Life at Faith | Ministry Celebration on May 31

Meals for Susan

We want to continue to support Susan, Les, and Grace during Susan's recovery. Susan has asked for some meals between now and the end of May. They would love for you to stay and enjoy the meal with them, if you are able.

Please note:  they LOVE meat and vegetables - dessert is not necessary.  They are light eaters, so consider portion sizes.  An option might be to take one/freeze one. If you are unable to drive the meal to their home, please drop off at church on Sunday morning and inform a member of the Care Team so we can deliver on your behalf.

Celebrating Another Year of Tiger Breakfast

And that's a wrap!! Another successful year of Tiger Breakfast is in the books. This past year, we have had increased participation from the student volunteers, who were phenomenal in their roles of assisting with set up, making pancakes, cleaning up and breaking down tables. We are so appreciative of their hard work and enthusiasm!!
 
Approximately 165 students each week x 29 Wednesdays in the school year (minus breaks and test days) equals about 4,785 student breakfasts!!
 
We continue to be so grateful for our partnership with Wheaton Warrenville South High School!

Summer Schedule

Summer Schedule

We start our summer schedule on May 24th! This means that the worship service will begin at 10:00 am. 

May 17 is the last day of Sunday School for all ages and Young Children and Worship. We will continue to offer a Summer Sunday School program during worship in place of YCW. 

Our summer schedule runs until Fall Kickoff on September 13.

Summer Sunday School

Sign up to help teach ONE Summer Sunday School Lesson

Summer Sunday School takes the place of Young Children and Worship during the summer months for children ages 4-6. Each year we ask for volunteers to teach ONE Sunday during the summer. It is taught during the worship service after the children’s message time. All materials are prepared, and it is easy to teach. Contact Wendy Smith (peterwendysmith@gmail.com) for more information or to volunteer.

We Want You!

We Want You!

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes during Sunday worship? Faith's Media Ministry plays a vital role in helping our church worship experience run smoothly—and we’d love for you to join us! 

Opportunities include:

  • Running sound during services
  • Operating the livestream
  • Using ProPresenter to display worship lyrics and sermon slides

Volunteers can be mature middle school students through adults. No previous experience is necessary—just a willingness to learn, an appreciation of technology, and a heart to serve. We'll teach you everything you need to know.

There are flexible ways to serve by joining either a regular monthly rotation or volunteering as an "on-call" alternate when needed.

If you’re interested in helping or would like more information, contact ben@faithecc.org

Come be part of a ministry connecting people to life in Christ and community--in our sanctuary and around the world.
