Nearly every year Pong Javier coordinates delivery of Christian Education resources to churches in the Philippines. Last week Pong picked up 9 containers of extra Sunday school supplies, curricula, CDs and books from Trinity. For many years Christine Truxell, Pat Arce and Jacki Bogolia have been sorting, storing and packing materials to be recycled or reused in this ministry.
Pong (Aquilo) Javier is Lay Leader at Cosmopolitan United Church in Melrose Park, Chair of the NIC Older Adult Ministries, and Past President of the National Association of Filipino American United Methodists. We are grateful for his ministry and exemplary stewardship of these valuable resources.
Thank you to everyone who collected food items in December. One load of food was delivered to the Mt. Prospect food pantry on December 8th and another 100+ items were delivered on January 3rd. Food is needed all year long, so keep bringing nonperishable food to church and put them in the blue bin in the narthex.
Trinity so generously gave items to put into boxes donated by Barbara Nicpon and shipped 113 12×12 boxes for the month of December! There were 1,700 pounds of donations, and $1,497 in donations was collected for postage. Current need: 2023 calendars. Collection basket is under the sign up table in the narthex.
