in the News

The newspaper article linked below ran in the Barrington Courier Review on February 1, 2007. It reflects a large outpouring of support from many of our members who donated their time and talent to the people of New Orleans on the last Mission trip. It also describes how these members built such a close and warm relationship with Pastor Cliff Nunn of the First Presbyterian Church of New Orleans, that he traveled to the Chicago area to give two sermons at our church. Another Mission team will be leaving in April for a second week of service in New Orleans.
