MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY EVENT!

“BELOVED COMMUNITY”

MONDAY, JANUARY 18, 10:00 a.m.

In conjunction with the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Elmhurst, we are partnering to present an MLK Forum, which will be available on Zoom. The guest speaker is Rev. Robert E. Buckner, II.

Rev. Buckner is an excellent scholar, author, and speaker. He is currently serving as Associate Pastor to Young Adults at Covenant United Church of Christ in South Holland, Illinois.

This Forum will be presented with the hopes that our Faith Community United Church of Christ will continue to be aware of and educate others about Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream of a society based on justice, equal opportunity, and LOVE for fellow human beings.

LET US BE UNITED AS A COMMUNITY OF FAITH.

Pastor Catherine Retires August 30, 2020

After 9 years we were sad to say goodbye to Pastor Catherine, but sent her off with best wishes for her future endeavors.

It was great to have her family join us so we could say goodbye to them also!

Several who were unable to attend the worship service drove by to say farewell.

Sunday School Luncheon

Timm Carr, Steve and Pastor Balk were “climbing to new heights” at Vertical Endeavors on October 16^th with the high school members

Crossroads Kids Club at Tioga – One-by-one they arrive at the school – laden with curriculum notebooks – ready to show their identification – allowed to enter the fortress exactly at 3:00 pm – coming with one purpose in mind – to share the love of God and the Good News of Jesus Christ with the Tioga Wolves! (That’s the Tioga Elementary mascot – the Wolves). Our first afternoon of Crossroads Kids Club was a success! Thirty-five 3^rd-5^th grade students attended with 11 volunteer mentor/teachers from Faith Community. The next week we were gifted with forty-five young people with a potential of fifty-four kids with completed sign-up sheets!! Thank God for the growth!! With awesome Bible storytelling, science projects, praying, singing, crafts, dancing, games, treats, and prizes, our Faith Community crusaders are prevailing even over the offers by parents of “Either soccer or Kids Club!”

Energized by compassion, commitment, and craziness – this team will continue telling the story of God’s Love every Wednesday during the school year – until the last Wolves shall lie down with the lambs!
