The Care Team is an expression of faith: a response to God’s call in
Matthew 25: 35-40.
“I tell you whenever you did this for one of the
least important of these brothers of mine,
you did it for me.” |

Food Pantry and Hunger Programs
Our church
maintains a shopping cart in our narthex everyday to collect donations
for the Dupage Township Food Pantry. A special basket collection is
taken around Thanksgiving and Easter to give many families a little
something extra to be thankful for. New Life responds to hunger and
poverty around the world by sponsoring a team for the CROP Walk in
October. Everyone can be involved in some small or big way to make a
difference.

Mary & Martha Meals
Members of
our congregation provide meals to families who are experiencing
hospitalization, prolonged illness or those suffering the loss of a
loved one. This group also provides and serves the food for funeral
luncheons. If you have a need or would like to be a provider of food,
please contact the church office.

Tutoring Program
On Tuesday
and Wednesday nights, from October through May, the church is buzzing
with students from the community. Students in 1st grade
through 8th grade can receive help with assignments or review
skills as they work one on one with an adult tutor. Our congregation
provides the tutors who have an impact on a child that may last a
lifetime. If you are interested in being a tutor or have a child that
needs a tutor, please contact the church office. |

Blood
Drive
We respond to
the community’s need for blood donations by hosting several drives
throughout the year. Donors and people interested in helping at the
event are always needed. See the monthly newsletter or Sunday bulletins
for upcoming dates. |

Care Notes
On a kiosk in
the narthex is an ever changing assortment of Care Notes. These little
booklets provide comfort and prayerful thoughts to a variety of
difficult situations faced by adults, teens and children. Stop by today
to see what’s available. |

Friends in Faith
Everyone is,
at times, in need of a faith filled friend to listen, to encourage, and
to visit with regularly. Volunteers for this new program are lay people
who extend the love of Christ from friend to friend through a ministry
of listening, friendship and caring for others. Stay tuned for the
launch of this faith filled ministry in 2009! |
