This is my commandment,
that you love one another as I have loved you.
– John 15:12
Greater love has no one than this,
that someone lay down his life for his friends.
– John 15:13
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
– John 3:16
Above all, love each other deeply,
because love covers over a multitude of sins.
– 1 Peter 4:8

A FAREWELL FROM MAJORS DON & RONDA GILGER
As Major Ronda and I prepare to retire, I want to ask you, do you Believe in Miracles? I do! Ronda and I serve in a miracle every day here in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho at the Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center. You might ask, “How can a building made of brick and mortar be a miracle?" I would point you to a Scripture, 1 Peter 2:5, “You are living stones that God is building into His Holy Temple, what’s more you are His Holy Priests.” This Kroc Center is a Holy Temple and those who work within these walls are indeed living stones. Who are these living stones? This list is long but not exhaustive, and I am afraid I will miss some, so apologies in advance. Former Corps Officers, Colonels John and Lani Chamness along with Majors Ben and JoAnn Markham, whose shoulders we stand on today. Without their foundational leadership, this Center would not be the shining light that it is. Special thanks to Mayor Sandi Bloem, Sue and Tom Thilo, Jack Riggs and Sandy Patano, the Coeur d’Alene Tribe along with a long list of founding Advisory Board members and donors who had the vision and foresight to fight and bring this Kroc Center from a dream to reality. They were all pioneers, and we owe them a deep debt of gratitude.
During our seven years here in Coeur d'Alene, we have come to love and appreciate the Director Team: Kip Sharbono, Stacy Barney, Mike Nunemacher, and Amy Voeller. A stellar cast of truly amazing and dedicated professionals. In addition, we share a note of gratitude to the hundreds of front-line employees and leadership who honor the vision of Joan Kroc every day. I am grateful to our community who fulfilled their mission: if you build it, they will come! This morning, we have over 19,000 members with 3,000 entries a day. Talk about a miracle! This is all possible because Joan Kroc donated $1.5 billion to build 26 Kroc Centers across the United States. Each has their own story to tell, but I think ours is the best! As great as our inception and past was, the future is even brighter! We dream that someday there will be a campus surrounding our Center with an even wider range of services! The Bible reminds me that God is the one who is in control, and we owe all the Praise to Him!
I close with a verse, “He who began the Good Work in you will be faithful to complete it!” Ronda and I can’t wait to see what comes next! Thanks be to God for the opportunity to serve here in Coeur d’Alene!

Moonbeams is designed for boys and girls between the ages of 4 and 6 years old. We learn how to seek Jesus to help us do the things we should, and to be kind and good toward others, in all that we do. To grow to be more like Jesus every day! The moon reflects light in the dark night sky just like Jesus wants His children to reflect His light in a dark world. Moonbeams learn that they can reflect the light of Jesus by being kind and helpful. Moonbeams remember to be a light that shines for Jesus. This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine!
Sunday 10–11am | Ages 11–14
Sunday morning classes 10–11am in The Zone and Café for young men and young women in 6th through 9th grade. The two groups grow in positive social interaction with a game, then divide into 2 classes for a more focused learning time about biblical events, the real people who lived those out, why that matters and how we can apply it to our life right now. We also participate in ways to help our local community, and missionaries around the world.
