Invitation  to  Faith:  Christian  Formation  for  Children  

Portrait of Former Senior Minster  

All  of  our  Senior  Ministers,  since  1918,  have  been  commemorated  with  painted  portraits  which  are  hung  in  Rowell  Hall.  A  portrait  of  Rev.  Verlee  A.  Copeland  is  being  created  and  it  is  planned  to  be  presented  to  the  congregation  on  Sunday,  

June  5,  2011  Rev.  Copeland  and  her  family  will  attend  the  presentation.    

The  cost  of  the  portrait  is  being  provided  by  individuals  and  is  not  a  Union  Church  budget  item.  

We  look  forward  to  bringing  her  portrait  to  the  congregation.    

Ad  Hoc  Portrait  Committee  members:  Irv  Clarke,  Hadley  Pihl  and  Joyce  Skoog  

Have Faith, End Hunger Jesus  said,  ‘Feed  my  lambs.’    John  21:15  

 The  stereotypical  way  of  providing  food  assistance  to  hungry  people  in  developing  countries  was  to  ship  large  bags  of  corn,  wheat,  rice,  and  other  food  stuffs.    This  is  still  done  where  there  is  an  emergency  such  as  the  earthquake  in  Haiti.    However,  Bread  for  the  World,  and  other  agencies,  found  that  this  method  of  solving  the  hunger  crisis  is  not  effective.    Bags  of  food  could  lie  rotting  in  the  holds  of  ships  or  corrupt  officials  could  apprehend  the  food  and  then  sell  it.    Not  only  were  these  typical  happenings,  it  was  

discovered  that,  without  involvement  of  the  hungry  people  themselves,  help  was  only  temporary,  and  did  not  solve  long  term  problems.    Over  the  years,  new  ways  of  providing  food  have  been  developed.    Bread  for  the  World  has  effectively  persuaded  elected  officials  to  reduce  global  hunger  and  poverty  by  investing  in  the  agricultural  productivity  of  poor  farmers.    However,  more  needs  to  be  done.    This  year  Bread  for  the  World  is  campaigning  to  finish  the  work  of  transforming  U.  S.  foreign  aid  to  create  streamlined  and  more  efficient  programs.    These  programs  will:     *put  a  stronger  focus  on  reducing  poverty     *demand  clearer  accountability  on  how  aid  dollars  are  spent  and  their  results     *transform  the  U.  S.  Development  Agency     *provide  aid  that  really  meets  the  needs  and  wants  of  local  people.    Again,  Jesus  asks,  ‘Do  you  love  me?’  And  Peter  said  to  him,  ‘Lord,  you  know  everything;  you  know  that  I  love  you!’    Jesus  said  to  him,  ‘Feed  my  sheep.’  John  21:17b    Look  for  more  in  future  “Good  News”  about  how  you  can  help  Bread  have  a  successful  campaign  in  aiding  poor  farmers  in  developing  countries.  Bread  for  the  World  Sunday  will  be  May  1.

2011 Easter Offering to Benefit HCS Family Services  

The   Christian   Mission   Ministry   invites   you   to   support   the   2011   Easter   offering  recipient,  HCS  Family  Services.  HCS  is  a  compassionate  not-­‐for-­‐profit  organization  which  has  been  serving  the  residents  of  Southeast  DuPage  County  since  1937.  It  is  their   goal   to   prevent   homelessness   and   food   insecurity,   help   low-­‐income  individuals   achieve   their   dreams   of   sustained   economic   self-­‐sufficiency   and   to  create  an  improved  quality  of  life  for  themselves  and  their  families.  HCS  empowers  people   to   reach   their   goals   through   one-­‐on-­‐one   guidance,   education   and  

advocacy;   through   education   and   career   development,   parent  mentoring   and   practical   support   for   immediate  basic  needs.  Our  offering  will  support  the  “Parent  Mentor”  program  for  any  family  in  their  service  area  wanting  to   improve   their   parenting   skills.   The   Parent   Mentor   Program   empowers   and   strengthens   the   family   unit   by  cultivating  parental  coping  skills.  Families  supported  through  mentoring  can  be  helped  to  develop  new  ways  to  perceive  and  respond  to  stressful  situations,  and  new  ways  to  effectively  parent  their  children,  thereby  reducing  the  risk  of  child  neglect.        If   you   have   any   questions   or   comments   about   this   year's   offering   please   feel   free   to   contact   Barb   Early,   HCS  Family  Services’  liaison,  from  the  Mission  Ministry.

Seder  Celebration  and  Meal  Sunday,  April  17  at  3:00  p.m.  

 On  Palm  Sunday,  members  are  invited  to  share  a  Seder  meal  together.  What  is  a  Seder?    A  Seder  is  the  Jewish  Passover  meal  which  commemorates  the  delivery  of  the  Israelites  from  slavery  in  Egypt.    The  Passover  is  both  an  actual  meal  and  a  sacramental  meal.    The  Seder  service  takes  place  annually  in  the  home,  on  the  first  two  nights  of  Passover.    The  foods  eaten  are  symbols  of  spiritual  truths  and  past  events.    The  event  itself  is  an  “intergenerational”  learning  experience.    Even  in  the  earliest  days,  the  Passover  meal  was  planned  as  a  family  gathering,  a  time  when  young  and  old  would  gather  around  the  table  and  hand  down  faith  and  tradition  from  one  generation  to  the  next.      All  –  young  and  old,  members  and  friends  –  are  invited  to  come  together  to  share  this  special  meal  and  celebration  at  3:00  p.m.,  April  17.    If  you  are  planning  on  attending  please  let  Jeremy  Hylen  know,  so  we  know  how  much  food  to  prepare  and  how  many  places  at  the  table  to  set.

dress  like?    When  was  the  last  time  you  REALLY  dressed  up?    Join  us  on  April  14  for  Dresses  through  the  Decades.    Presenters  Ruth  Thomas  and  Chloe  Berg  will  discuss  fashion  and  women's  dresses  through  the  years,  presenting  items  from  their  vast  collections  of  clothing  and  accessories.    Women's  Association  invites  everyone  to  join  us  for  a  morning  of  reminiscing  and  learning  about  fashion!        

Thursday,  April  14  at  9:30  am,  in  Rowell  Hall.  

 

 

               Each  year,  local  families  and  businesses  generously  donate  new  and  gently  used  children's  clothing,  coats,   furniture,   toys,   strollers,   car   seats,   and  maternity  wear   for   the   sale.     Proceeds   benefit   the  UCECP  Scholarship  Fund  for  families  in  need.    Please   join   in   this   special   fundraising   event   to   help   children   attend   our   widely   recognized   and  NAECY-­‐accredited  preschool,  and  to  help  meet  our  shared  goal  of  ministering  to  the  needs  of  the  whole  human  family.      You   can   help   by   donating   items   to   the   sale,   volunteering   your   time,   or   shopping   at   Petite  Repeat.     Donations   will   happily   be   accepted   starting   April   25   (receipts   will   be   available).     To  volunteer,  contact  Kristen  Ashby  at  TLFR36@comcast.net.
