Grace

This week in Sunday School the children are learning about God’s joy. We will explore “joy” in worship next week.

We are in need of Sunday school volunteers for the following dates: July 6 and 20 and August 3 and 31. Sign up on the bulletin board downstairs or talk with Pastor Ryan.

Justice with Grace will meet this Sunday, June 29, following our worship service at 12:00 noon. We will be meeting with a small group from Iglesia del Pacto, our Spanish speaking sister congregation. We want to begin developing a relationship with them to explore ways of addressing local issues of justice together, and to also discern if small groups from each of our congregations would like to take part in a process called Invitation to Racial Righteousness later this fall. Contact Curt Roeschley at 773-283-4273 or croeschley@juno.com if you have any questions, or if you are planning to come and need child care.

Leonid and Leanna Regheta, missionaries to Russia, will be speaking this Sunday, June 29. The Missions Committee will be hosting a light luncheon after the service at the NLMH for those wishing to speak further with the Reghetas. Space is limited, so please sign up by Saturday night with Stephanie Goldvarg at 773-727-4850.

Grace provides a daily devotional called the Home Altar. It is produced quarterly by the Covenant. Copies of the new devotional for July – Sept. are available in the literature rack.

Youth Group: Come celebrate Canada Day, July 1 @ Pastor Ryan’s place (5459 N Spaulding Ave-off Catalpa) from 7-9 pm. Wear red and white and we’ll do a lot of Canadian things – like drink venison slurpies and race dog sleds (or maybe not)- but whatever it is, it will be cool.

The Scripture reading for Sunday, June 22, will be Luke 6:27-36. Rev. Ryan Johnson will be preaching with a sermon titled ‘The Love Weigh and the Love Way’.

There will be a work morning Saturday, June 21, 9 am to 12 noon. We would like to get a lot of outside work done, as well as install AC in the NLMH, and other odds and ends. We also need some muscle to move some furniture. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Please RSVP to Steve Brown, 773-447-5600.
