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


SIGN OUR MINISTRY PARTNER CHRISTMAS LETTERS!

Starting this Sunday, watch for our annual Ministry Partner Christmas Letter table near Higher Grounds!  Please take a moment to sign your name to offer encouragement to our ministry partners around the world.  Our partners tell us that it means so much to them to know that friends back here at GEECC are thinking about them, and praying for their families.  Last chance to sign is December 14




MEAL TRAIN OPPORTUNITY

Meal trains aren’t just about the food—they’re one of the best ways we can show love and care to our GE Covenant family. That’s why your GE Cov newsletter will now give a heads-up whenever it’s time to get that train rolling! If you’d like to jump in and help out Bob and Diane Brown with a meal, just click the link below:

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.
