Thursday May 31 we need 15 volunteers to serve at A Just Harvest….
(from 5PM to 7PM). We will be partnering with St. Paul’s church – their volunteers are headed up by Linda Patton (former WAUCC member), will be providing the food and we will provide approximately 10 servers. Also if each server/volunteer could bring some fruit with them if possible (10 to 20 apples, bananas, pears, etc.) that would be most helpful. Please contact Roland Dehne at 773 561-8458 or 773 308-5400 or the church office to sign up and answer any questions. We will have the 5th Thursday of the month in and we will be with St. Paul’s Church.

On Sunday June 17th, the Wellington YouthGroup will be leaving for their first summer service trip. We will be making the 7 hour drive from Wellington Ave to St. Germain, Wisconsin to work with the fine folks at Moon Beach Camp in St. Germain, Wisconsin.

At this time, I am expecting anywhere from 5-15 teens to be joining us, so I am looking for at least two vans or one 15 passenger van rental.

If you have access to either of these things – or know someone who might and can cut us a deal – please contact me at your soonest convenience.

In other words, HOOK IT UP!  for Jesus. :)     Thanks.     peace,

My Kind of Town
World Premiere
by John Conroy | directed by Nick Bowling

For nearly 20 years, John Conroy has covered the Chicago police torture scandal as a journalist, becoming one of the leading voices drawing public

attention to the allegations. His two decades probing the halls of power and reporting on ruined lives culminate in this groundbreaking new drama.  Stories inspired by victims, police officers, prosecutors, and families whose lives have been poisoned by the scandal are interwoven into a thoughtful and passionate examination of corruption, responsibility, and the culture of law and order.
