All Church Community Hour

Are you looking for a new way to get involved at church?

S.O.S. - Share Our Skills meets on the THIRD Saturday of each month to tackle fix-it projects around the church. The group meets at 8:30 a.m. for coffee and then works from 9:00 to Noon.

Only have an hour that day? No problem, just stop in and stay as long as you can. Many hands make light work.

Getting the Camp Ready for Camp! On a Mission to Wesley Woods

The Mission, Justice and Community Work Area is dedicated to reaching out to serve others and getting as many people as possible to become involved in connecting our members to each other and those in need. This inspired the idea of an All Church Mission Trip, where people of all ages (12 and above) can work, laugh, and live life for a time together while helping others.

In observance of Memorial Day, the church office will be closed Monday, May 27. If you need assistance during this time, please contact Pastor Claude at 630.297.8574.

Join us for a Youth BBQ End-of-Year Celebration! The Chapel Choir will sing and we'll play games!
