This Sunday: Worship in the Park

During the hot summer months, we will move our worship to the beauty of the Irene Hernandez picnic area at 4498 W Foster Ave on the 2nd and 4th Sundays. We meet on the far end of the parking lot on the left side. Look for the signs. We need someone to bring supplies back to church tomorrow after the service. Contact Tom if you can help. Upcoming Sundays in the park:

June 28
July 12
July 26
August 9

This Sunday: Sodom, Sex, & Lot's Wife
We have an ambitious agenda of topics for this Sunday's worship, and we will try to touch on some issues that are urgent both to us personally as well as for the whole church. It is Pride Sunday in Chicago, and our reading will focus on Genesis 19:12-26, the story of Sodom and of Lot's wife. We will livestream worship. The bulletin is here.

This Sunday: Youth Service Learning Trip Commissioning
Seven of our teens will be heading to Indianapolis for a week of service and learning starting this Sunday. We will be praying for them at the end of the service. Please pray for Byron, Darwin, Elijah, Josh, Angel, Emily, and Sasha, along with chaperones Marleni, Michael, and Tom. (See below for some pics from last summer's trip.)

Father’s Day & Chili Cookoff
Thank you to all of this year's chefs for their amazing chili: Carol Michaels, Michael Murphy, Lois Jones, Eric Jones, Debbie Albano, and this year's chili champion - Carmen Olaya!

Men's Breakfast & Bible Discussion - Tomorrow 9am
We're bringing back the Saturday men's breakfast group tomorrow morning downstairs. All men are welcome to join us from 9am-10:30am. Eggs, bacon, fruit, juice, coffee and coffee cakes are on the menu. We start cooking right at 9 so come to the kitchen and join in. We hope many of you can join us.

June is Gun Violence Awareness Month
Wear orange this month in solidarity with families victimized by gun violence. Contact our partner agency, Israel's Gifts of Hope, for other ways to help end gun violence. We thank them for adorning our front bush with memorial ribbons.

ICE in Albany Park
ICE agents are continuing to be active in our neighborhood, and have abducted several neighbors in recent weeks. Please remember to carry whistles with you to alert neighbors who might be targeted. If you are interested in joining a Rapid Response Team in this neighborhood, talk to Rhoda or Tom.

Rides & Meals Needed

We have several families going through difficult times, who would appreciate help with meals and rides. If you are available to help, please contact Eric Jones or Lois Jones or Tom.

Summer Camp for 3rd-8th Graders

There are still openings some weeks for an incredible five days of summer camp for 3rd-8th graders. Lutherdale Camp has welcomed hundreds of children from our church, and many counselors as well. We currently have four campers lined up (Rex, Tallulah, Keiver, and Jhonny), and would love to send more for a week of camping, growing, making friends, climbing the tower, canoeing the lake, fishing, and having an overall great time! We give scholarships to all attenders. Talk to Tom or sign up today.

Holy Communion

We share Holy Communion on the 1st and 3rd Sundays. All who wish to follow Jesus are welcome.
