Happy Father’s Day! “The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him.” (Proverbs 20:7 NKJV)

Summer Retreat: Our summer retreat will be next week June 21-23 at Judson University in Elgin. The church building will be closed on June 23, but please join us at Judson for service (Creekside South Building) if you aren’t already with us at the retreat. An information sheet with map and instructions will be sent out via e-mail this week. (Copies are also available at the welcome booth in the Lobby.)

Demographic Survey: The Congregational Identity Committee is gathering demographic information to get a better handle on who our members are. Please take the survey at https://tinyurl.com/EnglishCongSurvey. It is mobile phone friendly, but please don't let it distract you from worshiping today! Paper copies and a computer version will be available in the lobby after the service. If you participated in the NCD survey in May, this one gathers different data and we ask that you take this one as well. Thanks for your help.

Missions Spotlight: The NSCCC Short Term Missions Team is preparing to serve July 14-20 at a family camp for about 60 students ages 5-15. This will be our ninth year serving at this area in the Far East. Our team of ten, including Kristin Shau, Alex Dong, Michelle Chen, Sylvia Chen, Elijah Leong, Shawn Yu, and Helen Yu is preparing. Please pray for their ongoing training and visit the “Sign up for STM Support” at the lobby table.

Gardeners wanted for the Church Landscaping Project: This past fall, incorporating input from church members and children’s ministry, a landscape plan was prepared for the circular island in front of the church parking lot.  The plan included planting new serviceberry trees, a washed gravel rain garden, spring bulbs, and children’s planting area in front.  We invite further participation from any of our church ministry programs or members interested in contributing time for planting, watering or helping maintain the garden, and be part of the Garden Team!  We aim to make it a fun way to serve the church.   Please contact Nelson Chueng for more details.
