FEATURED UPDATES
JOIN OUR BURMESE SISTER CONGREGATION AS THEY CELEBRATE THEIR NEW CHURCH BUILDING THIS SUNDAY!
Back in 2014, GEECC invited a congregation of 100 Burmese believers - Bethel Senthang Baptist Church - to start worshipping at Glen Ellyn Covenant. They have been meeting faithfully for worship in the gym every Sunday afternoon since, and their congregation has grown to nearly 300!
Last month, they purchased a lovely old church building in Villa Park. They will worship there for the first time this Sunday, April 10, and have invited our church to join them. Worship starts at 1pm at:
410 S Cornell Ave
Villa Park, IL 60181
We are grateful for the time we shared with BSBC at GEECC, and pray for God’s blessing on them as they start this new phase of ministry.
If you have questions, or if you want to carpool to the church on Sunday, contact Darren Miller (630-596-6486).

SUPPORT “CANS FOR CHANGE” & COVENANT WORLD RELIEF & DEVELOPMENT
For more than 60 years, Covenant World Relief has led our denomination's response to human suffering and injustice around the world. Currently, CWRD's partners are providing assistance to Ukrainian refugees in Poland, flood relief in Ethiopia, food security assistance in Central African Republic, and much more.
During the season of Lent, we have several opportunities to support CWRD's work with the poor and vulnerable:
Follow CWR's Facebook page or website to learn more about their work
Pray for CWR, their partners, and the people they serve
Pickup a "Can for Change" soup can from church to collect coins for CWRD, and bring it to our Easter Sunday service
Go to our church's giving page to contribute, and select the "Give to Covenant World Relief and Development" fund
Write a check any time with "CWRD" in the memo line
If you already give to our "Love Offering" each month, contributions in March and April will go to CWRD
Thank you for your support!
