The Mission Committee is collecting emergency clean-up buckets and hygiene kits for Church World Service.

Their vision "is a world where everyone has food, voice and a safe place to call home."

The Hygiene kits cost $15-20 to assemble and the emergency clean-up buckets cost $75-100 to buy all of the items. Contributions in all amounts are welcome.

When donating by check, please add “CWS Cleanup Buckets” to the memo line. You may donate on the church website giving page by choosing “CWS Emergency Cleanup Buckets” from the drop-down menu. Tose who wish to purchase items for the kits are asked to email Pat Sage for a list of items.

Easter worship in the Sanctuary

  • Fox Valley Presbyterian Church (map)

All are welcome to our service of Scripture, sermon, prayers, and song. We will gather in celebration of Easter in the Sanctuary, 10:15 am. Come and hear glorious music as the Chancel Choir, Joyful Noise Handbell Choir, and Northside Brass take part in our worship service.

Our service also includes a special time for the children. Children begin worship in the Sanctuary and leave with teachers during the sermon time for Sunday school. They are also welcome to worship with their families in the pews. Sound is also turned on in our Gathering Space just outside the big glass doors to the sanctuary in case your child needs a little more space to move around during the service. A nursery is available for younger children if your family prefers that option.

Masks and socially distanced seating are optional.
