IT’S GO TIME!
Those of you who have been around Glen Ellyn Evangelical Covenant Church for a while probably know that while the ministries of the church are rolling throughout the year, we actually give about 40% of our annual donations in the last three months of the year!
We need $400 thousand during the 4th Quarter to meet our operating expenses for the year.
If you believe that the Spirit has been moving powerfully in our church and you know that you have been blessed, please give. The Lord is generous. He calls us to be faithful. It’s go time!
October thru December 2025
$400,000 needed

That’s why your GE Cov newsletter will now give a heads-up whenever it’s time to get that train rolling!

EXODUS WORLD SERVICE
GROCERY CARE PACKS
Exodus World Service trains and equips volunteers to welcome and befriend refugee families. After fleeing war or persecution, refugees are working hard to build new lives. Volunteers are needed to help collect Grocery Care Packs for vulnerable families who have lost food support with no clear information about when it will resume. You, your family or a group of friends can provide urgently needed groceries and an encouraging visit accompanied by Exodus staff. Sign up here to help.
