbook, followed

by small group discussion. Each

one-hour video message, which

Anne filmed at The Billy Graham

MISSION ONE Reaching others for Jesus ChristChaplain Jerry & Patty Van CleaveMission Board: Polk County Jail Ministry, Inc.

Location: Des Moines, Iowa

What does he do?

I am on call 24/7, every day. I

could be called upon to give a deathnotification, officiate at a funeral or offer

comfort to the sick or dying. I could be

asked to perform a wedding ceremony

for deputies, or ride along with them

while they are on duty. As I get to know

the officers, I am given opportunities to encourage them, and

to minister to them and to their families. I am available to offer

marriage and family counseling and to help them cope with the

often difficult tasks they are called upon to perform. Hospital

visitation of deputies or their family members are opportunities

to build relationships. They are a close knit group and it takes

time to develop relationships of trust with them. As public

servants assigned the task of protecting our community, they areunder a lot of stress as they are the disciplinarians and the enforc-

ers of justice. The task of building br idges into the deputies lives

is slow but rewarding work and I am honored to serve them.

The State of Iowa sees over 70% of the incarcerated going

back to prison. With the faith based method only 6% go back to

prison or jail. What a huge difference when one is truly trans-

formed by the power of God!

Come See Our New Digs!!Were ready for some serious

digging at our Childrens Registration

Station as our check-in desk has

been replaced with a bulldozer! A

bulldozer?? Thats right. You have

to come see it!! Oh, and bring somevisiting children with you!

Thank you to Todd Pierce and his

construction and design team for this

awesome facelift! (He will be adding

a few more accessories to the look in

the near future.)

KZ ChurchGod Rocks our new

theme for KZ Church

brings us the story of

Nehemiah this week.

Nehemiah had a good jobas a cupbearer. However, he

felt Gods call to return to a crumbled Jerusalem and lead the

effort to rebuild. There was opposition. Nehemiah had plenty of

opportunities to say, Its just not worth it and quit, but he didnt.

He relied on Gods strength to get the job done and he called the

people to rejoice! Ask your child all about Nehemiah and what he

did when things got tough.

Starting TODAY and for the

next several weeks the chapel will

be under construction. Our KZChurch program will be meet-

ing in the Xtreme room, #205,

upstairs. Follow the signs to collect your child after the service.

New ArrivalDoug and Bonnie Smalley are excited

to welcome grandson, Carter James

Webb, on April 27th. Carter is the son

of Krista and Andrew Webb who live here in West Des Moines.

Welcome to the extended Federated family, little one!
