Carpentersville Care Opportunity

There is a family living in Carpentersville with a mentally challenged adult daughter. She is in her mid thirties with some physical and mental disabilities. The family has been allotted funds from the government for 142 hours a month to have someone take her for some weekly outings. Nothing special, just a walk in the park or a little shopping, something to give her a change of scenery. This would be a part-time paid position. Maybe you know someone that would be interested in this opportunity.

Salvation Army's Carpentersville Satellite Office

Salvation Army's Carpentersville Satellite Office is opening this fall.

The Salvation Army will provide Spanish literacy, youth tutoring, Senior Citizen meal program and emergency assistance (food, clothing, utility and rent/mortgage).

Two other agencies will partner with us to provide their services in the Satellite Office - Literacy Connection and Centro de Informacion.

The location will be near route 25 & Lake Marian Road in the Meadowdale Mall close to the Theater. I have met with the Director Ken Nickoli and there will be lots of serving opportunities for our area. More info to come…

Christianity Today Retracts Statements on Reveal



Christianity Today and its blog "Out of Ur" retracted a number of statements they made months back about Willow Creek and our conclusions from the REVEAL study. There has been much mis-information spread about Willow Creek and the REVEAL findings. Earlier this month I posted a youtube.com video where Jim Mellado interviewed Bill Hybels in regards to this mis-information.
As Christians it is aways great to see followers of Christ admit mistakes and humbly try to reach people for Christ. I think both Willow Creek and Christianity Today are doing that!!
