Service & Outreach

Our church hosts Thursday evening dinners to support neighbors experiencing food insecurity in our community.

Volunteers help set up, serve, and clean up from 5:15–6:45 PM. You are welcome to serve weekly, bi-weekly, or whenever your schedule allows. See the sign-up form to get involved.

This ministry partners with other local churches to provide meals throughout the week in Downers Grove.

We also provide Grab & Go bags for Community Kitchen guests when they leave the Thursday dinner. Our Grab & Go bags provide an additional meal for the next day. Sign up using the link below to bring food items for the Grab & Go bags such as: individual foil pouches of tuna or chicken, or individual packs of trail mix, nuts, packages of cheese and crackers, and more.

The Caring Connections Callers (CCC) ministry of our church enables us to stay connected while caring and supporting for each other as we spread God’s healing and love. We welcome all to be a part of the CCC ministry.

This ministry's primary goal is to maintain intergenerational connections between members of our church family and is coordinated within the Membership Work Area.

The group welcomes new members of CCC in the fall (or any time of year) and are happy to add new people to our care list throughout the year too! Join us for the Training and Information Meeting on Sunday, September 27 at 11:15 a.m. in Chapel Hall to learn more!

The CCC ministry makes and maintains connections in a variety of ways:

• One-on-one in-person visits
• Regularly scheduled drop-off visits with seasonal bags filled with things such as a flower, a treat, prayers, and scriptural words of hope.
