a message from the children’s ministry
There are great things happening in our Children’s Ministry!
Every week, the kids have been actively engaging with Sunday School lessons, activities and worship. They’ve played, sang worship songs, made crafts, and learned lessons regarding God’s love for them and his people.
We are so thankful for our team of volunteers, who enjoy working with the kids to plant kingdom seeds in their hearts. They have stepped out beautifully during this time of transition!
While we have wonderful volunteers, we are still in need of more to serve our children!
If you are looking for an opportunity to serve, please consider helping with children’s ministry. It is a perfect opportunity to spread the love of Jesus!
‘But Jesus said to them “Let the children come to me! Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” -Matthew 19:14

Groceries for the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry will be collected at church this Sunday, April 16. The list of items needed most this week is on the Pantry’s main webpage.

An impressive 2022 impact report is accessible here.
