Thank You From The Peace Blood Drive 
Thank you to all who donated or attempted to donate blood at the Peace Blood Drive.  Donors generously gave 18 pints to benefit patients in our area hospitals.  With $22 pledged for each pint, our next West Suburban Feed My Starving Children MobilePack event will receive $396 -- enough to feed 1,800 starving, malnourished children!  
And a resounding thank you to Dave Ullman for all his work on organizing this event. The next blood drive will be held in about six months. See you then!

Lenten Series 2019
Lenten Services begin at 7:15 pm on Wednesday nights.

March 20:   Treason

Step into the courtroom once again in the next service in our Convicted worship series, in which a different biblical person from the story of Christ's passion and death is on trial in each service, accused of an actual crime. In this week's service, we will look at the case against Judas on the charge of treason, a betrayal of trust against authority.
