Please Save Your Coupon Inserts

If, like me, you just toss your newspaper coupon inserts into the recycling bin, please bring them to church instead. A couple of "extreme couponers" from Downers Grove painstakingly clip and collate coupons, then go through store ads to get the best bargains. They donate all of their bounty to the People's Resource Center in Westmont. This week alone, they brought in 50 deodorants, 22 bottles of shampoo, and more!

To help them with this mission, please bring your coupon inserts to the box by the PRC collection bin outside the church office. Thanks!

Bucket Sundays

Spring is here and it is time for spring cleaning as well as our Church and Society Work Area's annual cleaning supply drive for the PRC!

We will be handing out buckets on April 15 and 22. We ask you to take a bucket and fill it with cleaning supplies. Each bucket will have a list of suggested supplies in it. Please return the filled buckets to the church by Sunday, April 29.

Thank you for your support!

Thank You, Jewel Shoppers

Thank you for making the effort to bring your stickers to the church office so that UMW/Sarah circle could buy pots and pans. You may have only had a few to share, but all of them combined, a little over 920, bought a lot of pots and pans. We were able to buy for eleven cents- 5 stock pots and 6 frying pans. The Peoples Resource Center will be delighted to receive our donation.

Thanks again, on behalf of UMW/Sarah circle.

Souper Bowl Sunday

Yes, we know it is Super Bowl Sunday on February 6, but our church will be celebrating Souper Bowl Sunday on January 30 and February 6.

We will be collecting money for the People’s Resource Center after all three services that morning. We will have soup pots labeled with the two teams playing in the Super Bowl. Choose your team, the Packers or the Steelers, and put your contribution in their pot. We will see how well our congregation can predict the winner of the game. No matter which team wins, the PRC will benefit from all the contributions.

So start saving your change now!

Sunday, January 30, 2011 - 9:30am
