  • The Old Stone Church in Rockton needs a part time pianist for weekly services, every Sunday at 9 a.m. The pianist will work with the pastor and the Worship Support Group to choose music for the services. Eventually they would like to restart their church choir, so if you have experience in this field, this would also be welcome.  This position offers a weekly paid salary. For more information, contact Bonnie Estrada at 815-904-9876 or bonnie2@charter.net.
  • This summer the Audubon Mural Project has brought three bird-themed murals to Rockton and South Beloit. Murals include “The Last Watcher” by Brett Whitacre and “Where the Grasses Grow” and “Legs for Days” by Justin Suarez.
