ST. MICHAEL'S


Members of St. Michael's UCC participated in the 2008 West Chicago CROP WALK as walkers, organizers, and contributors. Held on Spetember 28, 2008, the 81 walkers from across the community raised a total of $6,300 for Church World Service. 75% of these funds are used by Church World Service worldwide, and 25% of these funds are used locally by PADS and the Northwest DuPage Walk-in Ministry.

The Mad Monks of Melody joined us in worship on Sunday, September 28, 2008 ...filling our hearts with beautiful music.
