adult bible studies

Thanks to all who have already donated to our service project. Items can be left in the church office at any time.

I am attaching the sign-up genius for our next service project. You can bring any items to me on Sundays or at our Wednesday Women's Bible Study nights. I will store in our resource room until we have all we need. 

Deadline for getting all items is March 17. If you have any questions, please reach out to me. 

 Thanks for the love you show each other and beyond our church! 
A message about our project from Abigail Crowder, Program Manager DuPage for Exodus World Service Organization:

"I am so glad that Glen Ellyn Covenant and the women's ministry will be moving forward with collecting a Welcome to America! Pack

  • I have attached the most up to date pack lists, but they are the same as the ones in the Welcome Pack Guidebook

  • I have created an online sign up link that can be shared with other members of the group, or used as a general checklist to mark when someone has purchased something from the list. 

  • As a reminder, we recommend collecting for a family of four, but holding off on bedding until you are matched with a family. It is titled "GEECC Women's Ministry Welcome Pack". Here is a shareable link: https://signup.com/go/cdOvPHU

  • I have noted that our target date is March 17th to have everything collected and will follow up around then to see how everything is going."

MISSIONS FOCUS

Missions Partner Event
We look forward to another partner being in worship with us, on Sunday, February 25. A relatively new partner—Julius, who is affiliated with Cup of Cold Water Ministries—has been supported by our church since 2022.

A “coffee” with Julius and his wife Heleen will be held the evening of March 1 to raise awareness of this dynamic ministry. The invitation below is extended to those in our church family who would like to learn more about the ministry.
