ST. MICHAEL'S
Our Mission


With the grand opening of the Community Clothing Closet in July of 2004, St. Michael's began a new program of community service and outreach.  This ministry collects clean and gently used clothes and shoes, and once a month distributes them to those in need.

Weekly Benevolence offerings at St. Michael's support a variety of organizations and efforts outside of our church, including:

    * Our Church's Wider Mission (OCWM)
    * Seminaries
    * Lifelink (Bensenville)
    * Northwest DuPage Walk-in Ministry (Food Pantry)
    * Metropolitan Family Services DuPage
    * PADS
    * WAYS
    * Moms in School
    * Lazurus House
    * Winfield Township Pastor's Fund

Each month we collect various food and non-food items for Feeding Northwest DuPage, which operates four food pantries in northwest DuPage county.   Members from St. Michael's UCC serve as board members and volunteers at both Feeding Northwest DuPAge and PADS.

In addition to the OCWM giving, which supports the efforts of the Illinois Conference and the United Church of Christ in the national setting, our congregation also supports four special UCC offerings:

    * Strengthen the Church
    * One Great Hour of Sharing
    * Neighbors in Need
    * Christmas Fund

We are committed to sharing our resources...along with sharing God's love and peace.
