Caring Hearts – Faithful Servants

Why join a small group?  Think of the last group that you really enjoyed.  What was it like?  Didn’t you get to know others really well?  Didn’t you work together on a common, meaningful project?  Didn’t you develop skills you hadn’t known you had?  A ChristCare group is organized around a common purpose, or a shared circumstance, or a simple desire to be a group.  The activities of the group are structured to build community, to stimulate spiritual growth, and to develop and use personal gifts and skills in outreach and service to others.  Want to join one?  Contact Chip Kyle, Karen Tobin, or Dan Spike at 847-381-0975,  if you want more information or are interested in starting or joining a ChristCare small group.

July 4th FlagsCome Join the Barrington July 4 Parade!    ^top

The 2005 Barrington Area CROP WALK Committee invites you and your friends to join us in marching in the Barrington 4th of July parade. The parade steps off at 10:00 a.m. from the Barrington High School parking lot. We plan to have a grocery cart brigade and can use lots of cart pushers and kazoo blowers. Please arrive at 8:30 a.m. so we can practice. It will be fun and remind our communities that the 2005 CROP WALK will be held this year on Sunday, October 16.
Please contact Barbara Schwartz.

Relay for Life Update:

Dear Church Family—

Thank you for your support for the Barrington Relay for Life. It was a resounding success, raising $356,000 toward the fight against cancer.

Our church team raised a little over $1000 (so far); Cathy, Heather & Stacy Layne, and Tia Franklin stayed out all night on the track; and many of you were out representing other teams.

For next year, I am looking to get 4 adults to join the walk for the graveyard shift (rather than 3 children and 1 adult); to encourage our church family make their contributions to the Relay through our church team(s); and to have our cancer survivors (including those battling it now) join us for the survivor events at the track. It is quite a moving experience, and a touching way to remember those who have battled cancer.

Please do contact me with ideas and suggestions for next year’s Relay. There is no better way to get out the word that our church is truly a blessing!

Love, Mari Franklin

Make Hunger HistoryOffering of Letters   ^top

This year's Offering of Letters is a call upon Congress and the President to recommit to cutting U.S. food insecurity in half by 2010, and to commit to ending hunger by 2015. The legislation will also strengthen grassroots anti-hunger groups across the nation and promote research to show us how to best improve our national programs to effectively serve people in need. The Offering of Letters is an annual advocacy activity of Bread for the World and other anti-hunger organizations. Participation in the Offering of Letters has been endorsed by the Mission Committee and the Session of the Presbyterian Church of Barrington.

Official Registration is in May but you may register now by contacting Becky Bosarge.  Click here for complete details.

Disciple I:  Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study is a 34 week study giving equal time to both the Old and New Testaments.

Disciple II:  Into the Word, Into the World, is a 32 week study for graduates of Disciple I.  This study takes us back to Genesis, Exodus, Luke, and Acts so that we may learn Bible study skills that take the participants deeper into Scripture, connect our inner and outer life, and develop the practice of spiritual disciplines.

Both classes will be offered on Saturday mornings at 8:00 a.m. (or earlier).
Cost for both:  $60.00 (plus a coffee and pastry fund!)
