"She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy." (Proverbs 31:20, NRSV) |
Our calling is to look beyond our walls and discover how God invites us to share our faith with others. That faith sharing includes our actions as well as our words.

Here are a few of our projects, present and past.

The Community Backpack Program
We fill backpacks with food on the weekends for needy students in Des Plaines' elementary schools. Without this help, these kids might otherwise go hungry. |
Fun on the lawn! The Annual Flea Market and Craft Fair
Remember those old rummage sales? This is much better! Crafters and collectors from all over the county offer there wares for a summer afternoon of once-in-a-lifetime bargains. All proceeds from stall rentals go to charity.
