June 8-10. This year, each district is invited to participate in giving by donating items to help those with immediate needs. This year’s theme again asks, “Who is my neighbor?” and invites us to examine our work and witness with children. This year’s collection will benefit the Midwest Mission Distribution Center in their efforts to assemble “layette” kits, which are provided to parents to welcome a new child into this world. This witness testifies to the sacred worth of every child. We are Chicago Northwestern District and our goal is 2000 baby washcloths. If you would like to contribute, please bring to church and we will bring it to Annual Conference.
We will serve the Night Ministry on June 16. We welcome your donations of time and/or money to help serve those in Chicago who are in need. Please let Pastor Linda know if you can help assemble on Sunday after church or on Monday morning.
