“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?" |
“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen...
Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter-- when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?" -Isaiah 58:6-7 |
Once a month, our church has "Service Sabbath". This is a day that we provide a Sabbath blessing to the community. On this Sabbath, we meet at the church at 10:00am, organize into groups, and do community service projects. All our welcome!
This winter, we plan to collect winter clothes and accessories, basic hygiene and care products, and non-perishable foods to pass out to the migrants that are being housed at the Chicago police stations. We would also have a portable stove and make some hot meals at the location.
Email us at northbrook.sda@gmail.com if you would like to join us and/or donate!
Day of Schedule
10:00 am - Meet at the Church
10:30 am - Groups Leave for Volunteering
1:30 pm - Groups Return to Church & Potluck
2:30 pm - Vespers
