April UNITE Fundraiser Basket

This month's UNITE fundraiser basket is themed around the idea of "Give Thanks to The Lord." It includes a devotional coloring book, willow tree figurine, crumble cookie gift card, journals, and much more. The basket and a full list of its contents can be viewed in the narthex. Bidding will close at the beginning of service on Sunday, April 28th. This basket could just be the perfect gift for mother's day. All funds raised will go towards sending NaperCov's high school students to the UNITE Youth Conference.

Women's Bible Study Meets Tuesdays at 9:30am

Women's Bible Study has resumed and is meeting every Tuesday morning at 9:30am in the Fellowship Hall. They are currently studying Lisa Harper's How Much More: Discovering God's Love in Unexpected Places. For more information, please contact Kathy Buettner.

Adopt a Resident at The Pearl

The volunteer team that leads weekly services at The Pearl Nursing Home is asking NaperCov congregants to consider "adopting" a resident for a year. This would involve meeting with the resident one or two times per month to provide them with social interaction. These visits can be as long or short as you wish and can involve conversations, games, food, music, or whatever else you'd like. There will also be some bigger group events where all the families and residents would get together once or twice during the year.  We're currently hoping to have ten more individuals/families sign up to adopt a resident. If you're interested in signing up, use the QR code or this link. If you have any questions, contact David Sladkey.

Meal Train for Francine Vieceli

There has been a meal train set up for Francine Vieceli, who will be returning home from an extended hospital/rehab stay on April 18th. While Francine continues to improve, she would greatly benefit from having meals provided for her for a couple of weeks. You can sign up to provide a meal using this link. Please be sure to read the section about Francine's current dietary restrictions as well as the section with instructions for delivery. If you have any questions, please contact Kathy Buettner.

UNITE Fundraising Workdays on April 20th and June 1st

To fundraise for the UNITE Youth Conference, NaperCov's youth will be hosting two workdays on April 20th and June 1st. The youth will be available to help congregants with tasks, projects, or lawn work. The goal is to fundraise enough to fully fund two students going to UNITE (formerly CHIC), which would require an average donation of $50/hour per squad. There will be two squads, each consisting of between three to four students and one adult. Both squads will have roughly four work slots for each day: 8am-10am, 10:30am-12:30pm, 1pm-3pm, and 3:30pm-5:30pm. For more information, please reach out to Greg Johnson via email or text at ‭(630) 967-4659‬. 

April Bake Sale Fundraiser for UNITE

We're changing up the structure of our bake sale fundraiser for UNITE. We will be taking orders for baked good through Tuesday, April 23rd. The items will then be available to be picked up at church the following Sunday, April 28th. If you need help with delivery or are unable to pick up your order that Sunday, Pastor Josiah will deliver to the destination. This month, you can order either a dozen brownies and/or a dozen chocolate crinkle cookies. We are asking for $15/dozen items, however—in the effort to encourage kindness—the price is discounted to $12/dozen if the items are being given as a gift to a friend/neighbor. Please place your orders here or in person with Pastor Josiah by Tuesday, April 23rd.
