We have been busy bees here at First Pres. If you have a chance, go downstairs and see our Kitchen and the PADS area! Thanks to Carolyn Selke, we have completed a reorganizing and deep cleaning of the kitchen. You won’t believe how good it looks! The first phase of the renovation of the PADS area is finished. Thanks to those who painted, sorted, disposed of unwanted items and generally everyone who lent a hand to create a beautiful, clean space to welcome our overnight guests. It looks like a totally different space.

Event Details
First Pres is one of many partner churches who work with Journeys | The Road Home, a non-profit that advocates for those experiencing homelessness in the Northwest suburbs. The PADS program provides hospitality, food, and emergency shelter from October 1 through April 30 of each year.
The First Pres PADS site is staffed by volunteers every Tuesday night October through April. Volunteers prepare and offer dinner, breakfast, and a sack lunch, all in a welcoming, supportive, safe environment. Monetary and food donations are needed each week as well as volunteers to staff each of the three shifts (6:00 pm -11:00 pm; 11:00 pm-3:00 am; 3:00 am -7:00 am). A dedicated team of volunteers also assists with Wednesday morning clean-up. For more information contact [email protected].

Children’s Ministries is sponsoring an all-ages Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 19, from 10:00 to 11:00 am. We will begin in Fellowship Hall and separate children by age group before the hunting begins so each group will have their own area to search for eggs in the Christian Education wing and Gym.
Bring your Easter basket to hunt for eggs and get some delicious treats! You may even find the GOLDEN EGG!
A light breakfast of donuts, fruit, veggies, yogurt, bagels, juice and coffee will be served. Allergen-friendly treats will be available.
Please register using the link below. We hope to see you there!
