Please sign your name, phone number and what you would like written in the bulletin. One line represents one side of the altar. If you have any questions, please contact the Church Office.

It may be difficult to start thinking about Lent when Advent hasn’t yet begun, but the Adult Education Work Area is thinking about it. We are preparing a Lenten devotional for the congregation to use during Lent.
We are seeking submissions from the congregation for this “Upper Room”-style devotional. Please include a prayer and scripture to accompany your meditation. While we don’t seek to limit your meditation, please keep it to 400 words or less.
Thanks to all of you who have donated books to the church library in recent months. Many of them have been added to the library collection and the others will be given to the Downers Grove AAUW used book sale. Book donations are always welcome, particularly those with a religious theme. All church members are encouraged to use the library and check out anything of interest. Please don't keep the books too long or you'll receive a gentle reminder from the church librarian!

Yes, winter is upon us, but the Youth Group and Chapel Choir have Spring Break and even Summer on their minds already. Why? Because of Choir Tour and Mission Trips! Why now? Because we’re trying to figure out how to afford them! How can you help? One easy way is to support our Pampered Chef® Fundraiser for Youth Ministry.
The Downers Grove Patch has a great article about the Interfaith Youth Program that our youth are participating in.
The Giving Trees are now in the Parlor. You have the opportunity to choose tags from several agencies in order to purchase gifts for both children and adults. The tags are marked with the name or initials of the agency.
Please select tags and put your name on the sign-out sheet. Please read the note on the tag to see which kind you have chosen.
Mark your calendar.
Much more info after the first of the year!!!
