Retirement Celebration Planned

The following is press release information that we've forwarded to our local newspaper:

Rev. Van Frownfelter retires this Sunday as pastor of First Assembly of God, concluding a 20-year marathon of church leadership in Mattoon.

A special “Leaving a Legacy” tribute service is planned for this Sunday at 9:30 a.m. at the church, 900 Dewitt Ave. East.

The community is also invited to a retirement celebration Sunday from 6p.m. to 8 p.m. in the church’s auditorium. The community is invited to stop by anytime during the evening reception to visit with the Frownfelters. Special comments regarding the family will be made at 7:30 p.m.

Rev. Van and Diane Frownfelter served at First Assembly of God in Mattoon from 1989 to this weekend. Prior to that they served as pastors in Lincoln, IL from 1978-1989 and Chicago from 1973-1978.
