PENTECOST SUNDAY – JUNE 5TH
We invite you to wear red for worship on Pentecost Sunday. This is a tradition that is an outward sign of the inward transformation by the Holy Spirit in each of our hearts.
As ‘tongues of fire’ came to rest on Jesus’ disciples on that first Pentecost long ago, we gather to then go out into the world with the continuing blazing fire that is the hope of God in Jesus Christ, and by the power of His Spirit.
ALL CHURCH BARBEQUES ARE BACK!
Come join us at an open house barbecue every Wednesday from 5-7pm at Jeff & Jori’s backyard (1260 Shady Lane. Wheaton, IL 60187)! Bring some meat to throw on the grill and a side dish to share, and perhaps a lawn chair to sit on. We will provide water and lemonade. Come enjoy your church community as we gather in fellowship together. The Barbecues will run from June 8th through August 17th (There will be no Barbecue on June 22nd, or July 6th). We hope to see you this summer!

SUPPORT OUR NORTH PARK UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIP FUND!
This Sunday, we will have an opportunity to hear from members of our congregation whose lives and faith have been impacted by North Park University, our denomination's college and seminary. Located in the vibrant Albany Park neighborhood of Chicago, North Park has been preparing Covenanters and other students "for lives of significance and service" since 1891. GEECC has benefitted directly -- Leslie, Pastor Jeff, Eliza, and many others in our congregation have studied there!
Our "love offering" this month supports our North Park Scholarship Fund, which will be matched by North Park to help the next generation of GEECCers attend North Park. To make a contribution, memo your check to "Love Offering" or "North Park Scholarship", or give online on our website and select "Give to North Park Scholarship Fund".

South alcove gallery
Our own exhibit of MY SECRET DOUBLE is now on display in our sanctuary. It compliments the traveling exhibit at Wheaton College but is done by our own artists from our congregation. Come meditate on the reflections of our inner voices that no one sees but God.
