This fall we’ve been blessed with unusually warm and beautiful weather for this time of year. However, we know that colder temperatures and their accompanying snowfall will soon be upon us, bringing certain reminders of the full effects of winter here in Northern Illinois. As our winter weather brings not only the beautiful white snow, but also the colder temperatures of winter, let’s remember that there are many in our community who are less fortunate than ourselves as they try to stay warm in these colder months of the year. Won’t you help our brothers and sisters at PADS, and ‘Each One, Reach One’ through our Warm Ministry program by donating needed items for this important ministry? Our collection for the “Warm Ministry” will go throughout winter, and includes the following items: NEW coats, hats, gloves, long underwear & shirts, hot hand & foot inserts. We’re also collecting hygiene products such as soap, shampoo, tooth brushes & tooth paste, and laundry soap. You can place your donations in the Warm Ministry Missions Collection box in the lobby area near the TV. If you have any questions, please contact any of the members of our Mission Team. Thank you for helping those in need as we ‘Each One, Reach One’!
