What Difference does the Holy Spirit Make
IN the Life of a Believer
IN THE Life of the Church
Last week in worship, we turned to John’s gospel to reflect on God’s generous invitation of love, offered to each one of us, through Jesus Christ and in the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-26).
This Sunday, we welcome Andrew Lauber (my son) to our pulpit, preaching from John’s gospel 15-16: The Work of the Spirit of Truth. Andrew is in his third and final year of the MDiv program at North Park Theological Seminary. He and his wife, Favor, live in Chicago and attend New Community Covenant Church in Bronzeville.
Join us for worship this Sunday! May you know the Lord is with you always, Pastor Dawn

Thursday Evening Book Club
On Thursdays the Justice group will be studying material from World Relief called
DISCOVERING AND LIVING GOD’S HEART FOR IMMIGRANTS: A GUIDE TO WELCOMING THE STRANGER
This guide is intended to help you learn more about a very complex and controversial topic, one that tends to evoke passion and sometimes disagreement."
We picked this topic because in all the current debate about immigration and the border, it was hard to understand the issues and we all wanted to become more informed.
Anyone who would like to receive the pdf or printed file of the guide and/or join the Zoom discussions Thursdays 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. should contact Mary or Scott Crickmore.
