Stephen Ministry: Someone needs you! As current Stephen Ministers move, or retire to pursue other callings, our Stephen Ministry program needs to train others to fill their shoes so we can provide Stephen Ministry care in our church and community. We are in need of both men and women to join our ministry at PCB. We will be training a new class of Stephen Ministers beginning in September 2018. This will be a new experience for us, as we will partner with the Village church so they can also train a new group of Stephen Ministers. We have found that larger class sizes enrich the learning experience and enliven the discussions. Participants will serve in their own congregations once the training is concluded. Classes will take place on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-9:00 at the Village church, and Anna Armstrong and Julie Fischer will be co-teaching these classes. After training, our participants will join our current Stephen Ministers for supervision and continuing education on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. The 50 hours of training equips you for serving as a one-to-one Christian caregiver for an individual going through a difficult time in their lives. Please prayerfully consider this call to serve your Lord. Contact Anna Armstrong at 224-475-6997 or email annarmtsr@gmail.com if you have any questions or if you would like an application. Men s Friday Morning Study Group Our Men s Breakfast Bible Study Group meets every Friday morning at 6:30am at Egg Harbor Cafe in Barrington. All men are welcome to join any week you are available. If you have questions about our current study, please contact Pastor Joe, pastorjoe@pcbarrington.org or Don Minner, don.minner@gmail.com. PAGE 2

Summer Hours The office will be closed on Tuesday s for the months of June and July. Kitchen Kabinet June 13 speaker will be our own Jack Mumaw, retired Navy and UAL pilot. His topic will be "I got paid for getting high all you ever wanted to know about flying but were afraid to ask!" It will be a light and humorous talk about interesting incidents from his aviation career (not a repeat of his former talk about tracking Soviet Submarines), and as a bonus, he'll discuss both the Sullenberger USAir landing in the Hudson River and the recent Southwest depressurization emergency and landing.

Save the date Church Picnic August 26 details soon Volunteers needed Call or Email Carol Buchta clbuchta660@comcast.net 847-382-1951 Over the past year we have looked for ways that BPW could continue in its present form. We have arrived at the conclusion that for this to happen, new leadership has to come forth. This has not happened. As a result, it is now time for BPW to retire as a standalone organization. Most of the events and services will become part of other church committees and special interest groups, such as our Bible studies, Book clubs and Shawl ministry, will continue with their own leadership. This decision was very hard to make. It was thoroughly discussed at our last meeting on May 16, where only 16 women were in attendance. We all agreed that this change was very difficult, but necessary. Personally, we want to thank all the wonderful women in our congregation who, over the past 35 years, have diligently participated in so many ways with the work of this organization. The women of our congregation will continue to work as part of other church committees and always find ways for our fellowship to go on. Blessings to all, Susan Raaths and Linda Neton PAGE 6

Serving Opportunities Mission CROP Walk Immigration and Refugees in the US When I was a stranger, you took me in We are a country of immigrants and giving them, hospitality is a distinctly Christian virtue, highlighted by Jesus. Those who come to the US as refugees or immigrants need our support. The CROP Hunger Walk helps raise funds for groups who support them during their first years in the US. Our church participates in this Walk with most main line denominations. The CROP Hunger Walk helps disadvantaged people in the US, including immigrants and refugees to become productive, sustaining members of our local community. It helps disadvantaged families to grow and stay together. One of the reasons this continues to be relevant to our Mission Committee is because supporting this organization means supporting the hunger and hunger-related issues both in the US as well as throughout the world. They help provide food, water and sustainability to those who need it. Woodstock Soup Kitchen - We need volunteers to serve at the Woodstock Soup Kitchen. We serve on the third Sunday of the month. The soup kitchen serves meals to about 100 guests and provides food to 75+ households in the Woodstock area through an onsite food pantry.

We serve guests from 11:15am to 1:15pm and then help clean up. This is a great opportunity to serve others and enjoy fellowship together.
