We know that this is the time of year when everyorganization is asking for donations. Well the DGFUMC college scholarship fund is doing the same thing. What is the scholarship fund and who is helped by it? Three separate funds were started over 20 years ago and those gifts have now been used up, however we continue to want to help college students. In August, we present small gifts to 4 students who have been active in ministries of DGFUMC. If each family would give $5 in honor of each of their children now and $5 on that child’s birthday, we would have thousands of dollars to give out each year. Please consider giving to this fund.
Holiday Cheer is for the families and chidren of Andrew's Answer, the Children's Ministry program of UCRP. These are the children that we work with during our summer mission trips to UCRP and through Jenny Kirkpatrick's Girl Scout Gold project. We need 10 youth and at least 2 parents to help. (we need the parents to drive) We will be serving dinner, helping with crafts and games and handing out gifts! You will be on your way home by 8:30.

United Church of Rogers Park, 1545 W. Morse Ave, Chicago, IL 60626
