makerspace
The Maker’s Space grew out of our congregation of GEECC in 2013, and is going into our 9th year of meetings of many different people. It is a place where we welcome creativity in our lives and introduce our creative Creator to our friends in our community. It is a safe place where you and your friends will feel welcomed. This year’s sessions will focus on Creative Prayer, using art to have a conversation with God. Having a conversation with a friend requires listening as well as talking, and we will be using art as a tool in the conversation process, especially when there are no words to describe our emotions. We will explore different kinds of prayer using different art mediums.
The final session is Jan. 15, with Guest Artist Alison Tisdale Régnier “Paint your Heart Out” 5-7pm in Munson Hall

Thank you from the bischoffs
Dear Church Family,
Paul and I would like to express our gratitude for all your prayers, cards, and wonderful meals while I was recovering from my knee replacement surgery. We felt your concern, and love and care.
We feel privileged to be apart of our church family.
Thank you.
Blessings, Jayne Bischoff.
Men’s Ministry Update
Covenant Point Men's Retreat: Feb. 24-26, 2023
Each year, Covenant Point hosts a men’s retreat for Covenant Churches in the Midwest. We have had a number of men from our church attending this annual event in years past. Whether there is one, or a dozen men from our church, it has always been a great time of fellowship, worship, and learning. Please check out the link below to learn more (and register if you wish).

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM OUR DIRECTOR OF CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
Dear Glen Ellyn Covenant Church,
Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from my role as Director of Children’s Ministries. What has caused this resignation is the relocation of my family to Arizona. My last day will be Thursday, January 26th, 2023.
To ease the transition after my departure, I am happy to assist you with any training tasks during my final weeks on the job including meeting with the necessary people to make sure tasks are delegated so the children’s ministries on Sundays can continue until you are able to find my replacement.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the knowledge and experience I’ve gained by working here. I’ve felt so loved and supported by your church throughout my time here. I’m very grateful for the time I’ve spent on staff and as a congregant. It’s been a pleasure working for you, and I hope our paths will cross again in the future.
Sincerely,
Crystal N. White

Praying for Our Missions Partners
Our church supports several missionaries and local and international ministries and service agencies. The Missions Team invites you to intentionally pray for these organizations and for each of our missionaries.
Ongoing needs and opportunities with the ministries and service agencies are available from Darren Miller, via missions@gecovenant.org. Prayer requests are listed in the GE COV Prayer Letter, available from Diane Brown. For highlights and updates about our missionaries and missions partners, occasionally stop by the missions display case in the church atrium to see what’s new.
