Taking Care of Your Loved Ones - What You Need To Know Before Making a Decision

Four members of our church share their experiences with the aging facilities their loved ones entered. They will help you know what questions to ask about care and the hidden clauses and costs that are found only in the small print of a contract.

Please join us on this year's South DuPage CROP Hunger Walk! (map)

• If we get over 75 walkers, Pastor John Smoke will wear his prized John Wesley bobblehead. 
• If we get over 100 walkers, our Youth Pastor, Howie Snyder will wear his own Wesley mask.

Turn this into a Wesley celebration by registering for the walk online. You can also register in the Parlor on Sundays. The Missions, Justice and Community Work Area will donate $10 for everyone who walks.

Another incentive for registering online:

• Raise over $150 by the walk, and record all of them (online and offline donations) on your CROP Hunger Walk donation page, and you will receive a tee shirt from CWS.

If you can't walk, please donate to someone on the DGFUMC team, e.g., 

• Pastor Greta
• Pastor Jim
• Pastor John
• Pastor Howie
