Chaplain to Speak at WPIM Meeting on H1N1
Dr. John Wilson, the Chaplain at Lutheran Advocate Hospital, will speak to the members of WPIM at its noon meeting on Thursday, Oct. 15 at Hope Presbyterian Church on Wiesbrock Rd. His topic will be “The Pastoral Response of Church Communities to the H1N1 Virus (Swine Flu).” While panic is not called for, he will present some very practical suggestions about caring for our congregations and measures to be taken if indeed some of the predictions are realized. Pastor Linda Tossey of Community Baptist heard him speak and said that he is not only entertaining and interesting, but has some good information. His emphasis is on communication and care of the congregation.
Warrenville Churches Offer Volunteer Services at Johnson School
Principal Derick Edwards and Assistant Principal Jon Pilkington of Johnson School invited Pastor Jeff Kamphausen to come and introduce himself on behalf of the Warrenville churches and share our desire to increase our partnership and service at the school. The pastor was delighted to explain the different opportunities that are out there to equip and send people from within our churches to serve. The need is tremendous for all kinds of willing people who can help kids with reading and math during the day, after school with homework, or mentoring on Saturdays. He distributed a flyer for sign-ups at Johnson that each pastor can feel free to customize for their congregation.
