►  Areas which are encompassed under the Member Care Cabinet:

Flower delivery: Iris Henderson (847/823-1828) develops a schedule of volunteers who deliver the altar flowers to members who are hospitalized, in nursing homes or who are confined to their homes. She also sees that the Easter lilies and Pentecost geraniums are delivered to many people following those special services. I'm sure she would be happy to have additional flower delivery people.

Home Visitors: Nancy Olson works with the people who regularly visit our home bound members and take communion to them. Anyone interested should contact Nancy (847/825-6659)  

Dinner by Member Care: while you are in the hospital, recovering from an illness or after you have baby the Member Care Cabinet would like to provide a dinner for your family. The process is easy:
1.  Complete the menu selection form, (click here or pick one up at the church office)
2.  Return it to church by scanning and emailing; bringing it to the church office or by calling the church office with your selections (847-825-6659)
All we ask is that you give us 2—3 days notice. We hope you feel better soon.

Prayer Chain: Prayer requests may be made through the pastors or Nancy Olson.  BethAnn Lynch (847/698-9783, e-mail ) sends out the prayer requests to other members of the prayer chain. If you are interested in joining the prayer chain to pray for others please contact Nancy.

Prayer Card Ministry
This ministry is accomplished by those whose creative bent is making greeting cards. These cards are sent to members of the congregation who are ill, who have lost a loved one, or to let people know that our congregation is thinking about them. Anyone is invited to join the group. For more information contact Amy Burrows via

Prayer Shawl Makers:
Anyone who knits or crochets is invited to make a prayer shawl to be given to a member in need of special prayer. This may include someone who is hospitalized or recovering from an illness, a shut-in, or at the time of baptisms or graduations. Kits with yarn are available at church for anyone who is interested in knitting or crocheting a prayer shawl. Please contact BethAnn Lynch at 847-698-9783 or
for directions to make these lovely gifts.

Prayer Shawl Ministry Gathering
The Prayer Shawl gatherings are scheduled for 7:00 in the evening on the third Tuesday of each month except for December. Thanks to all who have provided prayer shawls. Over 490 shawls have been made and delivered. MANY THANKS!!
