This will begin tomorrow evening October 27, at 7 PM. We will meet at our home, 5522 Lee Avenue, Downers Grove, IL 60515 for about 1 hour as we plan the work God has given us to do.
How is Soup & Salvation conducted?
Church members choose to participate in one of four core soul-winning ministries.
Each ministry focuses on a specific area. Members with similar gifts and interests join together in a specific outreach ministry at each session.
When a significant number of church members meet together on the same evening to pray, visit, distribute literature or give Bible studies, the Holy Spirit acknowledges their commitment by empowering their efforts for service.

  1. Prayer ministry
  2. Literature ministry
  3. Visitation ministry
  4. Bible study ministry

If you would like to be a part of any ministry listed you are invited to our home each Tuesday evening at 7 PM. We will provide the soup and God provides the Salvation.
Speaking of soup, The Pathfinders were out on Sabbath and Sunday collecting canned goods and other non perishables for people in need. Now that they are done it is our turn to donate.
Pat Jurinek has asked that I request everyone to bring a generous supply of non perishable food items for community services. There will be containers at each entrance this Sabbath to bring your food offering.
If you would like to assist Pat in any way or have any questions please feel free to contact her.
I hope to see you at our home tomorrow evening at 7PM!
Pastor Joe
