Adult Education - Mission Series

Through June 23
10:45-11:45 a.m. in Stewart Hall 102-103
Missions aren’t just a function of the church. And the church isn't just the outcome of mission. Both are grounded in the
missio Dei – the mission of God. The Father sent the Son; the Father and Son sent the Spirit; and now the Spirit sends the church. During the month of June, be inspired by those who are at the forefront of being the missional church.
Childcare is provided.

For the Life of the World
Sundays, June 30-July 28
10:45-11:45 a.m. in Stewart Hall
For the Life of the World is an entertaining film series that explores the deeper aspects of the Christian faith. Have you ever wondered, “What is my Salvation actually FOR?” Is it only about getting into heaven or something that comes later? Is it just to have a “friend in Jesus?” Join Pastor Kellen and discover a new perspective, the BIGGER picture of what it means to be “in the world, not of it.”

Vacation Bible School
Thank you to the congregation for your prayers and loving support
which helped make this a Spirit-filled week for all involved.
Vacation Bible School 2019 – Thank You
We just completed an amazing week at VBS with 101 children and 39 volunteers! Together we blasted off
“To Mars and Beyond” and explored where God’s power can take us. The children learned that God is always with us and that with Him we can go beyond in life with faith, boldness, kindness, thankfulness and hope! I would like to give a special thank you to all of the volunteers who gave their time and shared God's love this past week, making this a very memorable VBS for the children. Also a special thank you to Victory Sports, who joined us this year to offer a new program for the 3rd-5th graders.
Blessings!

Service Squad 2019 – Thank you
Wow, what a great week of serving God through local mission projects with 29 amazing middle schoolers and many adult volunteers! Our church youth demonstrated ABUNDANT COMPASSION to the residents of Colony Park Apartments and Dupage Care Center. They also showed respect for God’s creation by helping out at SCARCE. Sixty homeless residents were provided with a nutritious lunch packed by us via DuPage PADS. Low Income seniors had their food sorted and organized for distribution by our kids at Humanitarian Service Project. Finally, we ended the week at We Grow Dreams helping them with special projects! Service Squad couldn’t happen without the wonderful drivers, devotional leaders, food providers and overall parent support.
God is so good!

Trinity Mission Art Inspirational Pieces by Fred Rosen
Through August 2
Artist’s Reception:
Sunday, June 30 between services, 9:45-10:45 a.m.
Trinity Mission Art was founded for the purpose of creating inspirational metal art and generating funds for charitable missions. Throughout Fred’s life, he has felt the hand of God saving and guiding him, including when he bought a plasma cutter and set up a new shop, creating inspirational pieces. He is doing what he is supposed to be doing, hopefully reaching a person in need, encouraging someone when they’re down, maybe giving them a boost when they need it, with a visual, tangible reminder.
