EXODUS REFUGEE WELCOME TO AMERICA PACK
We are filling the house!
August 17 to September 17
Members: In partnership with Exodus World Service, FUMC’s Outreach Team has challenged the entire church to provide kitchen, bath, bedroom, cleaning items, food items and other essential supplies for a new refugee family or individual. We have  recently learned that Our Welcome to America pack will be going to a Syrian family of 8:  Mother, Father, twin boys age 11, daughter age 13, son age 14, son age 20 and daughter age 21. Our Welcome Pack delivery will take place on Monday, September 25. Contact the Outreach team or Katy Hansen if you can help deliver.

 

STEP OUT AGAINST HUNGER!
Niles-Park Ridge CROP Hunger Walk is Sunday, October 15
Messiah Lutheran Church at 1605 Vernon Avenue, Park Ridge, will host this year’s edition of the Niles-Park Ridge Crop Hunger Walk, and it’s happening on Sunday, October 15 with a rally at 1:30 and step-off at 2:00 pm. Join with walkers from all across the community as we walk a three mile route to raise funds to fight hunger, globally through Church World Service, and locally through our Maine Township Emergency Food Pantry. Our FUMC CROP Walk team is forming, and you can sign up to walk and/or make a donation in support of a walker. Look for more information from your Outreach Ministry in the weeks to come, including the schedule for our restaurant fundraisers!
