Diaconal Support

Small Group Leader: As we begin the year, it is helpful to remind you of the availability of the deacons to support members and attendees of Naperville Presbyterian. There may be men, women or families who could use the financial and spiritual support that comes from our diaconate.

If you have individuals or families that are requesting support from your group, the church, or have no idea where to turn, please contact our current deacon chairman, David McChristian. He can help arrange the care and resources that are needed to minister to those at NPC.

On Repentance

We need to realize that while God’s acceptance of each Christian believer is perfect from the start, our repentance always needs to be extended further as long as we are in this world. Repentance means turning from as much as you know of your sin to give as much as you know of yourself to as much as you know of your God, and as our knowledge grows at these three points so our practice of repentance has to be enlarged.

J. I. Packer, Keep in Step with the Spirit, p. 104

See You at the Pole

Finding Common Ground

One of the best books I have read on sowing the seeds of the gospel in our world, on how to engage culture in significant spiritual conversations, and moving from the sruface, to the real issues, to the gospel is this book from Tim Downs, Finding Common Ground. We have it here in the library at the church, but I woudl recommend you make space for it on your own shelves, very visible, and readily accessible for missional living and the conversations that result:

Take a look.

Feed My Starving Children

Did you know that over 16,000 children die each day from starvation?   Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is committed to feeding God's starving children hungry in body and spirit. Their approach is simple: Volunteers pack nutritious meals made up of rice, soy, vitamins and dehydrated vegetables, and FMSC partners with Christian relief organizations worldwide to distribute these meals to starving children.

FMSC is a Christian organization with a vision to reduce the number of starving children throughout the world by helping to instill compassion in a generation that hears and responds to the cries of those in need.

Naperville Presbyterian Church is pleased to partner with Feed My Starving Children by inviting you to pack with us at the FMSC packing center near the Fox Valley Mall where you can help assemble and pack meals for starving children. We need volunteers who are 3rd grade and above to pack food.  This is a great family event.  Signup yourself and family below.

The goal of the clinic is to provide medical, spiritual and other services to those in need in our immediate area – we call it community care in Christ’s name.

The clinic is part of Share the Hope, the mission’s ministry of Crossroads Community Church. The format is based on a model designed by Touched Twice United. Touched Twice United is a Christ-centered, faith-based organization that strives to bring healing and peace to the community.
