FEATURED UPDATES
Holy Crutons!
Last Sunday some of you may have picked up croutons that I called “Holy Croutons”. These croutons are made from leftover communion bread. Because the bread has been blessed, we don’t just throw away what is leftover, but we either return them to the earth by feeding them to ducks or other wild animals; OR, we can reconstitute the bread into CROUTONS!
Holy Croutons!
We are looking for people to help with the SET Up and CLEAN UP of weekly Communion.
OR perhaps you would like to provide bread for a Sunday.
Would you consider joining part of the group that prepares the sacred meal of our Lord that we share together in each Sunday’s worship service? We will teach you how to be involved in this wonderful ministry of Communion.
See Leslie, Peter Johnson, Meg Tillman, or one of the Pastors if interested.
BARBEQUE AT THE ROOTS will resume in august!
We will resume our final meet on Wednesday, August 16th

MISSIONS FOCUS
Missions Focus
Missions Partners
Our church provides financial support for several missionaries and local and international ministries and service agencies. We invite intentional prayer for these individuals and organizations—four Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) missionary couples, three non-ECC missionary couples, three individuals, and several local (e.g., Glen Ellyn Food Pantry) and international agencies and ministries.
Ongoing Items and Partner Updates
Information on ongoing needs with our missions partners and updates on their activities are available on the partners’ websites, in their newsletters, and from Darren Miller via missions@gecovenant.org. Missions partner newsletters share not only updates but also often have amazing stories of God’s work, experiences He brings people through, and His faithfulness and provision. Let Darren know if you would like to be added to the newsletter distribution list. Contact Diane Brown to be added to the GE COV Prayer Letter, which includes specific items for prayer for our missionaries.
