Champaign Church and U of I Project

The Champaign congregation once again signed up for and used I-Help. That is students from the University of Illinois go out into the community to do volunteer work once a year. This year the students helped close out the community garden and helped set up for the basement sale. There were 18 volunteers and there was no problem keeping them busy for the 2.5 hours they were at the church. Champaign also fed the volunteers, which is not part of the program, and sent them each home with a bag of homemade cookies. It was a glorious day of work and enjoyment.
