Celebrating New Life

March 29, 2013 - 9:44am

In the 19th century, when it was established that life had begun in the oceans, some scientists reasoned that the earliest forms of life might still be there, hidden in the deep, dark depths of the ocean. Folks thought that there in that world of darkness lay the first forms of life. They even had a name for that oceanic nursery; they called it "Urschleim," choosing a German name to give it scientific respectability.

Gifts of Hope and Healing

March 14, 2013 - 8:35am

Easter Offering

On Sunday, March 31, we will worship with full hearts, proclaiming to the world that “Christ is alive!”  Easter is a wondrous celebration of Christ’s Resurrection and the promise of eternal life. And it is a time to remember that Jesus came to heal and provide hope to all.

Each year we invite our congregation to help carry out this mission of hope and healing by participating in our Special Easter Offering which funds the Rainbow Covenant giving of the DGFUMC Missions Work Area. Your Easter gifts will make a critical difference in the lives of individuals in northern Illinois, as well as in national and global United Methodist missions programs.

Jesus calls us to bring healing and restoration wherever we can.  Let us celebrate Christ this year with even greater passion and live out our calling together.

Spring Tea - Quilt Stories

The Annual Spring Tea will be held on Saturday, April 6th from 2 to 4 pm in the church gym.

We will enjoy tea and refreshments (including tea sandwiches and chocolate fountains!) as we celebrate quilts. Chris Hudson will talk about how she creates beautiful quilts. We will have quilts on display from many of the talented quilters in our congregation. If you have a quilt you would like to share with us, bring it along and tell your story. Attendees will decorate fabric squares which will be made into a commemorative quilt, and we will have special activities for children.

Bring your friends with you for an afternoon of fun and fellowship. Tickets, which are $15 for adults and $8 for those 12 and under, will be available Sunday mornings in the parlor beginning March 10th.

Proceeds from this year’s tea will benefit the Worship Work Area and the Guatemala Connection group.

If you have a teapot or two you would be willing to lend us, please let us know.

If you have questions or need more information, please contact Andi Kinsella or Nancy Bifulco. We hope to see you there!
